''The Adventures of Picklock Holes'' is the first series of [[Sherlock Holmes]] parodies written by [[R. C. Lehmann]] under the parodic pseudonym of ''Cunnin Toil'' (approx. Conan Doyle) starring ''Picklock Holes'' as the detective and ''Potson'' as his sidekick. Published in [[Punch (London)|Punch]] magazine, between 1893 and 1894. Holes came back in another series (''Picky Back'') 10 years later between 1903-1904. Then a last story was published in 1918.
