Kate Beaton


Sometimes you just strike gold without actually making the effort of looking for it.

I was ambling along on-line, minding my own business, when suddenly this amazing webcomic popped into existence on my ViewSonic - completely out of the blue! (And here's a big thanks to Neatorama for posting an illustration done by her to lead me on!) The very talented Kate Beaton, who is awesomer than awesome, is the woman behind this hilarious and well drawn comic. Go look if you don't believe me, but don't come a-blaming me, when you suddenly realize that you've spend most of your working hours reading witty comics, broadening your views and challenging your intellect with sharp satire.

Just selecting which strips and drawings to represent her work here on Astrocities has been quite a challenge, since there's so many goodies, but I think I got a fair bunch selected. Judge for yourself...


Well... they are!

This one I picked, because I once wrote an essay about the norman invasion of England - Sorry for being self centered...


Anyway, Kate Beaton origins from Nova Scotia, has a history degree and lives in Ontario and fancies to draw pictures. Her website is http://www.harkavagrant.com/.
