Mike Hum Burns Your Eyes: An Adult Parody Book About Hot Sauce That Is About Hot Sauce

Mike Hum is a bottle of hot sauce. He loves to shoot, always scores, loves to blow, gives big birthday surprises, and if you are not careful, Mike Hum burns your eyes. He has chunky chowder. Fresh cream always flows. He loves to blast with massive payloads. Mike Hum can be spunky, and with too much alcohol he will taste funky. He likes you shaved. He likes to rest in deep dark caves. And if you want more of Mike Hum, just give his handle a jiggle. This is a book about a condiment. A hot sauce condiment. Named Mike Hum. The author would like that on the record.

Where Mike Hunt was a fisherman and Mike Hum is a bottle of hot sauce, Brad Gosse has now established that the Mike name format is a renewable creative resource he intends to exploit indefinitely. Mike Hum Burns Your Eyes is illustrated in a looser, goofier style than the Hunt books, which somehow makes the whole thing worse in the best possible way. The chunky chowder page alone justified the entire production budget. We are not going to explain the chunky chowder page.
