Manning's pictures are populated with suspiciously puzzling figures. They are migrants from the world of comics, fairy tales, folk art, animated films, video games, advertising, kitsch, fantasy and horror films, from the world of arts and crafts and souvenir shops: garden gnomes, elves, Japanese anime characters , Witches, kittens, plush toys, skulls, nutcrackers, mushroom heads and many other figures and things that Mannig removes from their home turf and manipulates for his purposes.

Medially conveyed and well-known images of cartoon and fairy tale characters turn into nauseating, cruel or perverse horror characters through Mannig's interpretation. His characters are characterized by ambivalence. He puts a skull on the good children. The previously sexless teddy bear is excited. The pin-up girl is disfigured by a repulsive grimace and completely unbalanced by means of a halo.
