Mike Hunt 2: Getting Stuffed - The Unnecessary Sequel Nobody Asked For But Everyone Deserves

Mike Hunt is back, and this time he is getting stuffed. Mike Hunt delivers babies, loves eating out, enjoys a good scissor, trains cocks, wets the bed, runs train, hates periods, loves cream pies, plays with drills, can get crusty like an old loaf of bread, and will see you next Tuesday. There is also something about a clam, which you should not call Mike Hunt. This is the second installment in what is apparently now a series, which means someone somewhere bought the first book and this escalation is entirely their fault. Mike Hunt is Brazilian, unique, and one in a million. He always wears good quality pads. He says you are welcome, and he always means it sincerely.

Getting Stuffed delivers more of the same cheerful cartoon wrongness that made the first book a deeply questionable purchasing decision for everyone involved. More pages. More Mike Hunt. More double entendres executed in the innocent visual language of a children's picture book, as if that framing makes any of this more acceptable. It does not. It makes everything measurably worse, which in this specific context is precisely the point and exactly what the target audience is looking for when they open this page.

• You finished the first Mike Hunt book and thought, I need significantly more of this
• You have ever said the phrase I will see you next Tuesday with a very specific knowing look
• You consider yourself a genuine connoisseur of content that is technically appropriate
• You are shopping for a gift and want the recipient to briefly question your judgment
• You believe strongly that sequels should escalate things rather than pull back

• You reported the first book to someone in an official capacity and are still awaiting a response
• You use the phrase this is not appropriate more than twice in an average week
• You share your opinions about acceptable humor with people who did not ask
• You are easily troubled by content that is technically not offensive in any documentable way
• You would like to speak with a manager about this specific product listing

• Bachelorette parties where someone already brought the first Mike Hunt book last time
• Baby showers for parents who have clearly already demonstrated questionable judgment
• White elephant exchanges where you are determined to escalate from your performance last year
• Divorce parties, because Mike Hunt wets the bed and the metaphor writes itself
• Any occasion where you need a gift that costs less than dinner but lands considerably harder
• Housewarming for the specific friend whose new home needs to be immediately christened with chaos

The honest pitch again, unchanged from the first volume: this costs a few dollars more than a greeting card that will be composted before the weekend is over. Unlike that card, this book will be read aloud to the room. Voices will absolutely be attempted. The page where Mike Hunt trains cocks will cause at least one person to physically leave the room to compose themselves privately. The final page, which cordially invites you to see Mike Hunt next Tuesday, will be photographed and texted to people who are not even present at the event.

You are purchasing a moment that costs almost nothing and produces a wildly disproportionate amount of social chaos for its price point. Brad Gosse wrote and illustrated this sequel with complete knowledge of exactly what he was doing and why, so as before, the full moral responsibility belongs entirely to him. He has made his peace with this. You should accept the book. It is genuinely the correct decision.
