Yes, this is very interesting information. I'm glad it was pointed out that "Tetsuwan Atom" had a lot of satirical content, as to caricature Japan's then, Prime Minister as well as another of its historically significant ministers also, of that period. (or 1964 to be more specific.)

The caricatures themselves may not have been the best, but looking at the pictures in the links you provided, I could see the resemblence.

Thank you again for these little insightful tidbits. It makes me appreciate the work of the "Mighty Atom" creator and his production staff even more.
