(4) PS This version of the well-known song follows Old MacDonald as he frenetically ricochets around his farm checking on animals; in a surprise ending, he discovers a bear in the barn: "E-I-E-I...UH-OH!" The super-stylized, borderline-creepy aesthetic of Grimly's watercolors feels mismatched to the pastoral setting, but this MacDonald's frazzled expressions may get a few laughs. An endnote describes Grimly's farming roots; musical notation included.
