Osamu Tezuka, TF kinkist?

Look in the back of the pic, there's rather out there TF smut...
The snake is obviously TF, and I'ma call the mouse pics a TF in progress, but out of sequence. You see the tail lengthen and fur creep up across the pictures... What's the word for half-human half-furry characters in that vein? Satyrs?

Now I'm looking back through all his books for clues, and I'm seeing too many of them. "Pheonix: Sun," with the korean wolf guy, "Ode To Kirihito," people turning into dog-beasts through unknown means and the cage dog rape scene, about half of "Kimba," in "MW" he just inserted a scene of Yuki shagging his dog for no plot reason, "Unico" has that kitten that wants to be a girl, "Marvelous Melmo..." why do the pills let her turn into animals? Because Tezuka said so. Hell, "Atomcat!" He literally turned his most famous character into a cat just because he felt like it! How did we not notice this? XD
"Metropolis," "MW," and "Princess Knight," with their genderbending stuff, "Dororo," "Astro Boy" and "Black Jack" with the 'we can remake your broken body through technology' aspect, the whole concept of infinitely malleable bodies with the Moopies in "Pheonix: Future," I think he has an issue here...
Leaving aside the entirety of "Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature," which I should think is furry without saying.
It occurs to me, he has every reason to be fascinated with magical TF stuff. He was a doctor, he's seen enough anatomy... wouldn't you want to just shapeshift your patient back into health after a while? His work certainly seems to involve a lot of TF elements... now all of a sudden I feel that chunk of "Buddha" where Siddharta muses to Asaji about how "those elephants won't feel death until they're actually dying..." Has that note of transcendent Whitman wistfulness you see in TF porn, no?
(Also didn't know until I looked it up that he's descended from Hattori Hanzo... But everyone who only knows him for "Astro Boy," look up his other stuff. Ode to Kirihito, Apollo's Song (Aporo no Uta), MW, A Boy Called Adolf, the two masterpiece series "Phoenix" and "Buddha..." He basically reinvented the medium of comics as high art, made some awesome animations, rewrote the entire vocabulary of subject matter and panel divisions, worked in every genre known to the industry and invented even more, and in general was a literary god?)

...Wonder if he was 'affected' by Pinnochio the same way everybody else here was. :P
He mentions each Disney film by year of release in Japan... If I remember right, Pinocchio was released in the mid-50s or so. Like '55 or something. The Disney shorts were out there immediately after the war, they were easier to dub than the features.
So I don't know if Tezuka was interested in TF at that time, but I remember "Lost World" was 1948, and even that had surgically anthropomorphic animals and plants in girl form (literally pressed out of molds)... So maybe something was percolating in him for a bit, not sure if Disney was the impetus for the anthro art, but the tf aspect, maybe.
Let's not be western-centric with this, as a Japanese kid he would have known Japan's singular percentage of shapeshifters. Bakeneko, Tanuki, Kitsune, Mujina, and the singularly large set of mukashi-banashi... I've seen versions of the Crane Wife around the world, Anchin and Kiyohime and all... there's in Japanese fairy-tales all the amount of shapeshifting we have in the west. He'd almost certainly be aware of the concepts without needing it to be codified in film. Only in the west have our childhoods been molded by film in the way that folktales usually function. It's interesting how our expectations are raised and lowered by the films we consume...
I'm certain my spark was at age 8 or so when Calvin and Hobbes ran the transmogrifier strips. To this day I've less a fondness for the high-commitment, long transition teefs as for the capricious, freeformedly magical, infinitely reversible "I left some room, just write it on the side" genre.
The Pinocchio Donkey scene, yes, it was fappable, but more horrifying than anything else. http://mayersononanimation.blogspot.....-part-19a.html Here's Mark Mayerson on it... the parallel between Alexander earlier, we've already established that these kids are cut off forever from species, family, human contact, sold to the salt mines, everything. But seeing Lampwick - the swaggering delinquent, immune to family feeling- crack out his last word... that's the part that gives you nightmares. The most terrifying of all things is for no one to be safe. Not even the strong, motherfucker, what chance do you have...
(Hell, everything's horrifying in this community. You remember that C&H storyline where Calvin turned his duplicates into worms and set them loose? The transmogrifier gun is temporary, so we're left to conclude that they turned human underground and suffocated. In the same vein, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylves.....e_Magic_Pebble I'm fairly certain this book fucked up many a childhood.)
I'll have to look at Carl Barks again and look for TFy elements... any stories I should start with?
And the leopard guy in "Cleopatra," he never got over how funny attempted leopard sex really is.
