A NEW COLLECTION BY THE WEB SENSATION AND NEW YORKER CARTOONIST
Hark! A Vagrant takes readers on a romp through history and literatureβwith dignity for few and cookies for allβwith comic strips about famous authors, their characters, and political and historical figures, all drawn in Kate Beatonβs pared-down, excitable style. This collection features favorite stories as well as new, previously unpublished content. Whether sheβs 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 siteβ500,000 of them uniqueβand comics appearing in Harperβs 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.
