Buddy the Dreamer

Gavin

I expected this to be usual boo-to-normality huzzah-for-bohemia bien-pensant stuff, but it's actually down on slacker culture, rock n roll bullshit, being a scrub. Every character is deeply flawed, and even the nice ones are drawn deformed (noses longer than their legs, pinprick eyes, eyes crawling along the nose). Buddy is self-aware and funny, but also a shit. Lots of observations, violated principles, ordinary madness.
