Dear Editor Hiroshi of the Megasaki Senior High Daily-Manifesto: in a series of first-rate articles by an attractive cub-reporter on your staff, you shine a spot-light on the great injustice that has occurred under the Kobayashi Administration. I have spent much of my time in recent weeks traveling in the company of the very kind of animals our mayor refers to as "bad-dogs." They are the finest living-beings I have ever come to know in all my dozen years on this earth. To your readers, the good people of Megasaki, I say: the cycle of life always hangs in a delicate balance. Who are we, and who do we want to be?

In response to questions regarding the purported disappearance of his ward Atari, Mayor Kobayashi offers no comment and urges reporters to respect the privacy of the mayoral-household. Atari, aged 12, was last seen early yesterday morning rolling a small airplane onto a runway at Megasaki Executive Airport.

We get the idea. You're looking for your lost dog, Spots. - Does anybody know him? - Hmm. No. Uh-uh.

My friends think I like to fight, but it's just not true. Sometimes I lose my temper and blow off a little steam, but I've never enjoyed it.

Master Atari-san, I swore an oath when I assumed the responsibilities of official bodyguard-dog to the mayoral-household! I could never be persuaded to break that vow for any reason whatsoever! I'll always be loyal to you as my only and unconditional master! But circumstances have radically changed for me and all the pets of Megasaki City! I have new obligations which I never anticipated! I've become the leader of a tribe of outcasts who depend on me for their survival, and I'm going to be a father! With deepest sadness and humility: I must ask you to relieve me of the duties of my position, effective immediately. You son of a bitch. If we don't drown, I'm going to strangle you myself. I don't care how many exploding teeth you try to spit-out at me. Do you have any idea what that Little Pilot just went through to try to rescue you? How dare you?

Hmm. I take it one day at a time. Last week, I nearly be-handed an industrial lobbyist from West Suzuki. They had to give him a blood transfusion. He probably had it coming. Maybe. Learned any new tricks? Actually, yes. Just one. Can I see it?

I beg your pardon. Ignore that dog. He's got Snout-fever. Just please follow us.

First-things-first: let's open his helmet so he can breathe some air if he's alive, then see if we can pull that hunk of broken propeller-clutch out of the side of his head if it doesn't kill him. - Does that sound right? - Yeah, that's right. Mmm-hmm.

How does she keep her fur so clean? There's no shampoo on Trash Island. You heard the rumor, right? About her and Felix. - What'd they say? - Felix? No. - What happened to them? - They mated. Ooh. Who is Felix again? All the ones I like: they're never in heat. Hey, now, that puddle-jumper's flying crooked. - Oh, you're right. - Ease up. - Pull up. - He's gonna lose a wing.

According to a long-standing statute unique to Uni Prefecture, in the event of the death, disappearance, or felony-prosecution of the chosen candidate on, while, during, or concurrent with the Re-Election-Night ceremony, all powers and authorities vested in his or her designated office transfer forthwith to his or her next-of-kin and/or appointed heir. In other words, Atari Kobayashi is the new mayor of Megasaki City!

This small minority of dog-lovers has been sent by overseas special-interest groups to agitate disorder and incite anarchy. I hereby cancel and nullify Foreign-exchange student Walker's senior high school study-visa. She will be expelled from class, stripped of her course-credits, and formally deported on the next direct-flight - back to Cincinnati, Ohio. - Oh. Hmm.
