(2) K-3 Disgruntled X incites the other letters to question the authority of alphabetical sequence. They then vote on whether to create a new order. Czekaj's block letters feature appropriate attributes (e.g., H wears a hardhat and high heels, Z sports a zipper). The eclectic design mixes regular typesetting with word balloons and keeps the pace lively with full spreads, inset boxes, and panels.
