Corduroy

S01E20: Say Cheese

Mrs. Cho gives Lisa a disposable instant camera, and Lisa zestfully sneaks up on her friends in the apartment building, taking snapshots of them in embarrassing poses (such as Mom in curlers and face cream). When, to her displeasure, Corduroy starts snooping around in her cedar chest, Lisa realizes she hasn't been respecting other people's privacy, and starts asking friends' permission before taking their photographs.

Overview

Corduroy and his friend Lisa experience the world from the point-of-view of an urban child, with the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and tactile sensations of a big, bustling, vibrant city. Lisa and Corduroy’s world is one where diverse people and cultures live together in a contemporary community.
