Ranklechick and His Three-Legged Cat

by Rikki Simons, Tavisha Wolfgarth-Simons

Complete Black and White Edition. From voice actor (GIR from Invader ZIM) and graphic novelist (ShutterBox and Super Information Reality Check!) Rikki Simons and illustrator Tavisha (also ShutterBox and Reality Check!) comes Ranklechick and His Three-Legged Cat! Oogaly-glee. Obsessed with contacting the ghost of his brain-dead mother, Ranklechick invents an absurd collection of devices, like his Bliss Extractor, which he uses to try to get an autograph from the ghost of Charles Dickens, or his Sphere of Belligerence, a spacecraft propulsion system that literally insults physics. Life ticks on at a lunatic pace as poor Ranklechick flees from handshaking lessons, avoids being made into candy by the evil android, Nathan Burblepinch, gets repeatedly decapitated, suffers the company of oniomaniac children, suicidal brains, ham, and a grumpy three-legged cat for a best friend ... and all the while he continues to believe he is becoming a comic book character.

Still my favorite book after all these years. I stand by it. I cosplayed it once and I'll do it again. But maybe this time I'll be Nathaniel instead. Really dig into the lore. It's time.
