A sentiment I agree with!

Sidekick at last!

Greetings, citizens.  It is I, the BARK KNIGHT...and I have terrific news!  

Your streets have just become even safer, because I have found a suitable sidekick. 


Introducing my new partner, THE SMALL WONDER!

"HEY!"  Spunky sputtered.  "That's NOT the name we agreed on earlier!"

Heh heh heh...I know.  Come on, show us the rest of the costume.  Strike a heroic pose and give us your signature catchphrase.

"(Sigh.)  Fine...Holy Bacon Bits, Bark Knight!"

Nicely done, Small Wonder.  You're doing well. 

"I just hope we don't get slapped with any copyright infringements," Spunky muttered.  

And so our Caped Canines race off to protect the city and usher in a new era of peace and order for its citizens.  But how long will it last?  And is Spunky really stuck with the name "Small Wonder"?  The answers to these and many more questions will be revealed in the next episode of THE BARK KNIGHT. See you next time...same BARK-time, same BARK-channel!

In search of a sidekick, continued

Previously, on THE BARK KNIGHT...

And now, on today's episode of THE BARK KNIGHT...our hero's search for a suitable sidekick continues...

Greetings, citizens.  It is I, the Bark Knight...and I am here today with our first potential sidekick candidate, Patch Benjamin Dog.  Thanks for coming in, Patch.  

"T-thanks for inviting me for an interview."

All right, let's go through the qualifications of the job.  Are you available nights and weekends?

"Y-yes.  Yes I am."

And are you resourceful and justice-minded?

"I suppose..."

And are you brave?

"Er...No.  I don't really think so."

Hmm.  Well, unfortunately this may not be the right position for you.  Thank you for your interest, though.  Could you show the next applicant in, please?...

Hello, Carrots.

"Wow, hi, Droo--uh, I mean, Mr. Bark Knight, sir!  Thanks for considering me as your sidekick!  It's an honor!"

You're welcome.  Well, let's go through the list of qualifications.  Do you consider yourself brave, resourceful, and justice-minded?

"Oh, yes.  As Easter Bunny, I have to explore all sorts of dangerous terrain and use my brain to hide Easter eggs creatively.  And I make sure all the eggs contain the same amount of candy, so it's fair."

Wow, that sounds excellent!  And are you available nights and weekends?

"Um...right, about that.  Unfortunately, I'm currently training the next batch of E.B.I.T.'s, which is taking up a good amount of my time.  So I don't think I can commit to the sidekick position right now."

Aw...that's a shame.  Well, I appreciate your coming in anyway.  If there's someone else outside, could you send them in on your way out?

 Hello, Spunky.  

"Holy hero worship!  It's the BARK KNIGHT!"

..........

Wow.  I suddenly have a really good feeling about this final candidate, viewers...

Has our hero finally found the perfect sidekick candidate?  Will Spunky have objections to possibly wearing tights?  The answers to these and many more questions will be revealed in the next episode!  Same BARK-time, same BARK-channel!

Happy Independence Day!
