If you don't read Kate Beaton's
Hark! A Vagrant
,
today is a good day to start.
I'm showing her header, but it's a trick: Today's strip isn't by Kate.
Leland and I tried to capture the spirit of her feature, at least, and I hope we did...but speaking for myself, I had a real case of brain freeze when invited to write a script. "How do you... I mean, how can anyone... What I'm trying to say is I can't...!" In short, I panicked until realizing that mortals can not write like her. Then I was free to write something like me, and hope it would be kinda sorta Hark!-esque. Leland's art sells it.
As for the real thing(s),
this and
this and
this are a few of my favorites by Kate herself. Oh, and
this. You get the idea, I'm sure. Subscribe and find some favorites of your own...I have, for years.
