Just a little higher!
Hickory Hippo: The children’s storybook that Leanne and I have been working on is being printed as we speak! It’s the first in the ongoing adventures of a little hippo who finds adventure helping others– from walking talking snowmen, to the cats of Catlantis!
If you have placed an order, or are interested in a cute gift item for any kids in your family or life, then please check it out and spread the word. Unless you hate hippos or have Goth children, then this is the perfect gift for Christmas in the northern hemisphere as this is a Winter Snowman adventure.
And please, like our Hickory Hippo page on Facebook, and Hickory Hippo on Twitter.
And here’s one of the stills I took from Return of the Jedi that helped inspire today’s strip. I just think it’s funny on its own.
Thanks, as ever, for reading Blue Milk Special and we’ll see you back on Friday!
I can picture Chewie holding up a pair of empty boots, with an “Oh Shit” look on his face… 😉
Want Hippo book, will add it to the list. 🙂
Yikes — I hope no actual blood was used in the making of this comic! Looks suitably painful for poor Lando.
I have someone of the proper age in mind for Mr. Hippo. Hopefully he’ll enjoy it for Christmas.
Cool picture of Chewy. My long-haired brown cat makes that pose and pretty much that face sometimes.
Woop, my little sister came home from summercamp today and had bought me two old power of the force/shadows of the empire line action figures from my childhood! ^^
Deathstar Gunner and “Rambo Chewie” as I call him :3
I’ve always wanted a Chewbacca figure, and she went overkill. Still, love it x3
Makes me wonder how your LRW is going? I haven’t checked up on it for a long time, to my great shame 😉
It’s doing fine! It has a Chewy in it now, too. And the next few ones coming up might have been more than a little inspired by a certain BMS character… 😀
Yeah? Looking at the still now. How exactly did Han manage to slide off or fall right there and catch himself with his toes? Found video on YouTube comparing 1983 to 2011 Blu-Ray. If you freeze it when Chewie grabs Han’s feet you can see that they added cords that he must have gotten tangled up in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcLAOcutuxs
Han is so awesome he defeated the famed Boba Fett with one hit while mostly blind, so catching himself with his toes should be nothing to him! (Which would also imply he knows exactly where he’s aiming that blaster)
