Comic strips for English Literature and History nerds, what more could you ask for? I love the illustration style, the subject matter, and the delivery.

My issue with it: Perpetuates some pet peeve historical inaccuracies. ( )

love her. She's hilarious as always. :) ( )

NSFW: some bits not suitable for work (or for children). Language and exaggerated stereotypes. It's full of historical and cultural references... I learned something from the cartoons (yeah I know they're fiction and exaggerated for the sake of humour, but they're still as accurate as most of the history and literature dished out to us in school... okay more accurate) and I might have to research.

I was all set to give it four stars for being excellent, and then I found the index. A comprehensive and detailed index just in case some nerdy soul needs to find the cartoons about Julius Caesar or Tom Longboat quickly. FIVE STAARS! ( )

Funny as it always is with her stuff, but maybe not as novel as the first one. ( )

Kate Beaton amuses me greatly. Occasionally, I have no idea what she's referencing though and this is definitely not a book for the ignorant. ( )
