Got myself another Pac-Mythical! The snake body here is based on the rattler in the 1936 Harman-Ising cartoon Early Bird and the Worm, qv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXuuLQRIEh8 ... That snake had a nice lumpy body that looked awfully good and made it hard to be sure he was the villain of the piece. (The baby rattler held in his tail also helped because how can that be something a villain holds?) So, what to do with a snake but attach Pac-Man's head to it and make a naga?
I tossed in one of the monster ghosts because, boy, it's weird I've done this many of them without at least a reaction shot. I gave the ghost yellow eyes to suggest being afraid, but it looks like he's just wearing fried eggs instead. Ah well.

I'm just really fascinated by the sheer challenge the developers of that show had.
How do you create a coherent narrative out of source material that best resembles bunch of amoebas drifting around and eating each other under an 8-bit microscope?
Simple, rip off our own adaptation of a Franco-Belgian comic we have the rights for!
Its BEAUTIFUL.
The only other direction I could have seen them going in was a sort of Chuck Jones type thing where Pac-Man was a sort of innocent but trouble making creature that was constantly eating all the fruit in a hedge-maze like garden that the Ghosts were guard dogs for and responsible for protecting with various traps, gadgets, and strategies, and it could sort of be like Road Runner and Coyote where the Ghosts always get defeated and Pac-Man eventually gets in and eats all the fruit, but the audience kind of ends up rooting for them both.
