Hark! A Vagrant!

Hark! A Vagrant Kate Beaton

Do you read Kate Beaton's most awesome webcomic Hark! A Vagrant? because you should.

In it, Beaton regularly makes history, Canadians, and classic literature hilarious. Often with a paragraph or two of commentary that is also hilarious. Listen to Charlotte and Emily Bronte tease Anne about her horrible taste in men. Doesn't she know that drunk losers who ruin everyone's lives are HOTTTTT? What if Ben Franklin's political cartoons had a modern editor? And, well, her retellings of Shakespeare just make me laugh a lot. I especially enjoy her comics where she sketches out the plots of books based solely on their covers. (In this collection, she has a series of books with covers by Gorey and some classic Nancy Drews.) Nothing is safe or sacred, but it's all hilarious.

Her comics are funny and awesome and hey look! There's a whole book of them! So you can read them when you're not on your computer. You should probably go read them.

Mini Challenge 2

Still at work, but I did read 65 pages of Lovingly Alice by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor over my lunch break.

And now it's time for Nymeth's Web-Comic mini-challenge.

I read a lot of xkcd, which is a comic my friends often link to, but I haven't really read before. Hysterical. But only if you're geeky or hang out with too many geeks, like I do. Geek love in stick figure format... oh yeah.

Web comics I also enjoy: Unshelved and Piled Higher and Deeper, and Garfield minus Garfield.
