Body found on Mount Arafune may be missing cartoonist Usui
MAEBASHI, Gunma Pref. (Kyodo) A body thought to be that of missing
cartoonist Yoshito Usui, the creator of "Crayon Shinchan," was found on
a mountain straddling Gunma and Nagano prefectures Saturday morning,
police said.
The body, which was found by a climber at the base of a steep cliff on
Mount Arafune, will be recovered Sunday to determine if it is that of
the 51-year-old cartoonist, who went missing Sept. 11, the police said.
Usui told his family he was going hiking on Mount Arafune that morning
and would return to his home in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture, by
evening, the police said. His family reported him missing the next day.
The Saitama, Gunma and Nagano prefectural police forces have been
conducting a joint search for him ever since.
Usui started drawing "Crayon Shinchan," the story of feisty
kindergartner Shinnosuke Nohara and his family in Kasukabe, in a comic
book published by Futabasha Publishers Ltd. in 1990. The popular cartoon
series was adapted for both television and film.
The city of Kasukabe issued a special residence card to the Nohara
family to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the municipality, and has
also been using Shinchan as a mascot for its child-rearing campaign
since April.

Only after death do we find the answers to the important questions.
For instance, what *is* the difference between Violet Blue and Blue
Violet? And why?

Crapulent: mix of 'crap' and 'corpulent' (fat).
So 'crapulent' means 'crapfat'. [joke]
