Odnośnie "Junkies"....Taka aluzyjka [a może nawiązanko?] mi się w oczy rzuciła- i podzielę się spostrzeżeniem, czy to komuś potrzebne, czy nie
Naukowiec w komiksie
to istna "Warai Hannya" mistrza Hokusai
Tu więcej o tej sympatycznej,uśmiechniętej demonicy-
"A grinning, horned female demon (hannya) appears in a
round window, pointing to the severed, bloody head of
an infant, gripped in her talons. Hokusai seems to have
combined two demonic strains here. Hannya was
originally an Indian smallpox deity, who came to
represent the ghost of a jealous lover in the Noh
theatre, often with a horned mask. To heighten the
horror, he has also given her the attributes of a
‘mountain woman’ (yamauba), who by the eighteenth
century usually nurtured infants, but earlier had often
devoured them."
