Sunday Smile: Jane Austen Funnies

9 May 2010 by Laurel Ann (Austenprose)

The talented artist Kate Beaton is at it again – doodling hysterical Jane Austen comics for our amusement. She seems to always have a knowing eye and the pulse on the latest Jane in-jokes. Visit her website Hark! A Vagrant and check out the Jane Austen archive. Oh, and happy Sunday. My favorite day of the week because it is my Saturday.

UPDATE: LOL folks. There is actually a short story posted on the Derbyshire Writers’ Guild (DWG) entitled Sense and Sensibility and Mr. Darcy and Sharks in Space Riding Motorcycles Plus There is a Time Machine! Kate must have seen this posted on May 8th and been inspired to create the comic in reaction.

    Most diverting. I was particularly amused by the last one. I’ll definitely be checking out Kate Beaton’s site now. Thanks!

    I like the last one… most fitting too of the mockery!

    I love Mr. Darcy and a time machine!

    Wonderful satire! I’m sure Austen would feel that way about them mash-ups.

      Nicole – I’m glad you enjoyed it. Is that your kitty in the image you use as an avatar? Is his/her tongue hanging out?

        I don’t like cats, but I happen to like this cat stickign out its tongue.

    These cartoons are excellent! I’ve fallen into a black hole looking into the archives and don’t know where the time went to! Thanks for sharing :)

    HA!

    Looks like the story was actually inspired by the comic…

    And it’s brilliant and hilarious!

      LOL – I got it backwards. Typical.

    Brilliance. Pure brilliance.
