"We interrupt Saturday morning cartoons for a brief PSA for safety against monsters with your ol' pal Jimmy!" The old music started playing as an animated man walked onto the screen happily, akin to a Betty boop sort of style of animation, he was wearing a striped suit, with curly short hair, gloves, tap shoes and a small hat. He looked to the screen and smiled, "Well hello!" he greeted cheerily, turning to face the viewers, "Howdy to all of you ,and a goooooooood morning! In sunny Spring town, like it always should be, how are my favourite people?"
"Tired" a bored sounding teenager smiled as his little brother giggled at his response, soon Jimmy smiled brightly, "Well that's just dandy!" a Dora the explorer moment meant for audience participation "Now I've come to warn y'all about those icky monsters! I mean look at them," Animated horrifying monsters came on screen, roaring and screeching, Jimmy shook his head and chased them away with his cane, "go on get out! Don't you come here and hiss at me!" Once they were gone he wiped the sweat off his forehead and grinned "That'll teach 'em !" he smiled to the viewer, "But what do you do when you're faced with a monster? Well Ol Jimmy is gonna tell you! First," he pulled out a large red book with 'Jimmy's Guide to Monsters' written on the front in gold, the two boys watching had the book, and so did everyone in town since they'd all been given the book on their fifth birthday, "you gotta figure out what the heck it is, once you've done that, you Gotta call trusty Bucks department and they'll come straight away," trusty Buck being Buck Brent, the burly strong and tall head of the monster confinement and condemnation department "but you Gotta make sure you don't get bitten or hurt, so throw salt at it, burn it! What ever hurts the creature! But, if you do get bitten, at least ol' Buck's team will fix you right up! And take the bad, bad monster away-now back to CARTOONS!" Jimmy grinned and the curtains closed on the PSA. As the younger brother -Cal- went back to happily watching T.V the older one, Johnny, sighed and rolled his eyes, looking back to his comic, in their perfectly normal house, in their perfectly normal street, in this perfectly normal town of Spring, kept safe for summer, Autumn and winter to pass easy.
