Personal Life
Bagge lives in Seattle with his wife Joanne, who contributes coloring work on his art.
Bagge has long been openly libertarian in his politics, and many of his comics feature references to this. He opposed to the Iraq War and criticized George W Bush. Bagge voted for Libertarian presidential candiadate Harry Browne in 2000 and Democrat John Kerry in 2004 because he "wanted to fire Bush." When asked who he was voting for in the 2008 election, he wrote: "If the polls in my home state are close: Obama (McCain is simply too incompetent these days to be president). If not, I'll make a protest vote for Barr." In a follow up article by Reason, Bagge stated, "I wound up voting for Barr, and I stand by THAT vote more now than I did then!"
Bagge collected his work for Reason expressing his Libertarian views in the book "Everybody is Stupid Except me: and Other Astute Observations." Bagge has continued with his strips covering libertarian issues in Hate Annual.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“There is in him, hidden deep-down, a great instinctive artist, and hence the makings of an aristocrat. In his muddled way, held back by the manacles of his race and time, and his steps made uncertain by a guiding theory which too often eludes his own comprehension, he yet manages to produce works of unquestionable beauty and authority, and to interpret life in a manner that is poignant and illuminating.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
