A frog relaxes on a rock: "AAHH!" It's caught by a kid with a jar: "AH HA!" thinks the kid's dog. These phrases alternate throughout the good-naturedly persecution-driven story, during which the beleaguered amphibian fends off various animal predators. This follow-up to Good News, Bad News is even more textually minimalist, its cartoony art just as keenly composed.
