A very grumpy Smudge has a private errand to run and doesn't want Piggie following him. Piggie persists, and soon all their friends tag along to buy, as it turns out, new underwear. The illustrations--doodles on looseleaf notebook pages--are a hoot, and the dialogue-bubble text gives personality to these simplest of pictures.
