About the Author: Born around 1960 in Pennsylvania, Jeff Kelly eventually relocated to Madison, Wisconsin. When a job as a temporary worker failed to materialize into a promised permanent position in 1993, Kelly produced his first issue of Temp Slave! in his last days at work. Kelly went on to publish the iconoclastic "zine" through 1999 "as an attempt to analyze the changing face of work in America," as he told the Zine Book website. "It's also geared toward bringing humor into the political scene." After Kelly secured a permanent job as a press operator, he stopped publishing Temp Slave! but remained a frequently quoted commentator on the plight of working Americans.
