Minimum Wage is the name of a number of comic book series and original graphic novels by Bob Fingerman.

[citation needed] Following the release of Maximum Minimum Wage, Fingerman began work on a new six-issue series, published by Image,[2] which was collected as a trade paperback titled Focus On The Strange.

After this, Fingerman released a second six-issue series through Image, titled Minimum Wage: So Many Bad Decisions, which was collected into a trade paperback of the same name.

[3] The original Minimum Wage series (and the attendant prequels and augmentations) follows the two main characters, Rob Hoffman, a neurotic freelance cartoonist and illustrator, and his girlfriend Sylvia Fanucci, who manages a beauty salon but has higher ambitions.

Issues addressed in the first series include the struggles of getting by in New York City on a limited income, the stresses money put on relationships, abortion, and the prospect of "settling down."
