Julian, banished to his room after refusing to take out the trash, complains of his mistreatment to imaginary superiors on an intergalactic mothership. Despite the injustices leveled against him, he ultimately decides to save the planet from annihilation by following through on his chore. Squiggly-lined black-and-white illustrations, including cartoon panels, accented with green help differentiate between reality and exaggeration.
