BOB'S BURGERS: WELL DONE - "Various"

Containing art, writing, and even illustrations from some of the writers, artists and more creative fans of the hit FOX animated series "Bob's Burgers", this funny and well-done compendium of issues 5-8 of the popular comic book series will please any fan of the show (including me).  Between artists renderings of various covers from the different comics, as well as of the family, the ongoing stories include "Gene's Rhymey Rhymes That Could One Day Be Songs" (the Peter Pan tribute is the best), "Louise's Unsolved Mysteries and Curious Curiosities" (even though this collection only contains part one of the wonderful "X-Files" riff, leaving readers hanging!), and - by far the best - "Tina's Erotic Friend Fiction" which features Tina finally going after Jimmy Jr. in a "Romeo & Juliet" motif, as well as a wonderfully silly Casablanca parody that opens the book (if you're a big Tina fan, these will probably be your favorite parts, as well).  A quick, fun read to keep you going in between episodes, Bob's Burgers: Well Done is a very tasty collection featuring the Emmy-winning Belchers from one of the best (and funniest) animated series to ever hit the air.  ****
