Maybe that's suggesting they're actually illegally paying their employees sub-minimum wage starting out rather than going through a loophole to make it legal, and the $10 is a carrot so they can quietly fire them one day away from their raise because it's a Right to Work state where the employee's right to recourse has been eroded to nothing.
Nitpick, but you're thinking of at-will employment. Right to work means that if your workplace is covered by a union collective bargaining agreement, you don't have to pay the union for negotiating on your behalf.

I liked it a lot back in the 90s because a beer drinking pig was cool and edgy back then.

Even though I never liked Pibgorn before this, I've been so baffled by Brooke's choice to bury his own strip inside itself. Isn't building and maintaining an audience an important part of doing a comic series?

Imagine that you've never heard of Pibgorn or Brooke before, and you've just checking out the strip once in a while. You might go back and see a year's worth of archives, and this 1930s romance thing is all you get. Based on what you'd see every week, how would you ever, ever guess what Pibgorn actually is or is supposed to be about?

Well, I mean, the dude is in the newspapers. He's employed for life and his children are employed for 50 years after that. If he wants to make a strip that's 100% self-indulgence there's really nothing to stop him.

Roberts does that a lot, especially with comics like this that are basically just two characters talking. It's like he understands that two people just exchanging four lines of dialog is really visually dull, but instead of improving the dialog or something he just tilts the "camera" in some weird way.

Scott Roberts actually is a good artist (his comic book work, especially on SpongeBob, proves it). But with this strip I think it's because there was another artist drawing before he took over, so Roberts has to mimic the previous guy's style.
