Translated by Anna Celada.
After a mom gives her two sons five cherries apiece, they compare notes on what to do with them: "I'll give my super cannons super cherry ammunition! / And I'll make a super cherry pie." It's a droll (if over-extended) premise, and dynamic illustrations full of visible brushstrokes and colorful smears reflect the brotherly drama; too bad it's frequently hard to tell the brothers apart.
