Delightful parody of the dominatrix of domesticity - the menu for a bris includes calamari tips in red sauce and cocktail wieners. A contest with the pope to turn water into wine. You get the idea ... a bit dated, but for those of us who grew up agog at her sheer chutzpah and over the top style it's 64 pages of giggles.

Bob's Burgers: Well Done by Loren Bouchard compiles numbers 5-8 into a single volume. If you're familiar with the TV show you will enjoy this volume. The parents play a smaller role but the stories can easily be imagined as episodes on TV.

I found fewer laugh out loud moments but many chuckle along moments, which matches how I feel about the show. My guess is that your reaction to the book will likely parallel your usual reaction to the show.

Definitely recommend to fans of the show, though I show more am not so sure this would make a good introduction to Bob's Burgers if one is unfamiliar.

I have a confession to make: I STILL haven't watched the tv show. I know, it's bad. Ever since I once got a single issue of the Bob's Burgers comics I've been told (and also I've really been meaning) to watch the series as I've enjoyed the comics.

I've heard that if you love the series, you will also love the comics. I can add to that: even if you haven't seen the series, you can still have a lot of fun with the comics. It contains show more sort of constant parts (like Tina's Erotic Friend Fiction and Gene's Musicals) together with some more random parts.

Looking forward to the next one!

At the moment of writing, all I know from Bob's Burgers is still coming from the few comics that I read. I know, I will watch the show some time when I have more time.

While featuring the same parts that were in the previous comics, the one page entries were not in every issue this time. And that despite the fact that I liked these best. They also switched the idea a little from Bob's burger ideas to foodtrucks and Linda trying to show more take a nice family picture. "Louise's Unsolved Mysteries & Curious Curiosities," "Tina's Erotic Friend Fiction," and "Gene's Rhymey Rhymes That Could One Day Be Songs" remain largely the same.

Overall it was enjoyable but not very memorable. I like to read these between other books. One little problem I had with my review copy is that the quality of especially Gene's part was not very good, which made it sometimes hard to read the text. But I'm sure this will be changed in the final version.
