Chuckie-Boy

Chuckie-Boy is a character from Peter Bagge's alternative comic Neat Stuff, part of the chaotic Bradley family ensemble. A fixture of Bagge's anarchic, irreverent humor, he inhabits the same dysfunctional suburban world as Buddy Bradley and the rest of the Bradley clan.

Bursting onto the underground/alternative comics scene in 1985 with Peter Bagge's Neat Stuff, Chuckie-Boy is one of the irreverent creations that helped define Fantagraphics' bold, countercultural voice during the late Bronze Age. Bagge's anarchic cartooning style made Neat Stuff a touchstone of alternative comics, and Chuckie-Boy shares those chaotic pages with a memorable cast including Girly-Girl, Buddy Bradley, and the rest of the Bradley clan. Popping up across Anything Goes! and Drawn & Quarterly as well, this character enjoyed a fourteen-year presence in some of the most celebrated alternative comics of the era. For collectors and fans of the underground-inflected alt-comics renaissance, Chuckie-Boy is a genuine piece of that gloriously weird, uncompromising history.
