Franny and Freddy Get Fried
is a cautionary tale about two kids who learn about the ill effects of sun exposure to their skin. Their skin cells, Eppie and Dermis, are ones that have to teach their human hosts what they know all too well. After Franny and Freddy arrive at the beach and start to fry, Eppie and Dermis send out pain vibes to convince the children to cover up, use sunscreen , and seek the shade.
