One Potato Review

From an iconic illustrator of other people’s work, here’s a pretty thin premise that manages to nevertheless acquire some momentum from its improvisatory flourishes. Mrs. Armitage is ever the can-do senior citizen, piece-by-dinghy-by-umbrella-by-avocado-burger assembling the perfect little outpost before she (with her dog) gets to ride the big wave. Is there a metaphor here for retirement? Never mind. A knock on complacence for any age.
