Kate Beaton

Kate Beaton is a cartoonist who was born in Nova Scotia, took a history degree in New Brunswick, paid it off in Alberta, worked in a museum in British Columbia, then came to Ontario to draw pictures. Her comics often poke fun at historical figures, which would make them really angry with her, if they were still alive.
