It’s raining.

There’s nothing to do.

Ruben is bored.

But things start looking up when his grandmother gives him and his little brother some gum.

Gum is fun. There’s just one problem with gum—it tends to make a mess!

 

Uh-oh. . . .

“Working with a stripped-down palette of black, white, red and bubblegum pink, Cordell's (Mighty Casey) first solo effort evokes irrepressible boyhood with laughs throughout.”—Publishers Weekly

“Irresistible…graphically dynamic.”—San Francisco Chronicle
