The creator of Goodnight Goon and The Runaway Mummy pulls from his mad-scientist brain a kid so attracted to slime, muck, dirt, and yuck he could only be called Icky Ricky. And uh-oh! Icky Ricky is in a mess. Why? Well, you see . . .
┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а HeтАЩs digging a hole to China, in his backyard.
┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а He found a free toilet in someoneтАЩs garbage. (Score!)
┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а He fell into a pigpen . . . with a muddy mega-pig.
┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а Icky Ricky is up to his eyeballs in troubleтАФand ick!
