My "better Bundo Bunny book" finally arrived.
Actually it's "A Day in the Life of Bundo Bunny". I ordered it the night John Oliver mentioned it on his show and it was originally set to ship within a couple days but demand was so much heavier than expected that it's been back ordered for a month.
It really is a sweet book for kids, the money goes to a good causes (The Trevor Project and Aids United), and it probably makes Mike Pence grind his teeth. It's win no matter how you look at it.
If you're not familiar with the book:

ast Week Tonight is getting the last laugh in its (perhaps one-sided) feud with Mike Pence. On Sunday, John Oliver announced that staff writer _Jill Twiss and illustrator E.G. Keller had penned a picture book that purposefully apes the Pence familys own childrens book about their bunny, Marlon Bundo. In a twist of expert trolling, Oliver just revealed that his teams book not only beat the Pence family book on the charts, but has also sold 180,000 copies alreadyjust days after its publication was announced. Whats more, the book isnt even available in bookstores yetonly Amazon.
Oliver joked about those amazing results in a Tuesday night interview with Seth Meyers. The Last Week book (titled Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Presents a Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo) is a direct send-up of the Pence familys own book, titled Marlon Bundos Day in the Life of the Vice President. While the Pence book is about Bundo following Vice President Mike Pence around for a day, the Oliver book is about Bundo falling in love with a boy bunny and getting marrieda direct response to Pences anti-L.G.B.T.Q. reputation. In addition, all proceeds of the Last Week Tonight book go to non-profit organizations the Trevor Project and AIDs United.
