'Hiccups: Fun Stories' by with stories and art by Miguel Martinez-Joffre is a graphic novel full of fun stories.
In different stories featuring pairs of friends, we meet characters like Sheriff Rattatan and Deputy Pancho on the case of the missing nacho. Luz and Sato are a young witch and her ghost dog finding a missing ingredient for Luz to make a love potion.
These all feel like decent pilot ideas for cartoons and work fine for kids comics. The nacho story ran a bit too long for me, but the stories and art would be a fun read for kids.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Action Lab Entertainment, and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!
Hiccups is a compilation of 4 short stores with unrelated characters. Each mini-story involves a duo--these duos range from a deputy and sheriff to a boy and his friend who is a hippo alien.
Parts of the stories were cute and funny, but overall I was just confused. Whos is the audience for this graphic novel? The tone was pretty juvenile, but some of the jokes and the context would make sense for a much older audience. But that being said, I don't think many teens or young adults would enjoy this a ton since it does read so young.
I think the story about the sheriff and deputy was the best one-- it reminded me some of Spongebob and Patrick which was a nice blast from the past for me.
So while I did enjoy that story for the most part, I would say that overall this just wasn't for me. I don't think there's anything particularly bad about it-- I just didn't personally enjoy it.
If you like silly cartoons and think this might work for you, I would definitely recommend you check it out!
