Marilyn #24 April 1965
In "Easter Surprise," Julia, fed up after years of enduring customer complaints, finally snaps—literally—by dumping a pie on a patron’s head, knowing it means her job is over. She heads off on a quiet holiday to Mallerma, only to find her plans derailed when a ticket mix-up turns her into the very customer she once served. Christian Gaty’s expressive art brings the comic’s gentle humor and unexpected twist to life, as Julia finds herself seated next to the clerk she inadvertently drove to quit—just as her holiday begins.
