A.K.A #[nn]

Three kids stride confidently down a city street in this charming 2005 Epsilon album from Chris Deutsch — a curly-haired kid in an orange hoodie, a long-haired blonde sticking out her tongue, and a quieter blond holding a steaming cup, with a small orange creature scampering along at their feet. The subtitle *Überraschung!* ("Surprise!") hints at something unexpected ahead for this lively trio. Deutsch's clean, expressive linework and warm colors give the whole scene an inviting, slice-of-life energy that's hard to resist.
