Maru, the Lonely Emperor

Not That Mike The Other Mike3 Comments

It’s time for the Doll Festival, and Emperor Maru takes his place on the royal throne. But who will be his empress? Hana and Kitten Miri don’t seem to want the job.

Maru, the famous cat, sits atop a display of Japanese dolls representing the imperial court.

Like many emperors, Maru is a tad eccentric. All hail his royal highness, King Baghead!

You must now say “bi-i-i-i-i-ig stretch!”

I mean, just look at this junk! It’s all chewed up and broken, and it just sits there! Mrs. Nussmeyer’s dog across the street has one of those Internet-enabled, self-throwing SmartBones! Why can’t I have one of those, huh?

I guess she just loves him more, that’s all.
