The Misery of Others is as Sweet as Honey

1994 · 1 season

A quiet, talky workplace-and-family drama that finds wry comfort in everyday friction.

Created by

Overview
A woman cartoonist struggles to make her way in the face of social restrictions. Her home office is the setting for encounters with editors, assistants and even her mother-in-law, and it’s often hard to distinguish friend from foe. Yet her ability to deal with problems somehow makes our own difficulties more bearable.
