Belbum the giant can't find his pants. He asks his friends and then heads into town (wearing red polka-dotted boxer shorts) to purchase multiple pairs. At home, he puts his new pants away in a drawer--leading to a (somewhat predictable) twist. A large trim size and bold colors and lines suit the story line, and the digital art's details ramp up the humor and character development.
