Hate #28

In "A Day in the Life of Buddy Bradley," Peter Bagge delivers another sharp, character-driven slice of suburban life as Buddy navigates a chaotic Monday at his store, juggling visits from his sister and her kids, and the increasingly awkward flirtations from Joel, Jay, and Sally—his neighbors from the nearby Starbucks. With art and colors by Bagge and Jim Blanchard, and lettering by Bagge himself, the issue captures the quiet absurdity of everyday interactions with his signature wit and observational precision. The cover by Peter Bagge and Jim Blanchard perfectly frames the mood of the moment.
