Hickee

Hickee #Vol. 1, #1

by Graham Annable, Scott C.

What started out loosely as a group of friends hanging around in San Francisco coffee shops on Sunday afternoons, Hickee has become a major contributor to the underground comics scene. Initiated by Grickle creator Graham Annable, he knew that the humorous talents of this gang could find a larger audience through comics. Hickee is the vehicle that ties all their Sunday afternoon sessions together -- stories that emerge from doodles or from musings about life -- resulting in a raw comic book. No censoring, no test audience, and no laugh track. Made to entertain themselves, Hickee will undoubtedly draw you into their world and provide lots of laughs along the way. One of the most exciting new anthologies today!

Not as funny as I had hoped, it definitely hits the creators' intended mark: weird, alternative humor comics. Mostly I read it for Scott Campbell's contributions and there weren't enough of them.

Nope. Picked this one off the Friends of the Library free cart.

At first I couldn't tell what the heck this book was about. But as you get into it, you realize that each comic is essentially a stand-alone. Many funny gags. Some fall flat, most are interesting.
