On a day like this but 2 years ago, Kazuhiko Katō (Creator of Lupin The Third) passed away.
His legacy will never be forgotten, thank you Monkey Punch for creating my favorite animated franchise.
Another wonderful photo of Monkey Punch with one of the legends of MAD Magazine, Don Martin, published on the Magazine "Monthly Superman No.7" -「月刊スーパーマンNo.7」(1978).

I simply love how you can see how his style went from Mort Drucker to take Aragones/Mordillo to pure Monkey Punch.
Even to this day, the art of the Lupin manga is the most unique compared to any other.
-Lupin III (1967-1969)
-Isshuku Ippan
-Shin Lupin III (1977-1981)
Years apart, in a completely opposite publication and continents of distance and yet the influence that both North and Latin American artists had on Monkey Punch is incredible and undeniable.
Just like Lupin, the manga is fill with love for the world and everything in it.
We can find one of Monkey Punch's biggest artistic inspiration in this direct reference to "The Shadows Knows" by Sergio Aragones for MAD Magazine #107 (1966).
