I still haven't seen the show, my apologies, but I read the first issue of Bob's Burgers some time ago when it came with one of the Humble Bundles. Since I quite liked the first one, I thought why not read the rest of volume 1 as well.

Every issue is divided in five parts, one for every family member. They include various takes on fanfiction, an unsolved mystery and a musical as well as my personal favourites: Burger Ideas and 'useful' inventions. Because these are all cramped into each issue, all the stories end up being very short, but entertaining none the less.

I can't compare it to the series, but I do plan to watch it some time.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!… (more)

It's not often that I read comics. In fact, it's probably been at least fifteen years. Not that that matters, because I will happily watch, read, or listen to anything Bob's Burgers-related. That silly cartoon is one of my favorite shows, and the first volume of its comic does not disappoint.

Each character gets their own story, and everything is very true to the show. I particularly enjoyed Tina's Erotic Friend Fictions, mostly because Tina is my favorite character and I've always wondered what she has hidden away in those journals of hers...

The first one may have been the best. I nearly fell out of my bed when I read the following exchange:

"What's your name, stud?"
"Horse Jimmy Jr."

Because of course Tina would write about herself and Jimmy Jr. as horses. Of course.

There's not a lot to say about this one, aside from highly recommending it to any fan of the show.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the free copy.
