![]() ![]() Salkowitz: Was the unpleasantness of those interactions reflected in the stories?īagge: A little bit. I had some unpleasant experiences as a result of trying to befriend people. It was surprising and disappointing to see how reluctant cartoonists were to hang out. I’d been part of an alternative comix scene in New York and thought I could create that here. When I moved here, Seattle struck me as a city of hermits.

Instead of it being an anthology, I thought it should be centered on one main character. I’d been doing the stories in Neat Stuff and wanted to change the title and format in 1990. I had a bottomless pit of story ideas for Buddy because he was basically me. They appear clean cut but were actually the drunken, dysfunctional mess that my family was. I was just doodling with friends and thought they’d come across as a Brady Bunch parody. ![]() Peter Bagge: I first drew the Bradley family in 1980. ![]()
