Irreverently funny and carefully researched, no target is safe from Beaton's incisive wit in these satirical strips.\u003cbr\u003e Beaton began her infectiously popular web comic, \u003ci\u003eHark  A Vagrant, \u003c\/i\u003e in 2007 and it quickly attracted the adoration of hundreds of thousands of fans. It was an unequivocal hit with critics and fans alike, topping best-of-the-year lists from \u003ci\u003eE \u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAmazon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e, and more. Now Beaton returns with a refined pen, ready to make jokes at the expense of hunks, army generals, scientists, and Canadians in equal measure. With a few carefully placed lines, she captures the over-the-top evil of the straw feminists in the closet, the disgruntled dismay of Heathcliff, and Wonder Woman's all-conquering ennui. \u003ci\u003eStep Aside, Pops\u003c\/i\u003e is sure to be the comedic hit of the year: sharp, insightful, and very funny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Beaton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770462082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770462083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 8.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2015 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2015 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/16\/2015 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/25\/2015 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2015 pg. 124","brand":"Kate Beaton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049282531583,"sku":"9781770462083","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c5249d5-24eb-4c7c-acbb-49c7cea91f03.jpg?v=1685000683","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/step-aside-pops-kate-beaton-9781770462083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
