More Astro Boy fanart! I'm not very satisfied with the background, I hope to redraw this illustration next year, the way I imagine it in my mind. Note to myself.

guys, who has the damn post from 10+ years ago where Astro Boy accidentally electrocutes a dog just from it jumping on him, then the owner is so mad that he tries to strangle Astro, then it cuts to Astro and the doctor standing in front of their graves?

Japanese author and social media man, Kyota Ko, released a couple short-form videos about Osamu Tezuka, in which he discusses (with a lot of humor) Tezuka's penchant for random cravings, constantly missing deadlines while authoring 7 to 8 manga series among different publishers at the same time, and having several editors from different publishers in his office at the same time.
