Simple illustrations are the ideal complement to the understated humor (though nonetheless laugh-out-loud tone) of the text.

Do you think things would be better if you were in charge? Duck thinks he can do a better job than Farmer Brown, but once in power he soon tires of the duties and responsibilities of leadership.
