This is my favorite type of Lupin, not being afraid to touch the absurd and embrace influences like Tom & Jerry or the Looney Tunes, will always be welcome. The same goes for the audience, embrace the saturday morning cartoon.

I hear out there that you love this kind of things.

One of my favorite Lupin stories overall is about a kid that was to young for being bad. https://t.co/kOOtxkQ8jU

Randoms panels that i like:

(1st pic) One of MP tips was find new speech bubbles to add variaty to the comics. Let's see some examples from his own work, in this case: Shin Lupin III

Spaghetti Jigen - Vl.3 Ch.23 (Shin Lupin III) #LupinIII Jigen has to face an expert marksman assassin, in classic old west style. Come on Jigen, you can't lose, a woman is waiting for you.

The rest is Silence - Vl.5 Ch.40 (Shin Lupin III) Lupin meets again with an old friend from his childhood, but this time things will be different in this other great experimental chapter that is completely absent from dialogue.

MP didn't have anything to do with the animation besides the character desing, but the staff on Toei were truly big fans of his work, adding a reference to one of his comic strips (Isshuku Ippan). Monkey Punch also re-use the desing of one of the antagonist from Shin Lupin III. https://t.co/Yr51gNdt1r

Shin Lupin III Chapter 82 - "安全ベルト" #モンキーパンチ #ルパン三世

“When I was in primary school, I read Edogawa Rampo with great enthusiasm. In particular, The "Phantom With Twenty Faces" I even visited the Sumida River, where it was set, as soon as I moved to Tokyo. Rampo's world had the scent of adulthood.” -Monkey Punch (2007) #ルパン三世
