Analytical and set-in-his-ways Badger is taken aback when jolly and easygoing Skunk rings the doorbell to announce he's Badger's new roommate. (Badger may have been ignoring his landlord Aunt Lula's letters...) But as Badger begrudgingly opens up his home -- and heart -- to Skunk and his unconventional ways, the two characters are irrevocably changed by one another, establishing an odd-couple friendship that is timeless and real.
