(3) K-3 The Mighty Giants, an all-animal soccer team, needs a replacement for their star player. They approach Biggie Bear, only to discover that bigger isn't necessarily better. The story's humor is enhanced by a subplot involving physically imposing Biggie's dorky zeal for stamp collecting. Chunky digitally rendered art, though less sophisticated in composition, calls to mind D. B. Johnson's work.
