I was watching the Episode that introduced Reno. The Japanese version uses the 'boy's heart' melody at various places in the story. I also noticed something that I missed before, the ringmaster looks an awful lot like Grocho Marx!

Probably an unintentional resemblance, if indeed there is one at all. Like they said, perhaps a little bit. But the mustache throws it off; it's the wrong kind, isn't it?

Groucho had a large "painted on" Mustache that sometimes extended downwards, it depended on how careful he was with the makeup. He also had painted on eyebrows that look like the ringmaster.

Later on in life he had a real mustache.

Did Tezuka ever grow a mustache or smoke a cigar? Well Grocho did wear a Beret.

Well, Tezuka smoked. I'm pretty sure of that. Not so sure about cigars, though.

Cigarettes for sure, he was chain smoking them in the video that came with the McCarthy book I have. Probably what led to his stomach cancer.

I'm pretty sure that was confirmed. I didn't really want to bring that up, though. Kind of a bringer-downer, yeah? :(
