On his way to pick up a pizza for lunch with Mommy, young pig Pinky gets coated with snow that's fallen from a tree. Unaware of his appearance, Pinky soldiers on, puzzled by all the hubbub ("A walking snowman!"). It's a good, if limited, gag; Gorbachev's greater achievement is his art, which shows a snow-dappled neighborhood full of good-naturedly curious Richard Scarry–esque animals.
