The world's first banana recovery & rehabilitation center

A committee of banana grandmothers with nothing left to prove.

Bad Bananas are what happens when you get left in the fruit bowl too long. Everybody wrote them off. They got better anyway: sweeter, deeper, more interesting than the firm yellow ones nobody remembers.

They're a little mischievous about it. The rule at this bakehouse is that the browner and more spotted you are, the older, wiser, and more trouble you're allowed to be.

The cast

Meet the nanas

Heavily spotted, golden-brown

Granny Bananny

The ringleader. Green polka-dot bandana, round glasses, pearls she has never once taken off. Warm, bossy, and the actual source of most of the trouble.

Runs: Trouble Makers

Spotted gold

Banana Foster

Red cat-eye sunglasses, flower tucked behind the stem, best hair in the bowl. Sarcastic, unbothered, has opinions about everyone's glaze choices.

Runs: The glazes

Deep brown, very spotted

Nana Dottie

The oldest. Cat-eye glasses on a chain, cardigan, house slippers, undefeated at bingo. Moves slowly. Talks fast.

Runs: Bingo Bars & the Darlings

Barely spotted

Nana Pearl

The young one, and the fussy one. Sewing apron, thimble, a pincushion she guards. Measures everything twice.

Runs: Nana's Sewing Kit

Nearly black

The Bad Banana

Sunglasses, high-tops, a beach chair he refuses to leave. Retired. Unbothered. Has seen things. He's on the sign because he earned it.

Runs: Supervising
