(2) PS A stripped-down text follows a comical parade of produce in bright underthings, demonstrating opposite concepts: "There's big underwear and little underwear, / dirty underwear and clean underwear..." Wearing nothing but underpants and a smile, the veggies feature black-dot eyes and stick-figure arms and legs. The contrast between each vegetable's rich hue and its vibrantly toned underwear adds energy to the minimalist compositions.
