MINIMUM WAGE VOLUME 1: 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.
