This is, and somebody please correct me if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m wrong, the funniest  book you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re likely to find. I could really cut and paste the reviews for  all issues of Hickee, with a few minor changes for actual stories, and  leave it at that. Putting out a book that makes me laugh out loud more  than a few times is an impressive enough achievement, putting out  multiple books that do that is \u00c2\u00a0 at this point. OK,  fine, so it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s funny. What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in this particular issue that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get you to  check it out? There are a number of short piece by Nathan Stapley,  including Depressed Pitcher, Football Players, Good Game, and Pee Wee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.  There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Joop Joop by Razmig Mavlian, in which we get to see what  happens when all the wishes of a small female child come true. Or maybe  you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d prefer Getting Creamed by Joe White, an epic adventure of a farmer  trying to milk his cow. Perhaps Gladiating by Scott Campbell, because  somebody has to root for the guy with a net as his weapon. Not convinced  yet? How about The Anna Nicole Smith Board Game by Vamberto Maduro  (what, too soon?), a wonderful guide of her path to fame, fortune and  early death. And, as always, Graham Annable raises the bar for funny  with his piece, Frank\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Big Hand, in which a losing poker player finally  has enough. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cheap at $2.95, that cover could fold out into a board  game if you wanted to buy two copies and wreck the other one, and I did  mention the part about all the laughing, right?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\".https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/hickee32.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Hickee Volume 3 #3 Are you somebody who likes to laugh while reading comics?
