Both contain similar humor as well as a bizarre and unique world 

A highly energetic girl with extreme strength that goes around and often times causes havoc or misery to others. A vast cast of utterly ridiculous characters that have very little to no normal traits, often times they will be complete scumbags or at least morally ambiguous too Casual/Non-stimulating sexual humor in almost every chapter. 

Each of the characters have some sort of loveable quirk about them, that its so funny when they get into any shenanigans! Check it out if you want to read a silly comedy! 

Both series revolve around silly robot hijinks, they both have old school artstyles and storyboards and they’re both fun and quick easy reads. Roboco takes a lot of inspiration from Slump among other things, the main difference between it and Slump is the that Roboco has a lot of Shonen Jump references which Slump does not. Both are nice to read. 

Akira Toriyama and Hisashi Eguchi both influenced each other a lot during the 80's. The influence of Dr. Slump-style comedy in Stop!! Hibari-kun is glaring. Both manga were published simultaneously on Shounen Jump - Hibari-kun starting a year later - and, on this manga, it's quite clear that Eguchi tried to copy Akira Toriyama's style of writing and drawing. In some pages, it feels you're actually reading Dr. Slump. However, Hibari-kun, on it's own, is no Dr. Slump copy. Eguchi's manga main theme is Hibari-kun's crossdressing (or transgenderism, on a modern interpretation). Most jokes revolve around Hibari-kun being so pretty that, even though other people know that a man dressing and acting like a woman is wrong (according to the 80's zeitgeist), they can do nothing but accept Hibari-kun in the end. If this type of story appeals to you and you like Dr-Slump-style comedy, you definitely should read this manga and/or watch it's anime adaptation. Finally, it's interesting to notice now Akira Toriyama also got influenced later by Eguchi, specially when designing female characters. Some female characters in Dragon Ball bear striking similarities to Eguchi characters - Bulma in particular is practically an (older) carbon-copy of Hibari's younger sister! read more 

Same author, but more hilarious than Neko Majin. It focus is the comedy in particular. 

If you like stories about annoying little children who get out of hand and cause trouble (not to mention potty humor) then you'll definitely enjoy both Dr. Slump (from famed author Akira Toriyama) and Crayon Shin-chan (which is vastly different from the English dubbed anime which appears on [adult swim]). Dr. Slump has a few more fantasy and sci-fi elements than Shin-chan does but they both provide wacky situations with even wackier protagonists who can never just "go with the flow."  

There both funny and in both the main character is a mischievous girl, although Yotsuba is more clueless. 

Both are about some imaginatory modern inventions. 

Both series have a largely episodic nature and juvenile humour. DMC's more crass about it, but Dr. Slump's poop and sex jokes prove it's far from innocent.
