Product info

<p>"Sharp and ambitious... If Pond's last book was a sitcom, <i>The Customer is Always Wrong</i> would be an HBO drama with a Sunday night time slot."--<i>Jezebel</i></p><p>"The sobering wake-up call to naive nostalgia... [<i>The Customer Is Always Wrong</i> offers] a look at the end of a wild ride, punctuated by deeply profound moments in a time that could swallow you whole."--<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></p><p>"A book filled with ghosts... An Oakland that doesn't exist anymore, a culture that doesn't exist anymore, and people that don't exist anymore, in more ways than one. "--<i>Hollywood Reporter</i></p><p>"A charming, loosely autobiographical story of Pond's early years."--<i>National Post Best of 2017</i></p><p>"Set in late 1970s Oakland, this comedic graphic novel from <i>Over Easy </i>author Pond follows a waitress named Madge whose career as a comic artist finally starts to take off."--<i>Entertainment Weekly</i></p><p>"Mimi Pond is a treasure, one we ignore at our own risk... Her latest book -- a thick, semi-autobiographical bildungsroman called <i>The Customer Is Always Wrong</i> -- might be her greatest work to date. It's a lengthy and detailed portrait of a young woman working at a restaurant in late-'70s Oakland and the cast of characters around her -- some of them shady, some of them lovable, and all of them compelling. Pond's hand is confident and her figure work hops balletically across the page; her facial acting is simple, but searing."--<i>Vulture</i></p>
