Kate Beaton

Terry Teachout Laura Demanski, a/k/a Our Girl In Chicago, loves the Edward-Goreyesque cartoons of Kate Beaton and so do I—whimsical confections of weirdness on historical subjects. I can recommend with especial enthusiasm Beaton's snapshot character studies of a self-revealing Genghis Khan, a self-regarding Søren Kirkegaard, and a self-restrained Nikola Tesla.

UPDATE: In the comments, Terry Teachout points out my mistake, since corrected. I don't know if I should be mortified by my careless error, or thrilled that it was noticed.

It's my co-blogger Laura Demanski, a/k/a "Our Girl in Chicago," who likes Beaton. Note that she signed this post "OGIC" in the title.
