Peter Bagge - Early Life

Early Life

Peter Bagge and his four siblings grew up in the New York City suburbs. Bagge's father was in the military and Bagge has talked about how his Catholic household was the scene of "lots of drunken fights about money. We were the weirdo outcast kids of the neighborhood. I couldn't get away fast enough." Moving to New York City in the mid-1970s, Bagge briefly attended the School of Visual Arts before dropping out to work on Punk Magazine.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “It was common practice for me to take my children with me whenever I went shopping, out for a walk in a white neighborhood, or just felt like going about in a white world. The reason was simple enough: if a black man is alone or with other black men, he is a threat to whites. But if he is with children, then he is harmless, adorable.”
    —Gerald Early (20th century)

    “The forest waves, the morning breaks,
    The pastures sleep, ripple the lakes,
    Leaves twinkle, flowers like persons be
    And life pulsates in rock or tree.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
