Illustrated by
Stephen Gilpin.
Utilizing an elixir called "the Turbo Taco," the Fart Squad "farts [their] way back in time" to a sixteenth-century Scottish castle to retrieve the Golden Butt Scratcher, the only cure for Buttzville's contagious-itch epidemic. Full of the usual scatological puns and caricature illustrations series fans expect, but this volume's contorted time-travel plot comes across like a (less-clever) Time Warp Trio knockoff.
