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.
