Step Aside, Pops: A Hark! A Vagrant Collection

"I depend on Kate Beaton’s comic strips when I need a good, hearty giggle. Her latest collection features hilarious parodies of classic literature, history and pop-culture, with brilliant caricatures of everyone from Lord Byron to Ida B. Wells and Wonder Woman. Highlights include her blistering takedowns of “strong female characters” and “cool girls,” as well as her cheeky depiction of hairy-legged, bra-burning “straw feminists,” who sneak into children’s bedrooms to swap a Justin Bieber poster for one of a busty Mother Earth. And if you thought Wuthering Heights was too ridiculous to parody, Beaton finds a way to make it even more deliciously weird."
