Hate (Comic)Hate is a humorous, cynical, semi-autobiographical comic book by Peter Bagge, published by Fantagraphics Books. Beginning in 1990 and running for 30 issues, it tells the story of sleazy, disenfranchised Generation X slacker Buddy Bradley's increasingly futile search for love and happiness in modern day America - specifically Seattle and the suburbs of New Jersey. right Hate is populated by Stinky, Buddy's body odor impaired roommate; Lisa Leavenworth, Buddy's love interest; Valerie, another of Buddy's love interests; George Cecil Hamilton III, Buddy's other roommate and uber geek; and Buddy's family, which includes his brother, sister, mother, and father. A major change in Hate's story took place half way through, when Buddy moved from Seattle to New Jersey, at which point the strip, once in black and white, was produced in color. Bagge has said that coloring the strip after Buddy moves in with his family was important for it not to become too depressing. Bagge has continued to produce as a series of Hate Annuals since terminating the regular series. Hate was one of the most popular and best selling alternative comics of the time. It has been said that it effectively captures the spirit of the grunge movement. Bagge continues to release updates on Buddy's life in Hate Annual, an annual collection beginning in the year 2000.
