MF Day #61: Busto
Busto has got such a unique and funny design. He’s a walking jail cell with a goofy face on it. Now I find this idea to be really clever, but I can’t help be wonder how his body functions work. Whenever he eats or drinks something, does it go inside his stomach? Or is the jail cell is his stomach, and it just ends up in there? If that’s the case it’ll probably be a pretty messy prison for any criminals he catches.

Certainly, here's a transcript with dialogues in first-person perspective:
Boone: (Walking with Blossom in the park, enjoying the serene atmosphere) What a beautiful day it is, Blossom. The park is so peaceful.
Blossom: (Smiling) Yes, Boone, it's absolutely lovely. I adore these moments with you.
(Suddenly, an angry shout pierces the calm)
Major Nixel: (Furious, approaching us) You miserable Mixels!
Boone: (Determined, stepping forward) Enough is enough. I won't stand for this, Blossom.
Kuffs: (Arriving with Busto and Tiketz, firm and authoritative) Major Nixel, you're under arrest!
Busto: (Gently urging) Let's not make this harder than it needs to be. Come with us, Major Nixel.
Tiketz: (Revving up his wheels) We do police duties at maximum pace, you know.
(Major Nixel reluctantly submits to the MCPD Mixels' authority, and they begin the arrest)
Boone: (Relieved) Justice prevails, Blossom. We can continue our walk in peace now.
Blossom: (Grateful, taking Boone's hand) Indeed, Boone. Let's enjoy the rest of our day together.

Il busto in ricordo di Giovanni Descalzo in passeggiata a Sestri Levante.
In passeggiata a mare di Sestri, all’altezza dei Celeste, si trova un busto in memoria di uno dei personaggi pienotti della mia cittadina: il poeta Giovanni Descalzo.
Da quel punto domina tutta la Baia delle Favole nel punto dove la strada si chiama appunto Lungomare Descalzo.
