Regarding our logo

Growing up, I had a tiny black and white portable TV.  One of my earliest memories of watching that TV is experiencing my first taste of Japanese Animation.  I was raised on the adventures of Prince Planet.  Since Animation, comics, and all things visual will be a big part of this Blogging adventure, I thought it only fitting to include the character on NeoRetroCrash's cover photo.
Prince Planet is the English-language title given to one of the earliest Japanese anime TV series, Planet Boy Papi (遊星少年パピイ Yūsei Shōnen Papī?), when it was transmitted on American television in the United States in the mid-1960s. It currently runs on "The Works" television network. A 52-episode monochrome anime series, it tells the story of a member of the Universal Peace Corps, originally from the planet Radion, coming to Earth on a mission to determine if this world meets standards for membership in the Galactic Union of Worlds and assist its inhabitants during his stay. While on his mission, Prince Planet adopts the identity of an Earth boy named Bobby and gains comrades who work together alongside him fighting forces of evil, both alien and terrestrial.
