I always saw it as being about the struggles people in their 20s have with identity and maturity and decision-making.ĭid you always have a sense of where one book would end and the other would begin? She’s interesting but she’s only really interesting because she’s interested in this drama playing out before her. I always perceived the story to be about all those people, not just Madge. When did the idea to open up this world come about? While Madge was at the center of Over Easy, The Customer Is Always Wrong occasionally veers into the stories that coincide with hers. It is difficult for me to have the perspective to view it otherwise. It was never my intention for this to be anything other than one continuous story. How did you view the relationship between the two books, as far as telling one story over the course of both books versus each one standing on its own? The Customer Is Always Wrong is a followup to your earlier Over Easy. In advance of that, I asked her some questions about revisiting early-80s Oakland, the emotional range of The Customer Is Always Wrong, and more. Pond will be in conversation with Todd Oldham at Fishs Eddy - which has also released a line of items inspired by her work - on Wednesday, September 6. Pond neatly captures a host of facets of human experience, from protagonist Madge’s creative evolution to the shifting dynamics of her workplace to a series of harrowing drug-fueled misadventures.
Inspired by Pond’s own experiences as a young artist working in an Oakland restaurant in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Customer Is Always Wrong, the latest graphic novel from Mimi Pond, follows her 2014 book Over Easy.
