This is one of my favorite issues of Sunnyville Stories. Not just for the great Queen tribute on the cover, but also for the content of the issue. Sunnyville is usally sort of an idellic world, but every now and again it takes on serious issues. In this story, we see Rusty getting a bad grade on a math test. A simple enough concept, but then his mother finds out and this is where the story takes a serious turn.
We are introduced to the character of Rusty's mother and she is not the ideal cartoon mom, she is a character with depth as well as flaws. I don't want to spoil to much of the plot, but I will highly reccommend this issue to people as sort of a turning point in Sunnyville Stories. Many of the beginning issues set up this world and now we are beginning to see the depth and complexity that makes this one of the great indie comics out there.
