On Monday, Llama eats cake. On Tuesday, he splits his dancing pants ("He was still full of cake"), which makes a sound that causes a black hole in the universe to tear open. By Friday the hole has swallowed everything...or has it? Riotous cartoonish art and the dopey-looking llama's lack of self-control are to thank for this absurdist gut buster.
