The physical test could not have come at a worse time for Bogo. Over the past few months, he had been working closely with Mayor McHorn, hammering out details for a surprisingly complex set of new laws the rhino had in mind— the water buffalo learned that, apparently, McHorn had earned a law degree in his free time, and picked up a pretty dire snacking habit during exam season, which explained quite a bit.

One of the mayor's favorite supporters, Gideon's Bakery, continued to cater every meeting McHorn had with the police chief, and Bogo had done his damnedest to resist temptation, and for the first month, he was successful. He always avoided sweets and over-sugared, fatty bakery products on the job, but then McHorn stumbled across a long-repressed weakness; jelly-filled donuts. Bogo had denied himself many chances to indulge and let loose, and this proved to be one too many. He ate them every time McHorn offered them, and it was beginning to show.

Bogo's hefty arms and chest retained most of their shape, but those donuts were otherwise going straight to his hips and waist.
