Un nuevo cómic de Policán lleno de chistes malísimos… ¡y tronchantes! En esta entrega, los enemigos de Policán le tienden una trampa para meterle en la cárcel. El pobre Policán se deprime: ni humano ni perruno, ¡es un inadaptado! Por suerte, ahí están sus amigos para recordarle que los inadaptados… ¡MOLAN!

El nuevo tebeo de Jorge y Berto estará, una vez más, inspirado por un libraco tocho que les ha hecho leer su profe: El señor de las moscas. ¿El argumento? El astuto gato Perico ha vuelto a escaparse de la cárcel. Pero en esta ocasión lo ha hecho por un buen motivo: Cerdapio y sus secuaces Troncho y Pizco, tres antiguos colegas de los Bicho Scouts, quieren vengarse de él. Y pretenden hacerlo atacando a quien más quiere Perico: Periquillo, su hijo... Es decir, su clon. Perico huye en un intento desesperado de poner a Periquillo a salvo; pero el astuto Cerdapio le pisa los talones, montado en su robo-brontosaurio gigante con rayos mortíferos de la muerte. Menos mal que los amigos de Periquillo, encabezados por Policán, acuden al rescate. Y así comenzará una estremecedora aventura en la que Perico está a punto (¡pero solo a punto!) de volverse bueno, llena de Flip-O-Ramas, superheroicidades y chistes pero que muy malos.… (mais)
