Publisher Marketing: "Lafler wields a most appealing, cartoony style, half The Simpsons , half Peter Bagge's Bradleys , and Beaupre is the lower-middle-class working-stiff spokesman par excellence. An awful lotta guys will identify." - Ray Olson, Booklist Publisher Marketing : Is it a career, or a series of really lame jobs? Stephen Beaupre (author) and Steve Lafler (cartoonist) pose this timeless question in Forty Hour Man , 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!

He is best known to comic aficionados as the former co-publisher of the Cat-Head Comics imprint and editor of Buzzard , the 90's preeminent comic anthology. Post-comic pursuits include Beyond the Fringe , a long-running humor column featured in Worcester Magazine , and hard time in the Internet trench as writer/editor for popular online destinations such as Angelfire , Tripod , and Monster . He is inordinately fond of pancakes. Contributor Bio: Beaupre, Stephen Stephen Beaupre is a writer, editor, and unrepentant amateur musician.
