Self-taught artist Yuri Landman made his debut in the comics field in the mid-1990s with his self-published album 'Je Mag Alles Met Me Doen'. In the follow-up, 'Het Verdiende Loon', Landman describes the suffocating atmosphere on a mediocre office, where all the employees are small-minded and egocentric. Landman worked for an advertising company himself, and when he was fired in 1997, he put all his experiences in this autobiographical comic.
