☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Miss Average," a 1971 Love Story Picture Library gem, Polly’s mundane life takes a surreal turn when a joke on a form leads to an unexpected revelation about her place in the world. When her boss discovers her answers perfectly mirror the average citizen, he’s delighted—she’s become the ideal poll subject, and he wants her to stay exactly as she is. But Polly isn’t content with being average, not when she’s just begun to question what that even means. Pujolar’s expressive cover captures the story’s quiet irony, while the typeset lettering keeps the tone crisp and grounded.
In "Miss Average," Polly, a bored opinion pollster, fills out a form as a joke—only to discover her answers perfectly match the national average. When her boss, Martin, realizes she’s become the living embodiment of the average citizen, he’s thrilled to replace his entire team with her. But as Polly grapples with being valued for her ordinariness, she begins to question whether being average is truly enough.
In "Forget the Other Guy," Jo finds herself knitting far too much—until a passerby remarks on the enormous size of her project, prompting her to invent a fiancé named Leo, an explorer stranded at the South Pole. The lie takes on a life of its own as Jo begins weaving a romance that’s entirely of her own making.
