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!

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