Buddy the Dreamer hard - Softcover

Peter Bagge is the Geoffrey Chaucer of Generation X. The adventures of Buddy Bradley and his friends skewer the heart of 1990s post-adolescent culture more accurately than a hundred documentaries or Time magazine articles could. Set in Seattle, Washington, the Buddy Bradley stories follow the lives of a group of friends as they deal with sexual inadequacy, self-loathing, and a bleak, empty future. It's all extremely humorous. Bagge uses a wonderfully elastic, aggressively cartoony graphic style; his characters spend a considerable amount of time slouched on old sofas, but when they explode with emotion, they really explode, bugging their eyeballs and stretching their limbs. This volume contains the extended story "Follow that Dream," in which the revolting Stinky and his band (managed by Buddy of course) become stars, sort of. -- amazon.com
