The paint at the glue points was scratched off for better adhesion.
A small drop of white glue was set on these scratched off points and the dowels slid into place. The glue dot was pushed back and made a rear "fillet".
White glue dries clear. I didn't wipe off the excess behind the dowel, it only makes for a stronger joint.
After the white glue dried:
A toothpick tip was dipped in some medium CA glue and touched to the sides of the dowel joint.
That black band on the upper body was already releasing from the surface.
It was pulled up and replaced with a strip of the (old reliable) Contact paper, blackboard material.
