"My Pad (Revisited)" brings the core cast together for the last black-and-white issue of the series. Valerie plans to move in with Buddy and Lisa, but Buddy has already promised the room to Stinky. George returns as well, leading to lots of screaming and shouting. "Return to Hate Island!" is the sequel to the backup story found in issue #1. Hate #15 is the end of an era. Buddy leaves Seattle, and the series would never again be quite as sick or as twisted (or as good). Written and Drawn by Peter Bagge. Cover price $2.50.

Issue #16

The first color issue in the series (and the first issue in which Bagge hands over inking chores to Jim Blanchard), Hate #16 follows Buddy and Lisa to Buddy's old stomping grounds in New Jersey as they "Meet the Folks!" The introduction of color does coincide with a downturn in laughs-per-minute, but the series still has much to recommend, including Buddy's cranky parents and Babs, his deeply disturbed sister (who has equally disturbed children). Written and drawn by Peter Bagge, with inks by Jim Blanchard. Cover price $2.95.
