Honestly, who the he'll thinks impure blood is a good medium for irrigation? Who needs bloody furrows? posted by Bromius at 8:16 PM on July 16, 2010 [2 favorites]
maus, the scary thing is that those "Forum" posters in your links are distinguishable from the people in the "I Like Drawing Babies" strip by nothing more than a super thin layer of irony. posted by Dr. Zira at 8:16 PM on July 16, 2010
I absolutely love Hark, a Vagrant. Thanks for the post. posted by Dr-Baa at 8:26 PM on July 16, 2010 [1 favorite]

Patriotic wankery is super creepy. GW was right! posted by maxwelton at 8:31 PM on July 16, 2010 [1 favorite]
Can we make this a general Hark! A Vagrant thread? Because I can't think about the third one down here without cracking up. Durr! posted by JHarris at 8:34 PM on July 16, 2010
Ah, Kate Beaton makes me happy. posted by Tesseractive at 9:10 PM on July 16, 2010
I liked today's comic, but Sexy Tudors is my favorite Hark, A Vagrant. posted by immlass at 9:18 PM on July 16, 2010
Kate Beaton is too good for this world.
Now, let's all be cool and just shut the fuck up and maybe we can fool her into doing a bunch more strips before she figures it out and ascends to a higher, cooler plane. posted by Halloween Jack at 9:32 PM on July 16, 2010
Kate Beaton kicks ass and that is all, thank you. posted by Pope Guilty at 10:22 PM on July 16, 2010

I want to have Kate Beaton's babies.
And then she'll make comics about those babies; comics about those babies in the French Revolution.
I was somewhat nonplussed by these French Revolution comics, however I like many of her other comics, especially Thucydides vs. Herodotus, which cracks me up. posted by dhens at 11:25 PM on July 16, 2010 [1 favorite]
What frightens me is that Kate Beaton is young and therefore, could quite possibly go on to produce things that are very much better. And I don't know if I can cope with that much splendour in one mortal being. posted by i_am_joe's_spleen at 12:24 AM on July 17, 2010 [2 favorites]
This comic is great, but I can't hear the word "Bastille" without thinking of this Achewood comic. posted by Hicksu at 1:10 AM on July 17, 2010
Kate Beaton is best when she's doing history and personal things and fat ponies. So so so good. And she is the queen of faces. posted by wemayfreeze at 2:28 PM on July 17, 2010
Oh I saw that cartoon but didn't recognize it was hers! Thanks for sharing! posted by falameufilho at 2:42 PM on July 17, 2010

My French co-worker says Bastille day is a "bunch of patriotic wankery".
There were, what, four prisoners in the Bastille when they stormed it? IIRC, two or three of those were unruly children placed there by their parents. posted by StickyCarpet at 3:26 PM on July 17, 2010
