Minor imagines ENORMOUS, GIGANTIC, and COLOSSAL pumpkins, placing each in a signature American scene (e.g., a MIGHTY pumpkin on Mount Rushmore) for geographical literacy and juxtapositional fun. The artist's proven talent for classic landscapes here gets a wink with the STUPENDOUS jack-o'-lanterns plomping themselves down like they own the place. Facts about each place depicted are appended.
