{"product_id":"sweatshop-peter-bagge-9781606998120","title":"Sweatshop","description":"Mel Bowling is the unhappy, out-of-touch creator of a very bad, daily newspaper comic strip called \u003cem\u003eFreddy Ferret\u003c\/em\u003e (a cross between \u003cem\u003eDilbert\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGarfield\u003c\/em\u003e). He spends most of his time listening to Rush Limbaugh and coming up with horrible catchphrases to merchandise, while his \"sweatshop\" cast of studio assistants grind out all the hard work. \u003cem\u003eSweatshop\u003c\/em\u003e is a hilarious situational comedy from acclaimed author Peter Bagge (\u003cem\u003eBuddy Does Seattle, Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story\u003c\/em\u003e) that ingeniously incorporates the visual styles of cartoonist guest stars like Stephen DeStefano (\u003cem\u003ePopeye\u003c\/em\u003e) and Johnny Ryan (\u003cem\u003ePrison Pit\u003c\/em\u003e) to give voice to Bowling's colorful cast of misfit, aspiring cartoonists (plus a cameo by Neil Gaiman!), all attempting to make it big like their boss, but on their own terms. Originally published as a six-issue series by DC Comics in 2003 that was never collected, this is one of the best and most undervalued works of one of the key voices of his generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Bagge, Stephen DeStefano, Johnny Ryan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606998129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606998120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 6.70w x 0.50d","brand":"Peter Bagge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080121086207,"sku":"9781606998120","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4aa15c57-ff2e-4c17-b8e1-89e9e1e5716d.jpg?v=1685485064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sweatshop-peter-bagge-9781606998120","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
