by Kate Beaton
First published 2015
Ida B. Wells, the Black Prince, and Benito Juárez burst off the page with modern quips and on-point repartee. In her second collection, Kate Beaton's incisive wit spares no historical, literary, or contemporary figure from her satirical strips. From straw feminists to disgruntled Heathcliff, Beaton's carefully placed lines capture the over-the-top absurdity of it all. Fans will delight in this refined, hilarious skewering of hunks, army generals, and Canadians alike.
