Venerable cartoonist Mimi Pond recounts her career
Mimi Pond is an author, humorist, and award-winning cartoonist who’s written for newspapers, magazines, and television shows such as Designing Women and Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. Her graphic novels include Over Easy, The Customer Is Always Wrong, and most recently Do Admit!: The Mitford Sisters and Me.
In this special hour-long episode of Words and Pictures, Mimi sits down with S.W. Conser to discuss waitressing, British aristocracy, the National Lampoon's Funny Pages, the genesis of The Simpsons, meeting her puppeteer husband (who became the subject of a documentary), and the danger of underestimating fascists.
