In a fit of surrealism...

... Kimba the White Lion is visiting Paris. Cameo by Astroboy.
ETA: Speedy Cheetah attacks Kimba, whose dad offed his granddad. But no! As Kimba explains, he was trapped by Irish washerwomen in the sewers of Paris, where he encountered Grandfather Quasimodo, escaped from the circus. Quasimodowas gunned down by the police pretended to be gunned down by the police. For some reason, Speedy doesn't believe Kimba's account. Anyway in the end they're all friends and what appears to be the entire fauna of East Africa visits the World's Fair. Every word of this is true.
Earlier I stood on poor Frank's paw, really hard, as I was wearing shoes and didn't realise until he made an awful sound. I apologised with a cuddle and paw check (seems fine). Do you think they understand, in some sense, when we apologise?

Indeed, during Buddha there is a scene where one character (I forget whom) is delerious with fever, whilst another character is diagnosing him, for one panel the second character actually appears as Tezuka's rogue doctor character Black Jack!

It was poignant and a bit weepy. And our hero is dark and mysterious and has a scar on his face but seems to be a nice guy.
