The Origin of Ham Egg (ハム エッグ）

Here's a little bit of Osamu Tezuka trivia, one of Tezuka's most well known star system characters, Ham Egg, is actually not an original character by Tezuka, but was heavily influenced by the villain from Milt Gross' comic, "He Done Her Wrong". This character (just called, "Villain", since he was never given a name in the book) looks very similar to Ham Egg and plays an underhanded pseudo-business man, just like Ham Egg is usually depicted as.

Doodling in the old sketchbook. Today's subject was characters originally drawn by Milt Gross (1895-1953). Milt Gross was a great early cartoonist and animator. Not only did he do fun newspaper strips like Banana Oil, Great Exaggerations, and The Feitelbaum Family but he put out Yiddish tinged early graphic novels like De Night in de Front from Chreesmas (a parody of The Night Before Christmas). You can really see his influence on more modern cartoonists, whether directly or indirectly, like Harvey Kurtzman and even John Kricfalusi (creator of Red and Stimpy).
