Tensai Bakabon (Or, \"The Genius Bakabon\" ) is a gag manga starring ironically the titular character\'s father, only known as \"Bakabon\'s Papa\". The manga generally centers around episodic stories of Papa causing trouble around town due to his own and his son\'s complete and utter incompetence. This usually attracts the attention of the local trigger-happy policeman \"Honkan\", as well as causing issues for Bakabon\'s mother (Also just known as \"Bakabon\'s Mama\" ) and his younger, but extremely intelligent brother, Hajime. While the series is quite old, many of the jokes and stories are timeless in execution, and hold up well today, which is largely why it\'s considered a classic series in Japan. 3 Bilingual comics where released by Kodansha in the early 2000s. --- - **Won the Bungeishunjū Manga Award in 1971**
