(4) K-3 Moody seal Splash isn't keen on embracing the day: "Don't bother rising today, sun." When the sun floats over to Splash's iceberg, Splash realizes he must return it to the sky. This baldly allegorical tale is slightly less overblown than its predecessor, Bloom! Van Lieshout's use of yellow, representing the sun and its force, is effective in the otherwise cool-colored art.
