Forty Hour Man

<p>Is it a career or a series of really lame jobs? Stephen Beaupre (author) and Steve Lafler (cartoonist) pose this timeless question in<em> Forty Hour Man</em> a hilarious saga of one working stiff's three-decade journey into the minimum wage heart of the American Dream. It's all here - from scrubbing a steakhouse floor with a toothbrush to going bust in the Internet boom. Every bad boss. Every crazy co-worker. All the more shocking because it's true! Stephen Beaupre is a writer editor and unrepentant amateur musician. He is best known to comic aficionados as the former co-publisher of the Cat-Head Comics imprint and editor of <em>Buzzard</em> the 90's preeminent comic anthology. Post-comic pursuits include <em>Beyond the Fringe</em> a long-running humor column featured in <em>Worcester Magazine</em> and hard time in the Internet trench as writer/editor for popular online destinations such as <em>Angelfire</em> <em>Tripod</em> and <em>Monster</em>. He is inordinately fond of pancakes.</p>
