Is this a homage to somebody?
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/009-1]wikipedia's 009-1 page[/url] notes two homages to Gerry & Silvia Anderson in this series, but did its authors miss this homage, is it
even a homage at all?

The beret must indicate an artist, maybe a mangaka. But I wonder who would have such a beard and mustache, certainly not Shotaro Ishinomori.

I was thinking, except for what appears a mustache & beard, this was Tezuka. But the image is just too small for certainty.

The hat says Tezuka, but ya, for sure the face isn't detailed enough to say for sure...

I thought the same thing. He is dressed like
this Tezuka.

Shy of the facial hair, yeah, pretty much!

I dunno, the one in this picture has clothes almost entirely red except for the blue sleeves (forgive my colourblindess if I do any mistake). Looks like he has a bib.
The only thing red in that 1980's Astro Boy pic is the tie. Oh and I'm almost sure he's missing glasses.

LOL! He sorta looks like Mario now that I review it again!
And you're right F-Man, he's not wearin' glasses, he just got some ginormous eyeballs!

I think he is wearing glasses. The "ginormous eyeballs" are the glasses themselves. I can tell because I can see they are "linked" to the left ear (the right in the image).
