Actually, looking a bit more closely, they're definitely Ankhs.

So, three options:
1) The little evil laughs "Nanananananana".
2) They're just crosses.
3) Tat mis-remembered his katakana (tsk tsk). |
well, i don't know katakana, but one of the versions of the classic evil laugh is 'nya-nya-nya-nya-nya' - perhaps 'na' was a close as katakana would let him get?
and it is clearly _not_ an ankh, since the only person who laughs 'ankh-ankh-ankh-ankh' is popeye, and little evil is clearly not even remotely related to popeye.

| "Nya" in Katakana would mean he was meowing. |

It looks very much like the sparkles that Major Armstrong has around him all the damn tyime in Full Metal Alchemist. Which was as good an effect there as it is here.

The thing that confuses me is how his collar flips up and down in every panel.
Unless it's down the entire time and it looks weird from the back.

The ha/na thing reminds me of how terrible manga artists' handwriting is. Have you ever seen their scribbles on the sides of pages? I don't understand how an artist, of all people, can fail to write legibly. |
Tat seems to have good handwriting, however. -shrug- Whatever the marks mean, 'tis a very cute comic. |
