Hilarious History

Spending sleepness nights wondering what you're going to do with all your random historical knowledge? Or are you frustrated that Canadian history has a reputation as being dull and boring and want to prove to your friends that history can be cool? Enter Kate Beaton.

My older brother introduced me to Kate Beaton's comics, which offer a hilarious interpretation of world and Canadian history. The great thing about Kate's comics is the diversity in subject manner. It is strong in Canadian content (she does a great Diefenbaker), but it is mixed in with random drawings of dandy's, former English monarchs, and the odd celebrity. The site really offers something for everyone. A new site was recently launched and includes a convenient archive.
