Buddy Bradley Gets Slandered

The Buddy Bradley series remains one of my all-time favorites. Just re-reading this story prior to posting it brought out a few laughs. If anything, the humor comes not from slapstick or contrived situations, but from the way people really are in real life. It's honest humor.

that anti-semitic sequence totally made me crack up once again. it's totally one of those random incidents that could really happen in real life





of course, Buddy does meet up with George later in the issue, but the revenge isn't so sweet

Meet Buddy Bradley...

Definitely one of my all-time favorite comic series is Peter Bagge's "HATE". Buddy Bradley (the primary character) is the reason why.

Buddy is basically the epitome of the slacker/loser culture of the 1990s. Through the series you get to see his day to day life, which isn't too different from the life I lived during the 90s.

If you've never read any of the series, this story from the first issue of the comic serves as a perfect introduction.

PETER BAGGE'S SPIDERMAN AND LINK POST

If you click on the thumbnail and read the editorial by Peter Bagge (taken from the fanzine COMICS COMICS #2, 2006), you'll get an idea of just how Mr. Bagge feels about Spiderman (and superhero comics in general).
Once you've read that, it'll come as no surprise that this is a very mean-spirited parody of Marvel Comics (and actually published by Marvel. *SUCKERS*!!!). Despite his motivations for the story, many parts of this parody (and accompanying editorial) ring very true.
In the same way that he had been painfully honest with the BUDDY BRADLEY series from HATE, he hits upon many of the things that are actually wrong with comics. I'm assuming that it was this brutal truth which made this one-shot so unpopular amongst the more hardcore fans out there. Too many comic fans take comics, and themselves far too seriously. If that sounds like you, you might not like this little four page excerpt so much.
As a big fan of the aforementioned BUDDY DRADLEY series, I've always admired Bagge's honest and pessimistic approach to satire, and this was no exception. This is a somewhat rare book that most people have a hard time locating, but I loved it.
