Description:
Candy canes glisten, green frosted hills sparkle, and battered steel weapons glint in the setting sun. Tensions flare on both sides of the battlefield. Gumdrops glare with hatred at the Chocolates.Chocolates wait with confidence, eager to slaughter their opponents. High above in the crimson sky, candy corn vultures circle in anticipation of the devastation to come. On a faraway hill, bright white eyes wait. They wait …“Goobees” explores how a candy named Goobees is made.It juxtaposes colorful candy imagery against a dark, macabre story. The candy imagery provokes happiness and fun, but the death-stricken land contradicts the playful imagery.
