Part two in the adventures of cat Fabian and dog Hondo has low-key charm. Just as Hondo ambles back in after his walk, Fabian leaps out into the yard. In McCarty's soft-focus pencil art, the comfortably rotund, friendly looking main characters perform similar actions in their respective locales. The narrative eventually comes full circle: Fabian heads into the house; Hondo heads out.
