Issue #8
Published Feb 1992 by Fantagraphics.$2.50
"Follow that Dream!" parodies the '90s grunge scene in brilliant fashion as Buddy and Stinky co-manage a rock and roll band. Bagge's highly stylized art, with its rubbery legged, bug-eyed character designs, fits the tone of this issue (and this series in general) perfectly. Written and drawn by Peter Bagge. Cover price $2.50.

"Follow that Dream" Part II continues satirizing the music industry, in part by exposing its hypocritical nature. Meanwhile, Buddy does a bad thing in cheating on Valerie, but wises up later in the issue by leaving Stinky to his own rock and roll devices. Written and drawn by Peter Bagge. Cover price $2.50.

Published Sep 1992 by Fantagraphics.$2.50
"The Nut" describes Valerie's ex-roommate Lisa, who gets a job at the bookstore where Buddy works. Naturally, it ends in failure, so much so that she ends up shaving her head and donning a potato sack as "an act of total self-degredation." The depressing, disturbingly funny nature of this series continues unabated. (The cover photo is of Jon Horne, winner of the "Buddy Bradley Lookalike Contest.") Written and drawn by Peter Bagge. Cover price $2.50.

"In Search of the Enigmatic George Cecil Hamilton the Third" finds Buddy mad at his ex-roommate (who now lives with an actual female) for painting him in a less than positive light in his self-published magazine, "Zygote." Stinky, broke and alone, stars in the amusingly titled "I Left My Stash in San Francisco." Written and drawn by Peter Bagge. Cover price $2.50.

Issue #14
Published Nov 1993 by Fantagraphics.$2.50
"The Old Flame" refers to Buddy's ex-girlfriend Valerie, who is back from France. The story illustrates how a relationship, even a thoroughly dysfunctional one like Buddy and Valerie had, changes with time. Buddy is especially turned off by Valerie's pretentious new friends. In "Stinky Does Gotham," the Stinkster auditions with a band. Written and drawn by Peter Bagge. Cover price $2.50.
