Summary: Good Twisted Fun
Review: A guy named Mister. A woman who is called Aunt Mary, even though she doesn't seem to be anyone's Aunt. A nameless grotesque. Something that seems to be a bald, one-toothed infant, but is apparently a grown man, named Young Tim. This is the primary cast of Pete Sickman-Garner's "Hey, Mister" comic. The "Afterschool Special" is comprised of a bunch of seemingly unrelated short stories- the characters are pretty much the same in each story, but their situations vary....In one strip, Mister & Young Tim live together, in another, they don't even know each other.

I can't recall laughing so hard in quite some time. Sickman-Garner assaults the reader with more bizarre situations and characters than you can shake a stick at:

A sexually abused Dog....

Young Tim forced to impersonate a Chicken......

A "Hideous Mutant" who is unwittingly granted 3 wishes...

A lucid dreamer who sleeps for 50 years while dreaming of
playing strip poker with The Pope...

A million reasons why you should NOT start your own
business....

Sickman-Garner delivers a great package, packed with laughs, at a low price. A great buy for anyone who has ever wished someone would have "A lousy life..."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great indie comic
Review: Hey, I'm the first one to write a review on this!That, of course, can only mean this book isn't as popular as it's got every right to be.Mr. Sickman-Garner's work is depressing and wildly funny at the same time, and we all know that's a sure sign of greatness. My only complaint is that the often tiny lettering is something of a strain on the eyes, but that didn't keep me from reading the book several times.
