A comics memoir that centers on the author's time spent working her way through art school at a straight-up, old-school, California diner during the late 1970s. Pond provides an engaging comics accounting of those pivotal years of jumping out into the world with both feet for the first time and discovering adulthood. This period in Pond's life found her elbow-deep in diner dishwater and up to her neck in co-workers and customers. Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll are here in all their rite-of-passage glory, but most of all Over Easy is a story of navigating the sometimes treacherous waters of forming an adult identity amidst work and peers.
