Also included in this volume is the shocking final fate of the exuberant Stinky—a story that caused jaws to drop in unison all around the world when it was originally released—and the riotous tale of Lisa's brief conversion to lesbianism and subsequent breakup with Buddy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginally released in color, the stories in \u003ci\u003eBuddy Does Jersey\u003c\/i\u003e will here be presented de-colorized in the pristine black and white of earlier Buddy stories, in order to better show off the crisp beauty of inker Jim Blanchard's linework. (Or as much crisp beauty as you need to delineate a row of partygoers setting fire to their own flatulence!)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBuddy Does Jersey will feature a long introduction by Bagge describing (for the first time) how the stories in this book reflected events in his own life, and a foreword by the inheritor of Bagge's mantle of hilarious grossness, \u003ci\u003eAngry Youth Comix\u003c\/i\u003e' Johnny Ryan.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Bagge\u003c\/b\u003e  created \u003ci\u003eHate\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the bestselling and most influential comic book series of the past quarter century.
