Golden Fang?

	The clue to Hilarious’ true identity is contained within Pynchon's
	express interest in one of the doctor's funny faces: the “Fu
	Manchu.”


	In the 1950s, Atlas Comics (later Marvel Comics) published a
	short lived series entitled Yellow Claw. The main villain, the
	titular Yellow Claw, was a blatant a rip-off of Sax Rohmer’s Fu
	Manchu. The creators made Yellow Claw so close to the then
	popular Devil Doctor that from my stand point the two
	characters can be used interchagiblely. (It also helps that the
	comic stories slip neatly into the Fu Manchu chronology.
	Scholar Dennis E. Power disagrees and theorizes that the
	Yellow Claw is a soul clone of Fu Manchu.)
