Bob Fingerman, best known for his cult comic series Minimum Wage, in 2018 realized his childhood dream to become one of MAD's "usual gang of idiots." Alas, MAD was soon thereafter essentially euthanatized. Bob accepts only partial blame for that. His newest book is the comical Dotty's Inferno (Heavy Metal/Virus). In October 2021, a heavily revised author-approved edition of his novel Pariah will be released, also through Heavy Metal.
