Synopses & Reviews
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.
Synopsis
Misanthropic, hilarious, and unexpectedly moving cartoons that strike a chord of recognition-whether we want to admit it or not-with the misfit in us all.
