Kenya Boy and its complicated relationship with Queerness

We have no idea that Kenya Boy has inspired 3 video games, two movies (live action and animation), a manga with 2 runs, a monthly retelling for similar audiences and a live action tv show.  And now for something different! A revised backstory for Zega will unfortunately involve his wife dying of tuberculosis (after all, even though it's native to Africa, it still has shaped human history, but who cares) before Zega himself got raped by his superior (and almost dying because of it). Even sadder was that he surely was pelted on by most people in his village within every frigging whim possible. Zega also seems to be one of a few surviving seniors in a Kenyan Maasai village, since the typical life expectancy of a Maasai person is currently a somewhat measly 55-60 years old (an improvement with somehow more varied diets and slightly more vaccines in comparison to decades ago when it was a measlier 41-45 years old), partly due to both a relatively large lack of vaccines and partly due to...

Tarzan in Hispanic and Philippine Musicals

Tarzan as a character has clearly appeared in numerous Spanish speaking musicals, with some being based on either the Weissmuller films, the Disney film or the Broadway musical.  The most popular Tarzan musical in Spain is simply called Tarzan: The Musical, which in fact is a Castilian Spanish folk-jazz fest based on both the Disney instalments and Johnny Weissmuller films, as indicated by the addition of Tamara Agudo voicing a puppet for the ever-infamous Cheeta the chimp! It’s rather distinct in that Guillermo Pareja played its own bearded Tarzan, who is the orphaned son of enterprising castaways Mr and Mrs Smith. His girlfriend is Jeanette Bishop, played by Alba Mesa, who is simply another exclusive character with the sass of Maureen O’Sullivan’s Jane Parker and the nerdiness of Disney’s Jane Porter.  A somewhat older companion musical was made by Rafael Brunet for regional audiences in the Balearics and mainland eastern Spain, which features its own exclusive animal charac...

Here come the Robots!

The certainty that Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine began life with of all things - a classy Tetsujin 28 competitor - is a frankly unknown curio amongst super robot fans outside Japan. Amongst his works besides Kuro Obi Kun and the less popular Tokyo Tarzan, No. 13 Take Off is a creation of Yoshiteru Takano, an unsung manga author turned camera store pioneer.  Despite its more hokey design, it’s much unlike the remote controlled and ugly-cute Tetsujin 28, who likely has the interesting title of being ‘the first robot character of what’s now considered the unlikely but true first Mon-themed work ever’. Although indirectly inspired by Manoel Messias de Mello’s Audaz the Demolisher, the first piloted non-American super robot with its own eponymous comic, Ken Ishikawa’s Getter Robos have more famous exploits. Frankly, the Getter Robos also have another stylistic predecessor in Leonel Guillermo Prieto’s similar but lesser known Invictus from Mexico.  While also inspired by Invictu...
