Fans of Peter Bagge s generation-defining, satirical fiction may
not realize this, but the cartoonist doubles as an opinionated
cuss, and has been contributing provocative (but still hilarious)
comic-strip opinion pieces to Reason magazine for the last several
years...collected in this volume. Although a libertarian by
inclination, Bagge is hardly dogmatic, and many of the pieces
undermine traditional party lines in favor of a personal, rational
and informed take on hot-button issues that will force partisan
Democrats and Republicans alike to rethink them. And of course,
Bagge s well-researched comic strip essays crackle with the same
energy and wit that propelled him into the collective Gen X
consciousness with his comic book series Hate. Favorite topics
include the erosion of our civil liberties (whether the post-9/11
Bush administration s gradual erosion of the Bill of Rights, the
insanity of the war on drugs, or nanny-state meddling), ongoing
boondoggles of the American public (for professional sports
stadiums or ineffective public transportation systems), the Iraq
war, so-called art and so-called entertainment, the homeless,
politicians both in general and in particular (including the 2008
presidential race and a revelatory one-on-one with Republican
not-so-hopeful Ron Paul), and whether citizens should be allowed to
own bazookas. Each piece features the voluble Bagge himself front
and center as the puzzled, indignant, or deeply conflicted
everyman-on-the-street trying to make sense of this 21st Century.
And of course, every panel is delineated in Bagge s glorious,
laugh-out-loud stretchy 4-color cartoon style, making even his
disquisitions on some very serious topics go down as smoothly as
Buddy Bradley s latest escapade. BONUS: This new edition of the
sold-out Everybody Is Stupid features an extra 20 pages of
never-before-collected comics, including an epic biography of
eccentric libertarian (and Ayn Rand contemporary) Isabel Mary
Paterson."
