A Vagrant \u003c\/i\u003eis an uproarious romp through history and literature seen through the sharp, contemporary lens of \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e cartoonist and comics sensation Kate Beaton. No era or tome emerges unscathed as Beaton rightly skewers the Western world’s revolutionaries, leaders, sycophants, and suffragists while equally honing her wit on the hapless heroes, heroines, and villains of the best-loved fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe deftly points out what really happened when Brahms fell asleep listening to Liszt, that the world’s first hipsters were obviously the Incroyables and the Merveilleuses from eighteenth-century France, that Susan B. Anthony is, of course, a “Samantha,” and that the polite banality of Canadian culture never gets old. \u003ci\u003eHark! A Vagrant\u003c\/i\u003e features sexy Batman, the true stories behind classic \u003ci\u003eNancy Drew\u003c\/i\u003e covers, and Queen Elizabeth doing the albatross. No one turns the ironic absurdities of history and literature into comedic fodder as hilariously as Beaton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eREAD AN EXCERPT:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe class=\"fp-iframe\" style=\"border: 0px; width: 100%; height: 600px;\" src=\"https:\/\/heyzine.com\/flip-book\/fa1991f801.html\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45560283726082,"sku":"9781770460607","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2228\/7429\/files\/hark-a-vagrant-cover-3x2.jpg?v=1729017578","url":"https:\/\/stlartsupply.mom\/products\/hark-a-vagrant","provider":"St. Louis Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
