For those who've seen enough of the Atom manga, what are the little gut buster moments of Tezuka comedy that you like?
Mine is from the last Atom manga issue Tezuka did in the 1980's involving the boy Atlas. His creator and Skunk came up with this idea that he should be able to destroy Atom by tricking him into a showing off contest of skills and power...
The skill he was supposed to get Atom with? taking a wiz!
That's right, Atlas taking a nitro Glicerine "wiz" and blowing Atom to bits.
Well our boy bots engage in this youthful power match and as expected Atlas tries to do his business, but Atom stops him....
"No! You shouldn't do it here, it is unsightly. Use a bathroom." Atom tells Atlas so Atlas flies back to the castle, takes a wiz and blows both Skunk and his creator sky high.
I can't help laugh every time I read it.

However, the one where Cobalt says, "Humans sure are weird", referring to their taking enegy orally is also quite a hoot!
