Dr. Slump Manga, volumes 15 and 16

Volume 15

Midori has a baby boy. They name him Turbo. Senbei's out to get presents from people but doesn't pay attention to Turbo who crawls away and gets hit by a spaceship. He's killed, but the aliens are able to bring him back. Changed. He now has psychic abilities. Midori thinks she's the one with the powers, though.

Turbo turns out to be able to fix car engines, do teleportation and loads of other things. Later Senbei goes off to see some strip-teasers and leaves Turbo with the Gatchans, Arale and Obotchaman. Turbo can also fly and even speak.

Turbo creates a robotic version of himself that goes crawling all over the world. Then there's a funny section with Turbo going to school.

Next is a story where they all to to a fancy restaurant and have no idea what to expect or how to act.

A ghost shows up at the house and it's a woman that wants to be brought back to life. Senbei figures he can go back in time and stop her from being killed in the first place.

The next game is about a baseball game between an American team and a team from Penguin Village. The village team takes a 1-0 lead in the first. The American team scores four runs in the top of the second. The game goes on and the Penguin Village team wins, as is to be expected.

Volume 16

Questions that Demand Answers is the first humorous section of this volume. Senbei goes shopping and things he finds a coffee shop that has waitresses wearing no clothes on the bottom part of their body. He ends up disappointed.

Tranpire, the female vampire from much earlier, makes an appearance. Midori comes home and catches Senbei and the vampire in a compromising position and she gets an immediate divorce, leaves, and Dr. Slump dies from getting hit in the head by a coconut.

Even reading that summary is confusing.

The vampire and her helper plan to take Senbei to Lord Enma, the judger of souls. Senbei ends up being brought back to life, though.

Next story has Senbei changed into a fly. Gatchan eats the morph gun, leaving Senbei a fly. Turbo will make a new gun, but in the meantime Arale goes to school as a fly.

The next story is the tale of a robot who wants Senbei to make for him a baby robot.

The 'author' goes into the future of Penguin Village, ten years in the future. The future ain't what it used to be.

It's Christmas and Senbei and the others have a talent show. Poop spinning and pulling down women's pants are just two of the wonderful events. Dr. Mashirito is still planning world domination but wants to start by blowing up Senbei.

The next story is about a contest for who is the strongest person in the world.
