![]() | The beloved comic book series Dogman is set to mark its eightieth anniversary this year. A coalition of comic book aficionados, young and old, have gathered outside your office to decide how to best celebrate this achievement. “You know what I loved?” reminisces ageing general Jenna Hunt. “The war arc! Ha ha! Great fun to see Dogman giving those blighters from Blackacre what-for! That’s the kind of patriotic hero our country should be celebrating. Make Dogman a symbol of patriotism and Wisterian supremacy, an icon of our strength! Our enemies will learn to truly fear our bark and our bite.” “You know, Dogman stands for a lot more than just beating up bad guys,” counters Napoleon Pond, a well-known environmentalist and peace activist. “He shows children how important it is to take care of nature, and how kindness is the greatest superpower of all. Dogman-themed recycling bins and a positive ad campaign could be a great hit and really send out the right message.” “Dogman is all very well, and a good role model for boys, but what about the girls?” asks renowned newspaper columnist Stephanie Wickremesinghe. “Why don’t we use this to celebrate some of the famous women in the comics? After all, Dogman’s long-term love interest donned the mantle of Weasel Lady for four whole issues whilst Dogman was in hospital after his battle with Irritant Flower.” “Hah! That run of comics was so full of inconsistencies it would be funny if it weren’t so tragic,” sneers comic book enthusiast and self-proclaimed expert on Dogman, Bella Dixon. “Quite apart from anything else, The Bamboozler’s machine was destroyed in issue 242, yet somehow he manages to bring it back to mortally wound Dogman in a later issue. And a normal human that is somehow able to don the sacred Weasel Lady mantle? Worst storyline ever! Let’s at least make this celebration somewhat balanced. I have a long list here of the various inconsistencies in the series for your speech...” “You know these comics are bull, right?” says Jamie Logan, former vigilante and one of six men who has fought crime on the streets under the mantle of Dogman in the past century. “Maybe a quarter of it happened, and not like this. In the real world, people die, and no dude in a leotard can stop that. Adults shouldn’t read superhero comics. Force them to grow up, and drag them back to face reality.” He stares moodily at the cloudy sky, waiting for the Dogsignal. | |

![]() | The Issue A recent financial crisis has seen the currency of East Lebatuck plummet, making that nation a popular holiday destination for Wisterians. Some shrewd citizens have discovered that a one lira Lebatuckese coin, worth 0.25 of a franc, has exactly the same size and shape as a one franc coin. Their similarity is fooling vending machines in Wisteria and Surrounding Territories, giving an effective 75% discount to coin fraudsters. | |

![]() | The Issue This past week the legislature shot down a flagship law, setting back your whole agenda at least a year. Considering your party had a comfortable majority and should easily have passed the bill, your inner circle has been considering what kind of discipline to impose on parliamentary rebels. “I’m telling you, police those fools!” shouts an angry Zainab May, the legislator who co-authored the proposed law with you. “No, I mean literally! Have the building security officers march around in full riot gear, looking every MP right in the eye! I dare any of my lily-livered colleagues to defy our will THEN! A strong and unified party means a strong and unified Wisteria and Surrounding Territories, whatever those opposition goons may blather.” Loyalist legislator Francis Woodheart has other ideas on what to do with the rebels. “We really don’t need anything quite so drastic, my friend. We can police ourselves! Just appoint me as ‘whip,’ and then I can use the power of persuasion on any party members who won’t fall in line. Don’t like the government’s budget proposal? That’s a shame, I really wanted to drop your name in Leader’s ear for that open cabinet post...” “Members of our legislature have ALWAYS voted according to their conscience,” bellows Cruella Solo, one of the dissenters. “That bill would have destroyed our way of life in Northwest Wisteria and Surrounding Territories, and we won’t allow that to happen! You snooty Wisteria and Surrounding Territories City scalawags keep flogging the same old dead horses, trying to bulldoze our culture, and we’re plum sick of it. There’ve gotta be more safeguards against partisan and sectional tyranny. We need to have local control of local issues, and institute a secret ballot in the legislature. Only then are we safe from the storm of wrath and repercussions - from you, from the donors, or from the voters.” “Uh, speaking of voters...” mutters Sandy Berman, the Minister of Domestic Affairs. “Remember them? You’re all so focused on getting your own agendas passed that you’ve forgotten why we’re here in the first place! The voters didn’t send us here to squabble like screaming children about who didn’t support someone’s National Moose Empowerment Act! They want us to get things done, and they’ll bring home anyone who’s not pulling their weight. Recall elections will make those rebels the local whipping boys. Forget secret ballots, we need to SPREAD the word who voted for what - the electorate will send us the right people if we just give them a chance.” “This word ‘whip’ has me thinking,” ponders your old friend and chief-of-staff Inigo Brutus, who is also the odds-on favorite to replace you one day. “What if we let everyone vote as usual, but every time some upstart so-called ‘statesman’ votes against your wishes, you ACTUALLY get to whip them! Live, in the public square! Wouldn’t that be a delicious spectacle? The sting of the lash, the sound of leather striking flesh... I can’t imagine anyone wanting to lead Wisteria and Surrounding Territories without it.” | |

![]() | The Magical Adventures of Leader You’re sat in the office gardens after a state banquet when it occurs to you that dessert tasted unusually earthy. Did that intern chef mess up the food? It’s been an hour or so, and as an unavoidable nausea begins to spread throughout your body, things are starting to feel a little... magical. “Everything will be alright!” rejoices a hallucination of the dead ethnobotanist Clarence McKanna, emerging from a tapestry of color in the grass. “Your intern chef enhanced your pudding with psilocybin mushrooms... but not to worry, psychoplastogenic compounds are tremendously useful in the treatment of various mental disorders and help us transcend our deepest existential fears. Look at that spoon dropping in slow motion. There is no spoon. There is no time. You should fund state of the art, holistic health centres where the masses can embrace their psychedelic awakenings free from the cold and clinical nature of the laboratory.” “My magic is not for the ill-prepared mind, Leader...” whispers a glistening cloud of rainbows, pouring abstract visual fragments of medical licenses and pipettes from the sky. “A bad experience can trigger all sorts of dormant, underlying mental disorders and you wouldn’t know until they hit you like a brick. I’m better off consumed exclusively in controlled scientific experiments, not your average backstreet in Wisteria and Surrounding Territories.” “Oh, that sounds terrifying,” cackles a mischievous crow, landing on your shoulder as the sky turns an ominous shade of red. “I bet you’re having a nightmare trip! Why don’t you send one of those nationwide emergency announcements so everyone knows just how dangerous these filthy, madness-inducing drugs are before you go completely insane? You can still save Wisteria and Surrounding Territories from total mass hysteria if you ban these devilish hallucinogens outright.” A gnome pops his head around a plant pot, which seems to be dancing in the gentle breeze. He skips towards you in hilarious fashion, before sitting on your knee. “The important thing here is that your chef gave you these drugs without your permission. The chef should be blamed and prosecuted, not the poor innocent drugs. From now on make sure that all foods and drinks are clearly labelled to declare and describe the effects of any physiological or psychologically affecting substances they contain, and then it’ll be nobody’s fault but your own when you eat a magic mushroom soufflé.” | |
