Topic: New Pac-Man cartoon?!

The official art calls him Puck-man? Is that because he's shaped like a Hockey puck? I always thought that the name Pac-man worked well because he's always packing away those tiny white dots and ghosts if you get the cherries.

He was originally named Puck-man, but it was quickly changed.  Even the executives realized a Puck-Man logo would be very easy to change into something ... not kid friendly.

Also, Pakkuman was called that because "pakku" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of someone eating.

This is almost more like a Pac-man prequel from the one episode I saw a piece of. Don't like that the Ghosts are "good guys" and Pinky has a crush on Pac-man. That's a little odd.

I seem to remember Pinky indicating she had a crush on Pac-Man in the old series episode/special "Christmas Comes to Pac-Land" (the only episode of the old series I've seen) but it's been years since I watched that.

Why would pinky have a crush on Pac-man when all throughout the game she's tried to kill him? Or is it merely a rouse to sneak poor ol' Pac-man back to her lair and have her way with him...

Its because he is "eating" her all the time...
