Pigasso the painterly pig and Mootisse the artistic bull live across the street from each other. When a stylistic rivalry erupts, their friendship almost dissolves, until each realizes the value of their companionship. Each character and his surroundings are adroitly rendered in the style of the respective real-life artist, and masterworks are cleverly riffed in the striking gouache illustrations. A brief biography of each artist is included.
