(2) PS Adventures in Cartooning Jr. series. A brave (if scatterbrained) knight and his horse, Edward, go camping. The knight's misplaced teddy leads to an unfortunate case of mistaken identity in which he stumbles into a real bear's lair; sight gags and silliness abound. The knight has a remarkable range of emotions for someone wearing a helmet, and eggplant-shaped Edward is a great straight man (or horse). Endpapers offer amusing drawing tutorials.
