<p>I apologise for the theological sounding question, but I couldn't phrase it any better.</p>

<p>In Oyasumi PunPun, PunPun can see God whenever he chants <em>'Dear God, dear God, tinkle-tinkle hoy'</em></p>

<p>This character always has the same expression and is realistic to a point that it seems it has been copied from a photograph or similar media.</p>

<p>Is God based on the appearance of the mangaka or anyone in particular?</p>

Probably some mangaka assistant like Maeda-kun in Kumeta's works.
