Review
I should explain that episode two of the Bubby series should not be read before episode one. As all of these episodes are short stories, the author takes no time to re-introduce the characters, which can result in the casual reader being a tad confused if they are read out of order. I was disappointed by the author's failure to develop the character of Bubby further in this episode. However, he does bring to the forefront several of episode one's secondary characters, which provides the groundwork for future episodes, while injecting the story with additional humor. While not my favorite of the five, Bubby II is a worthwhile lead-in to the remaining episodes. --Braden Erp
