Hate #29
In "The Single Life," Peter Bagge delivers another painfully honest installment in Buddy Bradley’s ongoing misadventures, this time focusing on a second date that spirals into awkward silence and sudden retreat. With Bagge’s sharp writing and distinctive art—enhanced by Jim Blanchard’s inks and a vibrant palette from Joanne Bagge, Chris Brownrigg, and Rhea Patton—the issue captures Buddy’s escalating loneliness with biting humor and quiet despair. The cover, penciled by Bagge and inked by Blanchard, perfectly encapsulates the moment’s cringe-worthy tension.
