Beskrivning

If Penny Brighton didn't have bad luck, she'd have no luck at all. She lost her job. And her apartment. In the same day. But it's okay, her friend has a cozy storage unit she can crash in. And there's bound to be career opportunities at the neighborhood laundromat—just look how fast that 12-year-old who runs the place made it to management! Plus, there's this sweet guy at the community center, and maybe Penny can even have a conversation with him without being a total dork. Surely Penny is a capable of becoming an actual responsible adult, and if she can do that her luck’s bound to change! Right?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED) -- Penny Brighton,18, is something of a manic pixie, and by the end of this exceptionallyentertaining comic, she's on her way to becoming one guy's dream girl, eventhough disaster follows her everywhere. Part rom-com, part pop-culture parody,the story opens with Penny losing her job, parting ways with her friend/roommateHelen, and moving into Helen's newly empty storage unit. After Penny snags a jobat the Laundromat-which is managed by Helen's surly 11-year-old brother-shemeets geeky desk clerk Walter, and an awkward romance is born. Penny's storygrew out of Hirsh and Ota's Johnny Wander webcomic, and they're inperfect sync, delivering drily funny dialogue and outlandish visual comedy thatplays with conventions of film, manga, and geek culture (for her part, Pennyadores fantasy romance novels with titles like Dragon Lust andSuccubus Seduced, which she organizes “according tohotness”). The plot veers into action-thriller territory toward the end,blurring the lines between what's real and imagined, but Penny's idiosyncraticexuberance carries the day, and her hapless attempts to get her life in ordershould hit home with a broad range of readers.
