Hairbutt the Hippo: Private Eye

A lighthearted, absurdist private-eye parody from the late 1990s, Hairbutt the Hippo: Private Eye is a single-issue comic published by Rat Race Comix. It follows its titular, rotund detective through a delightfully silly world of animal characters and hard-boiled clichés. Though brief, the series stands as a cult oddity, showcasing the creator's affection for genre tropes and deadpan animal humor.
