This is a small statue of Papa (Bakabon's papa) at the Ome station in the countryside of Tokyo. Bakabon was created by Fujio Akatsuka who moved to Ome when he was 19, and stated the manga series. Fujio Akatsuka shows that "manga" is NOT a style, but a name for ANY cartoon in print (or electronic for today's technology) form.

Thanks for coming by!
Have a good weekend, see you back here on Monday!
