@saltywizard instantly recognized #KateBeaton's unhinged smile

An early comic by beloved Canadian comic artist Kate Beaton. Rendered in MS Paint™

This has been a running joke in our family for years. My SO loves to say, 'Walrus Milk' in a deep, Wilford Brimley voice and it always makes me smile.

Thanks for doing what you do, Katie.

Hark, a vagrant: 331

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.

Ui, endlich mal wieder ein dicker Comic auf dem Stapel. 😉

Kate Beaton: Ducks - Zwei Jahre in den Ölsanden

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. This 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.
Wish I could read it again for the first time but younger #comic #novel #ducks
"Environnement toxique", roman graphique de Kate Beaton, dans lequel l'autrice raconte son expérience dans les camps d'extraction pétrolière où l'isolement et l'enfermement modifient ou accentuent le comportement déviant des hommes face aux rares femmes qui travaillent.
Au fil de ses deux années d'expérience, Kate Beaton, très marquée par les agressions qu'elle a subies, arrive à faire évoluer ses sentiments, passant de la colère à l'empathie.
Très bel ouvrage !

And one last plug. This is a link to my November 2022 conversation with the extraordinary comic artist and graphic novelist Kate Beaton, of Hark! A Vagrant fame, about her award-winning, genre-defying autobiography, Ducks, on her time working in the oil sands of northern Alberta. Two years later, this one still haunts me. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2TmsHHwaApC05pfqYHI7aL?si=toLQn9QmRlqUnIc07QHEaA #KateBeaton #AlbertaUnbound #Ducks #oilsands #FortMcMurray
