''Pichenettes'' (translated in English as ''The Hoodoodad'') is a 1996 comic book by Creator/LewisTrondheim. It is the second album of ''ComicBook/TheSpiffyAdventuresOfMcConey'' series.

Lapinot arrives in the big city. He sees a tramp who tries to commit suicide. In order to convince him not to do so, he accepts a stone that is cursed according to the tramp.

----
!!''Pichenettes'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* BungledSuicide: The tramp tries to commit suicide three times, but it always fails (the pond that he throws himself into is not deep enough; the traffic light turns red when he tries to get run over; his jacket is held by a nail when he jumps from a bridge).
* Ruritania: The cursed stone comes from Eastern Svalonia, in Central Europe.
* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: Lapinot talks to the tramp to convince him not to commit suicide.
