![]() ![]() Expressive potato faces make the action and emotions clear. Text in a smaller typeface alternates with graphic panels, keeping the action moving. The text, primarily boastful speech-bubble banter between Rot and Snot, also contains songs, cheers from an enthusiastic worm, and fun wordplay, including alliterative places names like Barrel Bottom Bog and the Moldy Mounds. That’s when the plot twists and twists again. When Rot and Snot are laughed out, Tot is still giggling. Rot declares he’s laughing so hard that he needs to pee his pants but then remembers he doesn’t wear pants. ![]() No one wins, and the third contest is a laugh-off. The second contest is Hot Potato Hill, where the brothers must roll down a hill after Tot. The first challenge, a potato sack race with shades of “The Tortoise and the Hare,” ends in a tie. Tot, their “usually super chipper” little sister, acts as the judge. It’s goofy-looking Rot Poe Tater, with an awesome unibrow and “surprisingly sturdy stick legs,” versus big brother Snot, a sleepy, upset couch potato with bedhead. One grumbly day, two mutant tater brothers vie to determine who is the greatest in the world. ![]()
