Hate #24

In "...Nothing That Twenty Years on the Couch Couldn't Cure!," Peter Bagge delivers another sharp, emotionally charged installment of Hate, as Buddy pushes Lisa to confront their escalating rift by insisting she see a therapist. When Lisa’s friend suggests a joint session, the two reluctantly agree—setting the stage for a tense, revealing conversation that lays bare the cracks in their relationship. With Peter Bagge writing, drawing, and lettering, and Joanne Bagge and Jeff Johnson handling colors, the issue’s raw, intimate tone is matched by its distinctive visual style, while Jim Blanchard’s inks add depth to the cover’s stark, expressive portrait.
