☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Day in the Life of Buddy Bradley," Peter Bagge delivers another sharp, character-driven slice of suburban life as Buddy navigates a chaotic Monday at his store, juggling visits from his sister and her kids, and the increasingly awkward flirtations from Joel, Jay, and Sally—his neighbors from the nearby Starbucks. With art and colors by Bagge and Jim Blanchard, and lettering by Bagge himself, the issue captures the quiet absurdity of everyday interactions with his signature wit and observational precision. The cover by Peter Bagge and Jim Blanchard perfectly frames the mood of the moment.
In "A Day in the Life of Buddy Bradley," Buddy’s routine at his store unravels over a single chaotic Monday when his sister and her kids drop by, adding to the mix of awkward small talk and simmering tension with Joel, Jay, and Sally from the neighboring Starbucks—whose flirtations with Buddy only deepen the day’s growing absurdity.
In "Shamrock Squid: Autobiographical Cartoonist!", the perpetually anxious cartoonist Shamrock braves the chaos of San Diego Comic-Con, only to face rejection from a publisher who doesn’t get his surreal humor. Deflated but undeterred, he finds new inspiration and support in his comics-loving girlfriend, launching a bold new chapter in self-publishing.
