PS
Dapper Roach is fancy and tidy. Chubby Rat is smelly and messy. The two are great friends, but when their differences become annoying, a little time apart helps them remember what they like about each other. This simple tale of opposites attracting is well told but uneventful. Engaging art tagged with spray paint splotches has a hip, urban feel.
