Day 31: Hark A Vagrant by Kate Beaton


Aha! This book cover is pretty damn hilarious. Don't you think? The expression on the face of the soldier (?) is classic vagrant. It reminds me of the little kids that wear the same cowboy/spiderman/superman/fairy outfit to school for six months because their parents gave in on the second week. Cheeky!

But the book looks a bit boring. What's on the inside? I kinda feel like it's just pages and pages of that same pasty yellow used on the background of this cover. Or that there'd be no images throughout the rest of the book and just big, random words pasted everywhere. Like, "yellow" and "blah" and "yah" or some shit.

But it might be pretty interesting, if the vagrant in question did some interesting shit. Like, if he went on an adventure. And the adventure was interesting. So really what I'm trying to say is what this needs is more of a background. Rather than have that pooey yellow it would be nice to have a background where shit was getting done. He could be on a pirate ship, or in a jungle, on a beach, or in a bull ring or you know anything apart from that damn yellaaa!
