Dr. Slump – Arale & Suppaman Reading the Newspaper – Original Multi-Layer Production Cel + 2 Dougas

Arale & Suppaman Reading the Newspaper – Original Dr. Slump Multi-Layer Cel + 2 Dougas

Original hand-painted Japanese animation production artwork from Dr. Slump, produced by Toei Animation from Akira Toriyama’s manga.

This is a particularly fun multi-layer setup featuring Arale Norimaki in the foreground and Suppaman behind her, dramatically reading a newspaper in his oversized sunglasses. The composition has the playful staging and unmistakable character design language associated with early Akira Toriyama.

The cel setup is made from two attached production layers: one layer for Arale and one for Suppaman/newspaper. Both matching production drawings are included.

Condition: the cel set shows visible age and production wear. Some paint/color irregularity is visible around Arale, and the two cel layers are attached. Arale’s douga has minor surface damage, while Suppaman’s douga is very readable but has a visible blue paint mark on the sleeve area. These production-related condition points are shown clearly in the photographs and are reflected in the price.

Despite the wear, the set remains a very characterful and displayable Dr. Slump piece, especially because it combines Arale with Suppaman in a single original production setup.

Original vintage Japanese animation production artwork. Unique production-used material with peg holes, studio markings and handling traces consistent with original use.
