Ad: For Sale - Hark! A Vagrant by Kate Beaton (English) Paperback Book #HarkAVagrant #KateBeaton #ComicBooks
A note I re-wrote about #LiveAt5, #KateBeaton, and my dead uncle! Enjoy! Ⓐ
#TheDailyMail (the guys who specialize in reporting “celebrity gossip”) did a story on #WestMabouBeach? And #KateBeaton is the article’s focus! Well, Kate has a power the vast majority of Capers don’t - celebrity status. Thankfully, she uses her power for good! Ⓐ

Ah! A #KateBeaton reference to #JamesBarber… I don’t recall any episodes where he cut himself while filming his cooking TV show #TheUrbanPeasant - but my Dad recalled one episode where James was gushing his own blood all over the food. Then we must ask - did people eat the food he prepared? Ⓐ
Whoa, new comics from #KateBeaton! LITERAL toilet humour! Toilet humour (in general)! A reference to AN AWESOME MOVIE (that had an unforgettable scene of toilet humour)! Ahem. Some of the comics were deliberately hilarious, others deliberately serious - all were impressive, I say. Ⓐ
One recent #KateBeaton comic (about VHS rentals) made growing up (for her) sound similar to my own growing up (in my remote part of rural #CapeBreton). “It’s childhood in the ’90s,” she wrote. In the 1990s my Dad bought lots of cigarettes - but stockpiling two-fours was WAY, WAY MORE IMPORTANT. Ⓐ
*Phew* It had been so long since #KateBeaton posted on #Bluesky, I was (incorrectly) worried she had blocked me. ALTHOUGH, I don’t know what it looks like when you’re blocked on Bluesky. Goddamn, man - I sure know what being blocked looks like on other websites. Ⓐ
This week's post is all about the fantastic SHARK GIRL by Kate Beaton! To celebrate, I've developed a new set of reading activities for the book.

My copy of #Island (the #AlistairMacLeod short story collection), is a few short stories short. So I checked online for a more recent edition of Island, and one will be released in July - with introduction written by #KateBeaton (I can’t think of anyone more qualified/appropriate for that honour)! Ⓐ
WOW! On the #CBCRadio(?) show #TheNextChapter, #KateBeaton revealed she’s a fan of historians #EPThompson and #IanMcKay! I’ve heard nothing but high praise for Thompson’s work for many years. As for McKay - that guy BETTER finish volumes 2 & 3 of his history of Canadian socialism. Ⓐ
With regard to the recent interview of #KateBeaton (for the #CBCRadio show #TheNextChapter) I chuckled when Beaton mentioned her mom has an old copy of #TheLostSaltGiftOfBlood (by #AlistairMacLeod). And so does my mom! My copy of #Island contains MOST of MacLeod’s short stories - I must read it! Ⓐ
A #CBCRadio(?) interview of #KateBeaton (for the show #TheNextChapter), where she talks about some of the books that left a mark on her. One of which is #1066AndAllThat, a book I never heard of - though it sounds impressive! Ⓐ

A note I wrote about the graphic memoir #DucksTwoYearsInTheOilSands (by #KateBeaton). Also, some thoughts on socialists! Enjoy! #Ducks Ⓐ

This comic from Kate Beaton back in 2010 has new relevance lately, with the White House trying to pick a fight with #Canada.
"Americans being jerks again"
But I don't think it would resolve quite so easily today […]

I love #KateBeaton -- Hark, A Vagrant! has always been an utter delight, & her books are a joy. Definitely looking forward to picking this one up. #SharkGirl #CanadianLit #Canada
Spine of the book "Ducks" by Kate Beaton showing beautiful foil embossing on a yellow cover (without the cover wrapping)
Opend up book showing a person reading in bed, the two pages show black and white illustrations, 6 panels on each side.
DUCKS was an intense read and I related with so many things, having worked in a male dominated migrant industry myself in my young adult years.
#katebeaton weaves a subtle but forceful story between feminism, history, identity and grief.

TIRED because I read DUCKS by Kate Beaton (one of my two absolute idols, but I'm a sceptic on this concept) for the last few nights and had a hard time putting it away to go to sleep. #katebeaton #graphicnovel #ducks
restocked gems by Cape Breton's own Kate Beaton!

I’m not an artist — or communications pro, but when you say people find solar panels and wind turbines ugly and noisy, have they seen the Canadian Tar Sands?

I read #KateBeaton Ducks on the plane to Hal-Con in Nova Scotia, Kate's home province. A virtuoso graphic novel, personal and funny and emotionally devastating. 1/2
Shoutout to #KateBeaton and #EdgarAllenPoe today, with a tip of the hat to #JulesVerne! images.app.goo.gl/A8TLQY5ukqNo...
