Released on Monday, and entirely lost in the mad shuffle of yesterday’s news… Say hello to the cover art for what will undoubtedly be one of the books of the year:
Hark! A Vagrant, a collection of strips from Kate Beaton’s site of the same name – which I’m hoping that all of you have been reading for a long time now, and if not, go and do it now – is out from Drawn & Quarterly in October, hopefully in time for my birthday. Seriously, there is almost no way that this will not be spectacular.

Hurray! My birthday is in November, so it’s just at the right time.
And I’m sure you meant “there is almost no way that this will NOT be spectacular”?

Oops. I always have problems with double negatives.

Kate Beaton is great. It’s all positives in this comment.
