In case you don't know, Archer is an animated series on FX that spoofs the spy genre (self-)centering around none-too-bright not-so-secret agent Sterling Archer, his boss (who also happens to be his mom, with whom he has a, um, complicated relationship) and his coworkers. It's colorful, relentlessly and aggressively politically incorrect and often hilarious.
The companion book, which came out in conjunction with the 3rd season premiere of Archer last week and serves as a faux guide on how to be a super spy, certainly has its moments as well. It's written almost entirely from the perspective of Archer himself. The problem with that, though, is that there are no other characters to provide relief from Archer's sexism, racism, homophobia and general idiocy. On the plus side--the cocktail section provides actual recipes for drinks, so yay!
