Comic strip–style artwork, drawn in Prismacolor pencils then digitally enhanced, depicts the adventures of Mr. Particular, a young superhero with picky likes and dislikes; he must overcome his aversion to squishy mud in order to rescue his friend. Although the progression from one illustrated panel to the next isn't always straightforward, readers will easily find the humor in this super-silly tale of pickiness.
