"Heavily based on Pond's life experiences, 'Over Easy' starts in 1978 during the death throes of the hippie era. Margaret, Pond's adorkable alter ego, has to drop out of the California College of Arts and Crafts for lack of finances. Next thing she knows, she's indulging her fantasies of being blue collar, working as a dishwasher at Imperial Cafe (a.k.a. Mama's Royal, still open to this day in Oakland). In this grease trap for frustrated artists and nascent punks, Margaret gets a freewheeling education in drugs, sex, punk rock, and slinging hash browns."
In the Los Angeles Times, Margaret Wappler talks with Mimi Pond about Pond's new graphic novel.
