This Hate Annual features, as always, the latest installment in the life of Buddy Bradley, only this time he goes through a whole new set of drastic lifestyle changes -- as well as a brand new (albeit accidental) makeover! It's an extra-long, 14-page full-color episode titled "Fuddy Duddy Buddy!" The issue also features a new (also full-color) "Lovey" story, the first-ever compilation of Bagge's continuing "Bat Boy" serial from the Weekly World News, and one of Bagge's typically astringent illustrated essays, this one on the gentrification of taverns.
