Publisher’s description

From the creator of the highly acclaimed, outrageously funny Hate! SWEATSHOP tells the uproarious story of Mel Bowling - a nationally syndicated cartoonist who hasn't touched his strip in years. Instead, he uses a stable of aspiring young artists, each with a different career goal. This issue, Mel's nominated for an industry award…one that he'll stop at nothing to win!
