(3) PS Snail, a giant snail as big as a pony, is afraid of snail hunters, so he decides to find an owner. The boy he approaches is reluctant at first, but Snail soon has him convinced of the benefits, and they become fast friends. The naive, childlike, and graphically strong drawings on bright color fields match the oddball plot and deadpan delivery of this humorous tale of boy meets snail.
