Nonki na Tousan

Nonki na Tousan is an early manga comic strip by Asou Yutaka, first published in 1923, in the newspaper Hochi Shinbun. The strip follows the antics created by the main character, Nonkina Tousan (Easygoing Daddy) and his partner Tonari no Taishou (隣のタイショウ). Inspired by American comics, especially Bringing Up Father, it was one of the pioneering yonkoma, becoming a success, generating a number of merchandising items and adaptations to animated shorts and feature films.
