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:
“Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“In the two centuries that have passed since 1776, millions upon millions of Americans have worked and taken up arms, when necessary, to make [the American] dream a reality. We can be proud of what they have accomplished. Today, we are the world’s oldest republic. We are at peace. Our nation and our way of life endure. And we are free.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
