General Tezuka questions (got a question?, get an answer!)

Answer to the Disney question: The answer is yes and you should know this having read metropolis. All of Tezuka's work is heavily influenced by Disney's style and Tezuka had a great respect for Disney. In one of those early books (future world?), Mustachio guts a giant rat that looks exactly like mickey mouse and uses its hide as a disguise. Now that's a great tribute to Disney!

Nevermind that in Jungle Emperor, Leo goes around early in the manga wearing suspenders that look surprisingly like mickey's!

There is no manga about Hyoutan-Tsugi, it's a novel, and it's called "Poison Mushroom" - you can see more if you read the Hyoutan-Tsugi profile on our character profiles page.

I read that, but I assumed you just meant "manga", instead of "novel".

I don't wanna be offensive here but I'm curious how Tezuka, you know, died...

[putrocca]

Stomach cancer, not diagnosed until it was too late.

His last words were, "Please, I'm begging you, let me keep working."

Where's BJ when you need him?
