Hate #13

In "In Search of the Enigmatic George Cecil Hamilton the Third," Peter Bagge’s signature deadpan wit and sharp eye for misfit lives take center stage as Stinky, freshly jilted by Linda, embarks on a surreal detour that begins with a desperate trip to reclaim lost drugs and spirals into an unplanned night at Tracy’s and a sudden flight to New York. With art, writing, inking, and lettering all by Bagge, the issue captures the raw, awkward energy of a man adrift—no grand plot, just the quiet chaos of trying to make sense of a day that never went as planned. The cover, also by Bagge, perfectly encapsulates the comic’s offbeat, introspective tone.
