(4) K-3 "Once there was a dad who was really good at playing horsey." After he's lassoed by some horse rustlers, his kids must rescue him. The story is exhausting, but it works as a fantasy for both children (they're heroes!) and insecure dads (they're super-fun!). The art has the slightly retro look of Dan Yaccarino's, only with less breathing room.
