Hate #20

In "Uncle Buddy," Peter Bagge delivers a sharp, character-driven slice of suburban chaos as Buddy finds himself unexpectedly babysitting his niece and nephew after their father fails to answer the door. With his usual mix of dry wit and observational humor, Bagge, handling both art and lettering, captures the absurdity of one man’s day unraveling in real time—drawn with precision by his own hand and brought to life through the subtle textures of Mary Woodring and Rebecca Bowen’s coloring. The cover, also by Bagge, perfectly encapsulates the quiet tension of the moment: a man caught between duty and dread.
