"Show me what makes you a misfit and I'll show you what makes you necessary." -Jenny Lawson WHY ARE WE NAMED MISFIT? WE ARE NAMED MISFIT because we believe a bit of a misfit lies in each of us. that unique part of our spirit that delights in play. Just like the 'ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS' FROM the old Rankin bass CARTOON, THE ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS WAS A PLACE EVERYONE BELONGED, Quirks and all. We strive at Misfit to create that same kind of Place, A PLACE TO BELONG, TO CONNECT, TO CREATE, AND To BE A misfit.
