Hate Annual #6
"Skeletons in the Closet" is a delightfully absurd and sharp-witted tale from Peter Bagge, showcasing his signature blend of surreal humor and social satire. In this 2006 Fantagraphics Annual, the story unfolds with a wild mix of political farce and bizarre personal drama, as President Bat Boy, Beyonce (who may or may not be part sasquatch), and a vengeful Ed navigate a world where the White House is on fire and crowns are the least of the problems. The entire story, from writing to inking, is a fully self-contained vision by Peter Bagge, with a cover by him as well.
