(3) PS Blue and Yellow, personified spheres with stick-figure limbs, argue pettily about which one is better. They collide with a dramatic "BOOM!"...and they're green, with lots of "cool stuff" to be together (tree, snake, etc.). Then Red arrives, encouraging readers to keep thinking about primary-color combinations--and cooperation. Sullivan's funny concept lesson (à la Lionni's Little Blue and Little Yellow) is bolstered by clean digital and Sharpie compositions.
