The narrative is chiefly concerned with Margaret’s attempts to escape the drudgery and despair of her surroundings without being. Mind you, Madge’s self-medicated supporting cast probably see aliens and monsters all the time. Otherwise, it’s somewhat removed from our usual fare. Its justification for being reviewed here is that it’s a graphic novel. Madge is right back at the Imperial with its great coffee and depraved cast, where things only get worse for her adopted greasy spoon family while her career as a cartoonist starts to take off. The Customer is Always Wrong, Mimi Pond’s sequel to the critically lauded Over Easy, is a semi-autobiographical account of Margaret an inspiring comic book artist and waitress at the Imperial diner, Oakland. Published at the end of summer, 2017, The Customer is Always Wrong is the second in a series of semi-autobiographical memoirs. Told in the same brash yet earnest style as her previous memoir Over Easy, Pond's storytelling gifts have never been stronger than in this epic, comedic, standalone graphic novel. Outrageous and loving tributes and takedowns of her co-workers and satellites of the Imperial Cafe create a snapshot of a time in Madge's life where she encounters who she is, and who she is not. The Customer is Always Wrong by Mimi Pond Hardcover 29.95 Hardcover 29.95 eBook 10. Oakland in the late seventies is a cheap and quirky haven for eccentrics and Mimi Pond folds the tales of the fascinating sleaze-ball characters that surround young Madge into her workaday waitressing life. The Customer is Always Wrong is the saga of a young na ve artist named Madge working in a restaurant of charming drunks, junkies, thieves, and creeps. Mimi Pond's graphic memoir 'The Customer is Always Wrong' is available now via Drawn and Quarterly.
