Gunner, Football Hero

(4) K-3 "Too short and too round" to be a typical quarterback, Gunner nevertheless makes third-string QB for his PeeWee team. He warms the bench until the team's championship game, during which he improbably throws for two touchdowns. Though the team loses, Gunner is still a hero. Loose-lined watercolors in autumnal hues convey a sense of movement, but figures are sometimes rendered inconsistently.
