Mayor Humdinger — Description
Art nine of a series of thirty

Nope,
This is not the dude from Monopoly.
Although his creators were probably inspired by him.
Some will ask, who is Mr. Hellinger?
If you're a parent or a grandparent of a child of nine years old or younger, you sure know this asshole.
After seven seasons, one hundred and sixty-seven episodes and never-ending merchandise of puppy characters toys,
We just wonder if Rich Uncle Pennybags wouldn't have swapped his black dress for a bluish one
And that he would have found a new sideline revenue in Chinese branded merchandise.

Spending money on a ton of toys of PAW Patrol to please our children is not everything.
We, victims and parents, know the opening song;
The name of the eight puppies (let's not forget about Everest and Tracker #fuckyeah )
And all those dumbass replicas from Ryder by heart
"No job is too big, no pup is too small!" #pleasestfuryder
Our brain will be forever marked.

But through all that,
When I listen to episode 2 of Season 4 for the fiftieth time (you know, the one in which Humdinger tries to steal the banquet during a giant pink octopus attack)
And that my little almost-three-year-old flower tells me "hu-hug daddy" before laying his head on my shoulder,
I am forgetting my adult-glooming and appreciate my umpteenth viewing.
