Trudy, an unassuming art store manager, transforms into an artist after an accidental potion intake, sparking praise, protests, and mysteries.

Trudy Troutman is an unassuming manager of an art supply store, and a creator of unassuming, sweet greeting cards. When Teaman experiences writer's block, Trudy brings home a potion from a local herbalist.

Whatever the cause, the result is an artistic soul set free. What could be better?
