HNY-15-Astro Boy Traditional Cache

For HNY-15 I had to put out a group of caches dedicated to the cartoons of my youth. Great cartoons of the 80s that had us up on Saturday mornings eating our Cheerios in front of the TV and filled our summer mornings with such laughter. So enjoy these caches and the memories they will bring back

Astro Boy, known in Japan by its original name Mighty Atom (Japanese: 鉄腕アトム Hepburn: Tetsuwan Atomu^?), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka^[5] from 1952 to 1968. The story follows the adventures of a robot named Astro Boy and a selection of other characters.^[6]

The manga was adapted into the first popular animated Japanese television series that embodied the aesthetic that later became familiar worldwide as anime.^[7] After enjoying success abroad, Astro Boy was remade in the 1980s as New Mighty Atom, known as Astroboy in other countries, and again in 2003. In November 2007, he was named Japan's envoy for overseas safety.^[8] An American computer-animated 3-D film based on the original manga series by Tezuka was released on October 23, 2009.
