review 1: Kate Beaton is the smartest and funniest cartoonist to come onto the scene in years. This first collection of her work is some of her earlier history and literature based cartoons. I think both her cartooning and her sense of humor has exploded since the strips that appear here so this collection is a little spotty. But maybe the ones I didn't find that funny just went over my head. The more familiar you are with her subjects the more brilliant these are and she doesn't stoop down to explaining every little joke.
review 2: I don't know why it took me so long to warm to this webcomic. Friends kept forwarding me the wrong ones at the wrong time, I guess. But now it's one of my favorites. And I don't even know that much about history (or Canada). The quirky snark ... moreworks regardless, plus you end up learning new things. She's a history major who works in a museum, so the scenarios are fact-based, if never the dialog. And the art itself can be just hilarious. less
