Yeah, even seeing the scanlation, it's still a WTF thing. For some reason it reminds me a little of Domo, but... if the face was the other way around I would think he was inspired by some trick-or-treating bags, but who knows.

Re: scanlations: the group can take as long as needed to get it done! It's a great service to those who can't read Japanese, we should be patient.
