A NEW COLLECTION BY THE WEB SENSATION AND NEW YORKER CARTOONIST Hark! A Vagrant takes readers on a romp through history and
literature—with dignity for few and cookies for all—with
comic strips about famous authors, their characters, and
political and historical figures, all drawn in Kate Beaton’s
pared-down, excitable style. This collection features
favorite stories as well as new, previously unpublished
content. Whether she’s writing about Nikola Tesla, Napoleon,
or Nancy Drew, Beaton brings a refined sense of the absurd
to every situation. In just four years, Beaton has taken the comics world by
storm with her non sequiturs, cheeky comebacks, and
irreverent punch lines. With 1.2 million monthly hits on her
site—500,000 of them unique—and comics appearing in Harper’s
Magazine, the National Post, and The New Yorker, her
caricatures of historical and fictional figures filtered
through a contemporary lens display a sharp, quick wit that
knows no bounds.
