Bag om Persiflage

<b>When does the shadow of a legend merely block out the sun?</b><br><br> Everyone remembers <i>The Rest of Quiglet,</i> that heartwarming sitcom starring Grace Mannix. For four years it told the story of a typical teenage girl, her widowed father, and their robot maid (played by the exotic ''Biltong''). The legend was made complete by the chance casting of the show''s composer, Sherman Schiegel, in an onscreen role as Quiglet''s boyfriend. <p>In perpetual syndication, the show still has many avid fans.

But while doing research in Eastern Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Elyse stumbles upon a copy of this jewel in the <i>Quiglet</i> crown. And when she and Billy fall in love, she faces the same dilemma the show''s cast has long faced: what is their identity without the myth that brought them fame and fortune?</p> <p>Extending over four decades and told from a range of perspectives and paradigms, this debut graphic novel from renowned Australian cultural historian David Nichols is a pitch-perfect satire that explores ambition, desire, and the pursuit of perfection.</p>
