Okie Dokie Donuts — A Graphic Novel About Donuts

Who said print was dead? Well, the blogs did…but that’s besides the point. When there’s good literature out there, you’re hard pressed to find a better way to consume it than its hardbound manifestation. Today, we’re looking at Chris Eliopoulos’ 48-page hardback graphic novel — Okie Dokie Donuts.

The novel explores the existence of Big Mama! Okie Dokie Donuts, the “best little donut shop in town!” with donuts infused with her secret ingredient — love. Yes, it’s one of those children’s novel, but the book also explores the life and times of the establishment’s “large and lovely heroine,” and generally exploits a lot of the goodness that comes along with good baking, good food and good company. Will Okie Dokie Donuts reach the highest levels of pastry powerhouses? ($9.95 @ Amazon)
