After Bert's pigs run away (The Great Pig Escape), the farmer receives a postcard suggesting that the porkers have headed south. Vacationing in Florida with his wife, Bert intends to bring home the bacon but remains humorously oblivious to the porcine cabdrivers, sunbathers, and rock musicians hiding in plain sight in the loosely composed ink drawings, splashed with bright watercolors.
