"An exceptionally beautiful book about loneliness, labor, and survival."—Carmen Maria Machado
Before there was Kate Beaton, New York Times bestselling cartoonist of Hark! A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of the Cape Breton Beaton, specifically Mabou, a tight-knit seaside community where the lobster is as abundant as beaches, fiddles, and Gaelic folk songs. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush—part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in the homeland they love so much. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed.
Beaton's natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, northern lights, and boreal forest. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people.]]>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9187973https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9187973Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9187973980EBOOKTwo Years in the Oil Sandsenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770466531/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2625350https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2625350Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2625350126BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250184924/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1451034https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1451034Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1451034126BKA Vagrantenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770460607/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=Hark! A Vagrant is an uproarious romp through history and literature seen through the sharp, contemporary lens of New Yorker cartoonist and comics sensation Kate Beaton. No era or tome emerges unscathed as Beaton rightly skewers the Western world's revolutionaries, leaders, sycophants, and suffragists while equally honing her wit on the hapless heroes, heroines, and villains of the best-loved fiction.
She deftly points out what really happened when Brahms fell asleep listening to Liszt, that the world's first hipsters were obviously the Incroyables and the Merveilleuses from eighteenth-century France, that Susan B. Anthony is, of course, a "Samantha," and that the polite banality of Canadian culture never gets old. Hark! A Vagrant features sexy Batman, the true stories behind classic Nancy Drew covers, and Queen Elizabeth doing the albatross. As the 500,000 unique monthly visitors to harkavagrant.com already know, no one turns the ironic absurdities of history and literature into comedic fodder as hilariously as Beaton.]]>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5820390https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5820390Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5820390980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770464452/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1913818https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1913818Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1913818126PAPERBACKA Hark!

"Somewhere in my heart is a folder titled Things I Did Not Know I Wanted and it is full of Kate Beaton comics... Sharp, charming, and weird, Step Aside, Pops is a fine sampling of Beaton's work, and I can't recommend it enough." —NPR
"Nobody's ever gotten so much comedy out of omitting punctuation." —New York Times

Ida B. Wells, the Black Prince, and Benito Juárez burst off the pages of Step Aside, Pops: A Hark! A Vagrant Collection, armed with modern-sounding quips and amusingly on-point repartee. Kate Beaton's second D+Q book brings her hysterically funny gaze to bear on these and even more historical, literary, and contemporary figures. Irreverently funny and carefully researched, no target is safe from Beaton's incisive wit in these satirical strips.
Beaton began her infectiously popular web comic, Hark! A Vagrant, in 2007 and it quickly attracted the adoration of hundreds of thousands of fans. It was an unequivocal hit with critics and fans alike, topping best-of-the-year lists from E!, Amazon, Time, and more. Now Beaton returns with a refined pen, ready to make jokes at the expense of hunks, army generals, scientists, and Canadians in equal measure. With a few carefully placed lines, she captures the over-the-top evil of the straw feminists in the closet, the disgruntled dismay of Heathcliff, and Wonder Woman's all-conquering ennui. Step Aside, Pops is sure to be the comedic hit of the year: sharp, insightful, and very funny.]]>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5820475https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5820475Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5820475980EBOOKA Hark! a Vagrant Collectionenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770464469/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2711145https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2711145Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2711145126PAPERBACKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781772128000/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1599862https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1599862Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1599862126BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780547995465/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1896619https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1896619Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1896619126BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780989020756/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1474808https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1474808Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1474808126PAPERBACKA Collection of Stories About People Who Know How They Will Dieenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780982167120/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1784359https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1784359Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1784359126PAPERBACKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780544750357/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=
