    Love love Hark! A Vagrant. And a lot of the other comics are way funnier, especially the historical ones. The comics about “marauding women on bicycles” (like this one) crack me up. I still think the “strong female characters” series is one of the funniest things ever.

    I wish Beaton would keep doing Hark! A Vagrant, but given what her family went through and her sister’s misdiagnosis and death from cancer, I understand why she finished it up. Her graphic novel/memoir, Ducks, was one of the best books I read last year.

      Yeah Ducks was incredible. It gave me a completely different persepctive on available post-secondary options that resonated as my eldest step-son is navigating college. But I love going back to my Hark! A Vagrant books for some historical sillies.
