The Misfits

by Jon Rosen, Drew Barrymore (Foreword)

In a desperate attempt to introduce some spirituality into her life, Veronica sculpts her hair into the shape of a cathedral. Sabrina insists she wasn't "talking to herself," merely addressing the tiny conductor on top of her head. Gladys pauses during her window shopping to remember who she is. Armand hopes his hand-fashioned periscope will help him look beyond the troubled waters of his life.

These amusing, pathetic, ridiculous, and, at times, disturbingly lovable characters, illustrated in brilliant color and captioned tellingly by Rosen, make up an almanac of the extremes of the human condition. The Misfits is the perfect gift for anyone who's downtrodden, sees the slightly darker side of life, or just needs to be taken down a few pegs.

This was adorable and witty. I read it in ten minutes and laughed out loud four times. I wish it had page numbers.

An ugly little addition to my collection, a questionable recovery.
