Okay, I bought vol 1 of the manga on Saturday, after Talienas basically put it in my hands at the Kinokuniya at Mitsuwa. I really haven't gotten very far in it, though, having had (as I think I've mentioned) a somewhat busy weekend.
Anyway, I was thinking on some of the ideas about the card-based game that seems to be central to the story, and the following nasty little idea came to my mind (and a nice extra bit got inspired by a running gag in a thread in another area).
Doug gets into one of these challenges, somehow, and someone lends him a deck. Far as I can tell, the decks are magical in some way; the magic of the deck and Doug's field interact, reshaping the deck in unexpected ways... the creatures it now summons are all cartoon characters. The image I came up with was Doug playing The Rabbit, which then did the "my stars! Monsters are such innnnnnteresting people" hairdresser bit against the opponent's creature.
And the extra? Doug plays The Fudd, who looks like he's going to get creamed by the opposition -- until Doug augments him with the Spear and Magic Helmet...
("SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG!!!!!!")
