The splendor of CB International's Creek Bend returns with artist/writer Rock Baker's latest, fun-filled compilation, Cartoon Cuties: Picture Plays.
Picture Plays' contents stem from the many Static-Mation shorts that Baker and his honorable friend, Mark Holmes, produced for YouTube. That makes this edition a sort of "best of" from that mirthful series, establishing a cute queue that gives readers a lovely glimpse into the life and times of Creek Bend's amiable Annies.
There are eight segments in all for this volume, which display an array of delightful scenarios, including a couple of sweet, beach sojourns; goofy, movie hijinks; a picnic-intruding bear; a Lonely Hearts blunder; a birthday-cake mishap; a chase for a windswept hat; and last but not least, a daring rescue. Baker's most prominent Annies are on board, with pleasing appearances from Crissy, Minerva, Daisy, Yvette, the Baxter Sisters and more.
Baker's creation is holding its own in the publishing world, gaining more fans with each issue. His idyllic mythology offers a wholesome yet highly imaginative form of escapism. Give Cartoon Cuties a chance (any volume, really, though Picture Plays is a great way to start), and you'll find the colorful shenanigans to be the perfect antidote for any blah day.
