The original didn’t have the joint and smoke. I’m also not sure why you’re blaming Japan when this is obviously a homage from a fan who simply drew it his way. I know the “I hate anything Asian” is your thing or whatever but since you’re an artist yourself I would expect you to be a little more open minded than that. So “Japan” takes a lot of things from other cultures and creates their own version, big deal. Nobody forces you to look at it or like it. The one thing I do wonder about is if there are people in Japan who whine about other countries that copy their stuff, like horror films.

Oh yeah I was gonna quote Paul_Is_Drunk on something and look what I found, http://www.myconfinedspace.com/2009/02/09/calvin-hobbes-adult-years/

I don’t know why I expected you to be open minded at all. Nor do you know a whole lot about the history of art.
