These are some ridiculous comic strips, and I loved them.
Beaton tackles a variety of topics in history and literature with
laugh-out-loud humor that often gets brawdy but never fails to amuse.
Admittedly, I didn’t get some of the jokes, but I think that’s due more to my
ignorance than Beaton’s talent (not gonna lie—I’d never even heard of some of
the historical figures she makes fun of, such as Nikola Tesla). The upside of
that is that I actually learned quite a bit, and by learning it through a
hilarious comic strip I’m likely to remember it better (why isn’t this stuff in
schools??)
I really like Beaton’s illustrations as well as her text—sometimes the drawings
cracked up me up as much as the words. Overall, a very entertaining
collection—I’ll certainly be watching for more of Beaton’s work in the future.
