APOCALYPSE NERD!!

by Sean McGahey

A conversation with Peter Bagge

Since the last interview how’s the “Bagge” world domination plan going?

Eh. Floundering. Still keeping busy though, mainly with: APOCALYPSE NERD, REASON Magazine, and HATE ANNUAL (Issue 6 just came out, but isn’t on this page yet).

If you could have a pint with any artist/celebrity dead or alive – who would it be and what would you talk about?

That’s a good question. Too bad I can’t answer it! There’s many people I’d be curious to talk to, but no one person jumps out at me as THE one.

Ever drawn a comic whilst drunk (or sober)?

I used to be able to at least ink after I’ve had a few. I can’t seem to pull that off anymore, though.

Any plans on having a “Bagge” art exhibition in the UK? Similar to the Robert Crumb exhibition? (Or is it something you’d do before you snuff it)

That would have to be someone else’s idea — someone in a position to pull it off, that is, since my wanting something like that to happen wouldn’t be enough to pull it off. If someone did want to exhibit my work in the UK I wouldn’t be opposed, though

Did you have any in-put on the design of the HATE mini punk toys?

Yes, I drew and designed them all, though I had to keep the art confined into the very odd shapes they come in.

If you were to release a HATE music compilation CD, what would your first 5 tracks be?

They whole thing would probably sound just like my “Rockin’ Poppin’ Favorites” CD comp EMI put out a few years ago.
