3	''A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo'' is a 2018 book written by Jill Twiss, a writer for ''Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver'', as a {{Parody}} of ''Marlon Bundo's A Day in the Life of the Vice President'' and a TakeThat to Mike Pence's anti-LGBT views.
4
5	Marlon Bundo lives in the home of "Grampa", vice president Mike Pence. Marlon is lonely, but one morning after breakfast, he meets Wesley, a bespectacled brown rabbit. They spend the day together, and decide to get married because they never want to hop without each other again. But the stink bug, who is "In Charge and Important" (and bears a striking resemblance to Mike Pence), yells at them that boy rabbits can only marry girl rabbits. Will Marlon and Wesley get their happy ending?
6	----
7	!!Tropes:
8	* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Marlon wears a brightly-coloured bow tie, Wesley wears a pair of bright blue glasses, and the stink bug wears a necktie.
9	* BigFancyHouse: Marlon lives in a big house, due to "Grampa" being the Vice President.
10	* BigShutUp: After being voted out of office, the stink bug again tries to claim that boy bunnies cannot marry each other, only for the other animals to yell that he isn't in charge.
11	* ExpyCoexistence: Like his inspiration, Marlon's owner is shown to be vice president Mike Pence, but the stink bug serves as a more prominent parody of Pence and his anti-LGBT views.
12	* GayAesop: The book teaches children to stand up for same-gender couples and come together to vote out homophobic leaders.
13	* LoveAtFirstSight: Marlon and Wesley both fall for each other the minute they see each other.
14	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Like the real life Marlon Bundo, Marlon is named after Creator/MarlonBrando.
15	* SubvertedKidsShow: Played with. The book is perfectly child-friendly, but was written specifically to anger Mike Pence.
16	* TakeThat: The stink bug is a thinly-veiled Mike Pence, and the one mention of the real Pence in the book mentions he "isn't very fun."
