Bernard is one of the more innocent lifeguard characters among the staff of my fictional City Park Pool, or so it seems. If Thomas is set up to do something, Bernard is usually at the forefront of the scheme, while hiding behind a cartoon panel somewhere. Thomas probably didn’t realize that this was a setup, but he was quickly convinced after Ellen yelled at him for his brilliant idea. Or was that Bernard’s brilliant idea? We may never know.
It is true that pumpkins float in the water. Because of this, the pool where I work has an event called the “Pumpkin Splash” every October with lots of little pumpkins floating in the water. However, putting anything else in the pool this season is probably a bad idea. We already have lots of high school swim teams coming in, so we barely have time to squeegee!

AuthorIan Johnson was born with a crazy cartoon character perspective on the real world. “Suits and Guarders” is loosely based on his life as a lifeguard and swim instructor at a local pool. Any resemblance of characters in this work to persons, drawn or imagined, is purely coincidental. Archives
