Volume 2 Bonuses

Dr. Slump Ho-yo-yo Resume (Volume 4)

Volume 4 features the Penguin Village ID cards of various characters of the series. (Note that Arale's features a mistranslation: it should read "3rd of Flying Fish, 1967", which is part of her cover story; she was completed on the same date in 1980. Her age being given as "14", however, is a mistake on Akira Toriyama's part, perhaps because he had not yet decided which sea-creature corresponded to each month; she should still be "13" as of April 1st, 1981.) There is also 2 bonus heads and a fault finder of the fourth volume's cover which has 10 differences and also serves as a "Color me" page. .
