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:
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“It were sad to gaze on the blessèd and no man I loved of old there;
I throw down the chain of small stones! when life in my body has ceased,
I will go to Caoilte, and Conan, and Bran, Sceolan, Lomair,
And dwell in the house of the Fenians, be they in flames or at feast.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
