Illustrated by
Kevin Hawkes.
This ode to giggle-inducing body parts focuses on animal rears. A bear holding a duck exhibits a "duck tail," the duck finds itself squished by a "moose caboose," etc., until the ensuing animal tower, rendered by Hawkes in suitably immodest acrylics, is threatened by a "bumblebee bum!" There's not much to the story, but comedian Black has great timing.
