Last night John Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight” debuted a children’s book named “Like a Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo” about Vice President Pence’s bunny. Oliver is donating all proceeds of his book to the charity, the Trevor Project, which is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people ages 13-24.
In solidarity with John Oliver and Last Week Tonight, the writers of the Eckhartz Press children’s book, “Patty and the Stump”, have announced they will also donate 100% of the profits from their book to the Trevor Project.
Author Tim Clue said, “Like A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo”, “Patty and the Stump” is an actual book for children that addresses a real issue. It’s just a coincidence that our book was also motivated by a very bad person who was a shining example of the bad behavior addressed in the book.”
Added co-author Spike Manton, “If you think we’re just doing this now to ride the publicity coattails of John Oliver and his book, you’re absolutely right. But it’s not about money, we are thousands of dollars in the hole. It’s about leeching off the genius of John Oliver to do a good deed while spreading a great message about an important topic.”
