Step Aside, Pops (A Hark! A Vagrant Collection) #[nn]

This 2015 collection from Drawn & Quarterly gathers a new set of Kate Beaton's webcomic strips from Hark! a Vagrant, blending historical figures, literary characters, and pop-culture icons—from Alexander the Great and Napoleon to Superman and Wonder Woman—into sharp, witty gags. The title strip, 'Step Aside, Pops,' exemplifies Beaton's trademark humor, which often reimagines famous personalities in absurd, anachronistic situations while maintaining a knowing affection for the source material. The volume collects strips originally published online between 2011 and 2014, offering a mix of one-panel jokes and short narrative sequences that skewer everything from classical history to superhero tropes.
