Confession: I haven’t actually read Wuthering Heights (a travesty for an English major, I know well, there’s always winter break!), but I have read Jane Eyre, and I’m familiar enough with the general plot of Wuthering Heights to know that, super romantic or not, Heathcliffe is not exactly the type of person one would want for a love interest (not that Catherine is, either), and given that Rochester has a history of chaining his wives up in attics until they’re driven to madness and arson, he’s not looking so great either.Īnd yet, here are Charlotte and Emily Brontë, totally checking assholish dudes out, romanticizing rude behaviors left and right, berating Anne for “just telling the truth”: “Anne you are so inappropriate,” they tell her. More seriously, I love Beaton’s “take-no-shit” attitude with regard to the, uh…well, let’s just say “brooding” love interests.
But imagining that she did makes my day better. Do I think Anne Brontë ever called someone an “alcoholic dickbag”? Not so much. Be mindful when sharing personal information, including your religious or political views, health, racial background, country of origin, sexual identity and/or.
Do I think Victorian ladies swore? Absolutely. Personally, I’m super pleased by this comic just because Kate Beaton consistently takes the best kinds of anachronistic liberties. On a happier note, and since I promised some dude watching with the Brontës, it’s time to pay up.

This is, after all, the same country that put a genocidal maniac on the twenty dollar bill. I would say I’m surprised but, honestly, considering US history, I’m really not. The first leader to propose attacks on Canada reasoned that they would create problems for Britain, but as the aggressive plan divided Fenian membership in two, subsequent military actions seemed more congruent with the desires of Fenian leaders to assert their authority over rivaling factions. All the comics on this list are available as prints, EXCEPT for those that dont say 'Print available'. Originally intended to raise funds and materials for activism on Irish soil, the leaders of the Fenian Brotherhood surprised many with their repeated hostilities against British North America. Well, Kate Beaton does, because that’s her style, but I don’t: So apparently the English weren’t the only fools, since Irish-American Fenians tried to hold Canada hostage in return for Ireland’s freedom. Neither I nor Kate Beaton kid ye, gentle reader.
HARK A VAGRANT BRONTE FULL
Remember the beginning of the year, when all was bright and full of potential? Remember the Irish totally making fun of the English in Dublin Castle, refusing to have their portraits taken (or alternately, being complete goofs in the process)? Yeah.
