<===
I've seen a few people here reference this wierd looking thingo, i've even actually seen in the anime even though it's only on screen for about half a second.
So does this thing
have any purpose at all? Is it a character from the old days I haven't come across yet? Or is it just a random smilie?
Help would be appreciated

He's one of those random characters Tezuka threw in his manga to lighten up the mood when things got too serious. For example, Astro would be fighting a badguy in a cave and suddenly a whole slew of them would just fall from the ceiling and no one would notice. Or, someone might turn a corner and there he would be just sitting there (although he would usually get kicked out of the panel by someone).
He's basically a running gag.
