I heard you liked Faust, so I drew you a Faust Jon. Wait, what do you mean wrong Faust?!? For Context, this Faust is from a Drama-esque novel by the same name written by german poet and writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, basically Germanys equivalent to Shakespeare. And the reason why Pon-Pon is there is because in the novel Faust actually makes a deal with the devil to achieve absolute knowledge, meaning of life and such.

Ps: here is a good translation of the text above, the beginning and most quoted part of the book:

I’ve studied now Philosophy
and Jurisprudence, Medicine, -
and even, alas! Theology, -
From end to end, with labor keen;
And here, poor fool! with all my lore
I stand, not wiser than before:
Am Magister - yea, Doctor - hight,
and straight and cross-wise, wrong or right
These ten years long, with many woes,
I’ve led my scholars by the nose, -
and see that nothing can be known!
That knowledge cuts me to the bone.
