We made friends, another one of those weird internet friendships that feels both intangible and invaluable. Like everyone else in the world I became a fan of her work - the funny historical stuff and the (also funny, but serious too) autobio stuff. I'm told it's interesting to read, so, phew. Kate Beaton and I are the same age, and we hit the indy comics scene at roughly the same time. The second is a long interview with Laura Hudson of Comics Alliance. The first is the podcast Comics News Insider with Joe Gonzalez and Jimmy Aquino, I was there for their 300th episode and they had some great guests! The Store is actually starting to update with new material bit by bit, there are several shirts and mugs coming in, plus the onesie I mentioned! But in the meantime, there are always prints available, which I keep not mentioning but let me tell you, it's true.Īnd I have two interviews to tell you about, done with two very lovely and informed people! It was a pleasure. Anyway.īy the way, have you ever read Dracula? It's a very good read, you may be surprised. Hark A Vagrant - Kindle edition by Beaton, Kate, Beaton, Kate. As you deserve! Thanks Bram! I wrote it down so as to remember it.īut don't get me wrong, I prefer my vampires to be moustachioed 1890s types more than the sexy kind you see nowadays.

I love it when Halloween comes around and I get to make comics for it! Here we have Bram Stoker's Dracula, a book written to tell ladies that if you're not a submissive waif, society goes to hell and ungodly monsters are going to turn you into child killing horrors and someone is going to drive a bowie knife through your heart/cut off your head/etc. If you are interested in comics about the Bronte sisters, Hamlet, Dracula, and Nancy Drew then you may just enjoy Hark A Vagrant by cartoonist Kate Beaton.
