From publisher Topatoco.com:

"When Kate Beaton was first asked to make a book, she said "ok, but I only have about five comics on my website, gimme a while." Now the time has come! This is a collection of comics made between late 2007 and early 2009. It is 68 pages of the ones she likes the best! It should be noted that younger self comics aren't there, but perhaps they will have a home all their own someday!"

Criticize Containing Books Never Learn Anything From History (Hark! A Vagrant #.5)

The only reason this isn't getting five stars is that this is Beaton's first collection and she's gotten even funnier (i.e. better) since this collection came out. If you don't read Hark, a Vagrant you should be. What's to love? Beaton makes history funny without dumbing down the history. (Which isn't to say there's no dumb humor in the book. There's a lot of dumb humor. But it's *smart* dumb.)Beaton draws in the casual, scribbly style of Norton Juster or Lauren Child. Not enough cartoonists

Fun!So fun.Kate Beaton is fun.And pretty funny in that slightly snarky "I can't believe this happened, but it did, so I am writing a comic about it" way.Her best comics are the really nonsensical ones. There are several where Napoleon is stuffing his face with cookies in the last panel. Cookies. I laugh every time.

Do you like "Hark! A Vagrant!"? Then you will like Never Learn Anything From History . It pretty much is Beaton's greatest hits from 2007-2009. My favorites: Jane Austen comics, Percy and Mary Shelley comics, anything to do with the Pope (I like the old Pope better too, Kate!). I made my sister read the one with Pope John Paul II in the middle of her grad school homework because it was just TOO GOOD TO NOT SHARE.

Kate Beaton. Say no more. She seems to be a hit these days with the web-savvy crowd and I find that to be well deserved and most excellent turn of events for the young comic maker. The most important thing is that she makes wonderful comics about history, with the occasional personal tid-bit thrown in for fun (these are only online for the moment though). I've been reading her comics and blog for some crazy number of years now (originally linked over from A Softer World) and couldnt be happier

For Christmas this year I received two (two!!) Kate Beaton books. I've talked about Step Aside, Pops before, but never about this!Never Learn Anything From History is a little less polished than Beaton's other books. It looks self-published (not that this is a bad thing). However, it contains some of my Very Favorite comics (Fat Pony! The Sleepy Hollow joke! Joshua Norton! The Tintin joke!) and is really just funny and adorable and wonderful. A+ as usual, Kate Beaton, how do you do it.

The first collection of Hark! A Vagrant comics. This one's a bit more tightly focused than the second collection (the one actually titled Hark! A Vagrant). Fun stuff, especially if you appreciate history! (A)
