Dr. Elephun and Sensi in mana as other characters.

Here is an evil scientist, and is the good-guy out to stop him. X-Point on the South Pacific is the Manga, and this is the first one in which I have seen in another series other than Astroboy. I find the whole site very interesting, and recommend it highly.

Do you mean the earliest non-Astroboy work featuring Dr Elefun, or the first you have come across?

I saw a flash anime at Tezuka Osamu Cinema with Dr Elefun in it. It was actually about Black Jack, but Dr Elefun played quite a prominent role. It was in Japanese though so I couldn't understand any of it. And I don't know if it was a new story or a remake of one of Tezuka's mangas.

I find the character Torch to be very interesting. He made quite an evolution of development in Tezuka's works.

Also looks quite similar to the president of the class in the 80s Astroboy.

I mean the first one I have come accross. I am looking at these manga synopses, and it it taking hours. I have cable modem, but there are so many of them. Tezuka really was the god of manga. :wahah: Mustachio (Mr. Pompous, also resembles the guy on the Monopoly game) is seen in quite a number of other titles, as 'Uncle', 'Grandpa', but usually as the Japanese name for Mustachio, 'Higeoyaji'.. Ok, so the resembelence is not as strong as I had thought.

Heeey! You're right...now that you bring it up!
Although the more I look at it, the more I find the resemblance fade (like you were saying).
I guess at first glance it's the whole similarity with having the droopy-down moustaches, but then again...not quite

I should have used a pic with a happy facial expression. B)

I, too, think all people with white moustaches look the same.
