Description
During its run in the mid-'90s, Minimum Wage racked up criticalaccolades and a devoted following, numbering among its fans Patton Oswalt, MarcMaron, Dana Gould, Scott Aukerman, Margaret Cho, Janeane Garofalo, David Cross,and more.
Why? Because each page boasted sticky, uncomfortable truths drenchedin bleakly familiar humor.
It was "cringe comedy" before the phrase had beencoined, presaging squirmy shows like Louie and Girls.
Set in a New Yorkso real you can practically smell it (so claimed Mike Mignola), MinimumWage is the workaday saga of cartoonist Rob Hoffman and his firebrandgirlfriend, Sylvia.
He churns out strips for smut rags and off-brand MADknockoffs and she languishes managing a hair salon.
With their colorful crew offriends, they forge ahead against the brutal indifference of their hometown. This definitive edition includes the original 72-page "pilot" episode(Minimum Wage Book One) and the revised "director's cut" of the mainstoryline.
Plus, a bonus color section featuring original cover paintings andguest pin-ups by Mike Mignola, Kevin Nowlan, Dave Johnson, Jill Thompson, DaveCooper, Glenn Barr, and others. Now featuring an introduction from Walking Dead creator RobertKirkman!
