Wonder Woman as You've Never Seen Her Before
Kate Beaton of "Hark, a Vagrant" writes a webcomic that is full of awesome, win, history, and Canadianness. She recently posted a new comic that contains a version of Wonder Woman we are unlikely to ever see.

I adore this. The faces in the third panel have me cracking up.

I rather like the little Wonder Woman pic you´re using, do you have a larger version of it lying around? Or the full pic, if it´s been cropped.

The icon itself was cropped and edited by a_trill on LJ. The image is this gorgeous Josh Middleton cover:D

The determined, professional fierceness with which she yanks that cat the hell out of that tree is truly sublime.

This reminds me greatly of Wonderella. And since I like Wonderella, I approve.

... Holy shit, you're right. I never thought of it that way, but making Wonder Woman a totally honest but tactless asshole would kind of be awesome. The joke here is that I'm totally serious.

I was already cracking up at, "Oh you bad guys." The eyeroll and the hands-on-hips are fantastic.

And then, of course, it just got better.

Eh, it's a little too Wonderella for me. Not that that's a problem, I love Wonderella, it's just doesn't feel original.

She's got a certain bit of *crustiness* that sets her apart, somehow. At least to me. :D

Or you can just consider that it's actually Wonderella, and that's why she's grumpy - the old bat got her name wrong!

Well, you could say that this happened years ago and the old lady is Canadian. Now it's 4/4! Satisfied? :p

I love how COMPLETELY freaked out the cat is in the last panel. Also, how unusually blue-collar this version of Diana is. She's not only not anxious to help, she's annoyed because the little old lady is interrupting her smoke break. 'I stand for TRUTH! - and the TRUTH is that I'm in a bitchy mood right now, 'cause people have been on my ass all day about all kinds of dumb #%^%, so count yourself lucky that I didn't make you rescue your own damn cat'.
Seriously, though, if she wanted to, Kate Beaton could draw a great traditional WW. Look at those three panels where she's taking care of the cat - look at her expression, the way her hair flies back, the clenched fist, the practiced way she tosses the lasso. That's classic Wonder Woman there.

"Hark, A Vagrant!" is definitely a comic worth checking out. I wouldn't call it one of my favorites, just because it doesn't have an ongoing story, and I don't tend to be as impressed with gag-a-day strips (even extremely well executed ones) as I am with those that carry on a narrative. But other than that, Beaton's work is pretty damn near perfect; her drawing style is impeccable and full of delicious detail, and her writing leaves me in stitches, even when I have no idea what she's talking about (being not a strong student of history, Canadian or otherwise).

In this way H,aV! is kind of like XKCD, in that I just don't get about 30% of the jokes, but I enjoy the jokes I don't get a bit more in H,aV! just because the art is so lovely. Not that I don't also love XKCD, but there isn't as much to look at, generally speaking, in Munroe's work, whereas Beaton always has something to offer.

Love!

I'm not entirely sure why, but I'm strongly reminded of The Pro.

Well, without the Ennis toilet humor, but still.

Traumatised Nibbles cracks me up.

And yeah, Wonder Woman kind of works well with the whole "WTF this shit's beneath me" kind of attitude.

Nibbles is traumatized because he just faced the truth about his own existence, namely the fact that he's named Nibbles.

When you line up the Wednesday Comics sequel, be sure to call Kate Beaton to do the Wondy segment! Unlike the previous writer/artist, you can at least read her handwriting.

Dang, someone beat me to it. :( This is part of a series where she's doing reader requests; I'm still holding out hope that we'll see Shatner.

Ever since they hit the market, Replica Bags have been sought after for their fine craftsmanship and unmatchable aesthetic appeal. The man the emperor found was Replica Bag , a professional luggage handler who packed luggage for upper class families.
