Over Easy by Mimi Pond
5.0
Update 12/18: Today at Grab the Lapels my guest is Mimi Pond. She's the author of the graphic novel Over Easy. Mimi Pond wrote the first episode of The Simpson's and has work published in places such as the New York Times and National Lampoon. In this interview, she adds great insight into Over Easy.
Because it's hard to get all the graphic novel images right where I want them on Goodreads, I'm going to give you the last paragraph and hope that you'll head over to Grab the Lapels to see the whole review!
Over Easy was a fascinating read. I always wanted to know what bitchy waitresses Martha and Helen would do next, and I wanted to see in what way the cooks were trying to be smooth poets and cool guys. Lazlo held the whole thing together with his whimsical personality and strange rules. I didn’t want to befriend these people, but I liked being the outsider peeking in. The characters are like dysfunctional roommates or relatives, giving both a sense of love and hatred to each other. Riding along with Margaret while she navigates her life made this graphic novel a page turner.
