  Peter Bagge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Bagge is an American comics artist and creator of Hate, Neat Stuff, Martini Baton, and Sweatshop.
One of the most successful of the alternative comics creators, Bagge has recently adopted some customs of mainstream comics - comics produced by a "team." The subject matter of his latest effort, Sweatshop, is less edgy, and it's published by mainstream publisher DC Comics.
Peter Bagge lives in Seattle, contributes to Reason and MAD Magazine and pens "Adventures of Batboy" for the Weekly World News.

Bagge, however, connects his violently negative aesthetic reaction to a set of stock libertarian arguments against the NEA and other forms of public funding - ignoring the fact that private support outpaces public funding by billions of dollars, and that most of this art is the product of private patronage.
Bagge’s ultimate argument comes at the end of page 3, where he mentions the “working-class appeal” of big box megastores and describes a mall in suburban Seattle as “a low-income heaven.” If malls are so inclusive, he implies, then critics of malls must be insufferably elitist.
Bagge departs from libertarian dogma more successfully in other strips, most obviously those that poke fun at libertarians - although at least one of these comics, “Fair-Weather Idealists” (December 2001), mocks libertarians for not being libertarian enough, for abandoning their principles in times of economic crisis or terrorist attack.

 Mote MGZN -- Peter Bagge interview
Peter Bagge doesn't remember the first comic he ever drew, but it would be hard to forget the drawing that started him down the celebrated road he has travelled for over a decade.

Bagge has always provided his readers a nigh-on democratic forum to express their views; he encourages and prints letters from readers, he has created Buddy Bradley lookalike and Win a Date with Stinky contests.

 I Am NOT The Beastmaster: Black-Bagge Job
Bagge's own subtitle acknowledges that he's belaboring the obvious, but when he criticizes the "eye-roll inducing self-indulgence" of performance art he seems not to be aware that these old chestnuts roll about as many eyes.
Bagge also ignores an important element of Duchamp's readymades, their attack on the notion of "taste" as the constituent element that separates art from not-art.
Bagge's entire comic was nothing more than a series of cheap shots: from his summoning of the shade of Duchamp to mock his original conceptual art to his accusations of cheap hackery at Shakespeare, Bagge delights in taking cheap shots: it seems disingenuous to leap to his defense over one.

Peter Bagge is the Geoffrey Chaucer of Generation X. The adventures of Buddy Bradley and his friends skewer the heart of 1990s post-adolescent culture more accurately than a hundred documentaries or Time magazine articles could.
Bagge uses a wonderfully elastic, aggressively cartoony graphic style; his characters spend a considerable amount of time slouched on old sofas, but when they explode with emotion, they really explode, bugging their eyeballs and stretching their limbs.
Peter Bagge is a comic (and comics) genius and Buddy the Dreamer proves it.

Bagge: Except in the cases where the character is that person, there's no character that's been based entirely on one human being, including myself.
Bagge: But both the director and Crumb himself think of Crumb's brothers, not just as these fucked-up losers-- they realize that these guys are deeply troubled, but they also believe that they're brilliant, and fascinating.

That Bagge uses e-mail to conduct interviews didn't help matters, though it's probably the best option for him, as there are surely even crazier Baggists out there than yours truly.
Bagge it would seem, checks his e-mail even more compulsively than I do, which is to say quite regularly, especially for a guy who one must assume is fairly consistently busy (it would be a bit of a stretch to suggest that he is the hardest working man in the comic industry.

 Peter Bagge
By common consensus, Peter Bagge is the funniest cartoonist of his generation.
Bagge is probably best known for the ’90s comic book series Hate, which followed the exploits of the slacker ne’er-do-well Buddy Bradley (and managed to show probably the truest representation of Seattle during the “grunge” boom and bust).
Bagge was also editing R. Crumb's Weirdo magazine, this family for the ages has its roots firmly planted in All In the Family's Bunker family and MAD magazine, with a healthy punk rock anger occasionally exploding.

Peter Bagge was born in Peekskill, New York, where he grew up reading and watching what most bored and antsy kids read and watched in the late '60s: MAD magazine, Warner Brothers cartoons, hot rod comics, Peanuts, and plenty of TV.
He studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City in the mid-'70s, where he received little encouragement to pursue his cartooning ambitions from his teachers and peers (the one exception being Joanne Connelly, later to become his wife).
Hate has explored the life of the grunge '90s in Seattle (long before it had become a trend and the 'g' word was ever used), only to jump off the bandwagon as the scene exploded, moving east to New Jersey.
