Everybody is Stupid Except for Me

About this book

Fans of Peter Bagges Hate comic may not realize hes been contributing comic-strip opinion pieces to Reason magazine for the last several years... finally collected in this volume. Although a libertarian Bagge is hardly dogmatic and most of the pieces undermine traditional party lines in favor of a rather personal rational and informed take on hot-button issues: Favorite topics include the erosion of our civil liberties ongoing boondoggles of the American public the Iraq war politicians both in general and in particular and the conservative/religious war on sex. Each piece features 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 Bagges glorious laugh-out-loud stretchy cartoon style making even his disquisitions on some very serious topics crackle with wit and energy.
