Illustrated by

Doctor René Bottom has it in for the Fart Squad. He has stolen all the underwear in Buttzville in order to harness their gaseous powers to create his own squad, leaving the now-commando townspeople caught in the crossfire and chafed. Five books in, and this pseudonymously authored series hasn't run out of gas for fans of below-the-belt humor.
