Osamu Tezuka, God of Manga. Here is his Self Portrait. Other short movies by him will follow in the blog. He was a Medical Doctor who never practiced medicine. instead he gave us Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion, which was fair. A retrospective will be at Freer one of these days. I cannot be there, but I will offer you some of his finest creations. Just enjoy!
