Illustrated by
Patrick McDonnell.
Unable to shake the skunk that's tailing him, the narrator crawls down a manhole and establishes a new life in a new part of the city. Before long, though, the narrator searches for the skunk to "make sure he does not follow me again." Graceful and simple cartoonlike illustrations match the deadpan text's offbeat humor.
