Minimum wage (01): focus on the strange

• Bob Fingerman, who South Park / The Book of Mormon's creator Trey Parker has described as “a brilliant satirist, artist and mind,” has returned to his signature series Minimum Wage after a fifteen-year break. Spurred by assembling last year's definitive collection of the '90s era material, Maximum Minimum Wage, Fingerman is thrilled to be creating new material. Minimum Wage Volume 1: Focus on the Strange collects the first six all-new chapters, as well as a ton of bonus material including the covers and a huge guest artist gallery featuring pin-ups by Bill Sienkiewicz, Farel Dalrymple, J. Bone, Joe Flood, and Brandon Graham. • Picking up the story in spring of 2000, freshly separated Rob Hoffman is trying to reassemble his life. Only 25, he's going through a divorce, his finances are in ruins, and he's forced to move back in with mom. All around him things are changing. The internet is about to erase his number-one source of income: men's mags. But the internet also offers a new angle on dating, and so begins Rob's adventures as a singleton.
