Small dog Emerson has a big bark. When he scares off the neighbor's cat, Kissy, his girl commands, "No more barking!" Fluid lines capture this winsome little dog's energy and subsequent suffering, and varying perspectives and page layouts lead audiences to anticipate the moment when Emerson will let out those pent-up barks. Fortunately, the trigger is Kissy stirring in the bushes (with a surprise).
