The thought of Elizabeth I saying "YOLO" through her sugar-rotted teeth made me snicker. Great link.

I feel certain that the fact that I understood almost none of those jokes means I have to give up my Canadian citizenship.
But if I can just hold out until November 7th, I should be able to get a good price for it.

I love that she presented several quizzes. But every day when I check her site, I wish wholeheartedly that she'd present a comic.

I know that this isn't really that remarkable to anyone but me, but something remarkable happened this year! Kate Beaton, who I've been following for years started cultivating a friendship with Scott C, who I've been following separately for years (since he started running a comic strip at Double Fine Productions). The day that I saw tweets from both their accounts talking about visiting Mabou N.S. blew my mind. They've formed a webcomic dream team you guys!

His Wikipedia entry even reads like a Kate Beaton cartoon:
Although widely regarded as a stirring orator, effective debater, and a man of great intellectual depth, De Cosmos had always been considered eccentric. Contemporaries paint a portrait of an isolated person (he never married and had few intimate friends) with grandiose manners, prone to public outbursts of tears, and a fierce temper that sometimes degenerated into fist-fights.

KokuRyu: "Kate Beaton is the Lynn Johnston of our generation."
What, destined to drive the strip down a Gary Stu path that has the fans crying no no oh god no more moustache-man please stop working our your failed marital issues in the comic strip?
Surely not.
I feel bad about being cruel and dismissive, but god that strip went to hell.

I'm going to guess that Kate Beaton is more in Lexica's camp than KokuRyu's.
