Klappentext

In this early epic of the hilarious and politically correct Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Freewheelin' Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy skip out on their rent and decide to cool it down Mexico way where they are chased off the beach, encounter a Mexican mystic, lose all their money, get thrown into jail, escape into an ancient underground labyrinth, and wind up on a secret poppy farm run by the U.S. military -- you know, a typical tourist itinerary. (Oh, did we say "politically correct"? Just kidding!) Plus: Fat Freddy's Cat stars in solo adventures, including the mini-epic, "I Led Nine Lives."--Publisher provided description
