...Bakers are invited to try an easy-to-make-and easier-to-eat-orange cake frosting; puppeteers are shown patterns for a cast of characters; TV fans are even given a plan for constructing a paper set with moving characters and a nonviolent script. As always, Scarry's freehand drawings and merry text provide the best arrangement since the dish ran away with the spoon...
...Future, dedicated to the Spirit of Future Retrogression, is installed at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, and a new suburban Cleveland shopping mall proudly displays his Featherstone-Kite Openwork Basket-Weave Mark Two Gentleman's Flying Machine with its unique autopilot FRED (Freehand Remembering Empirical Doodling system).

The movie is deep-dyed autobiography, Jutra's freehand account of his longer thoughts about life and love ("That which we give to a beloved, we give without relinquishing"), his swinging existence among Montreal's young bohemians, his secret fears (hoodlums with blazing guns mostly, a sort of Mafia of man's subconscious) and, more prominently, his delicious intimacy with a show-stopping mulatto model named Johanne, who plays herself...
