A young womans art career begins to lift off as those around her succumb to addiction and alcoholismThe Customer is Always Wrong is the saga of a young nave artist named Madge working in a restaurant of charming drunks, junkies, thieves, and creeps. Oakland in the late seventies is a cheap and quirky haven for eccentrics and Mimi Pond folds the tales of the fascinating sleazeball characters that surround young Madge into her workaday waitressing life. Outrageous and loving tributes and takedowns of her coworkers and satellites of the Imperial Cafe create a snapshot of a time in Madges life where she encounters who she is, and who she is not.Told in the same brash yet earnest style as her previous memoir Over Easy, Ponds storytelling gifts have never been stronger than in this epic, comedic, standalone 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.
