Minimum Wage

    (Fantagraphics, 1995-1999)
©1995 Bob Fingerman

This story features Rob Hoffman, a struggling New York City artist who tries to make a living as a porno-mag comic artist. Hoffman is not exactly thrilled with his current occupation, but it pays the bills and puts food in the fridge. Rob has a roommate named Jack who is steadily filling up the apartment with hundreds of semi-collectible books, which creates a strain in the friendship. Rob does have a saving grace, his sex-crazed girlfriend Sylvia, who is anxious to move out of her home which she shares with her brother and mother. Minimum Wage tells of Rob’s efforts to try and keep his sanity between wild parties, underground S&M performances, and maintaining a relationship with his tempestuous girlfriend.

This trade paperback was created by Bob Fingerman, a heralded creator in the underground comic ranks. Previous efforts include the critically acclaimed White Like She for Dark Horse.
