Known for her sharp wit and keen sense of the absurd, Kate Beaton (b. 1983 in Mabou, Nova Scotia) launched her career in 2007 with the irreverent webcomic series Hark! A Vagrant – parts of which later appeared in award-winning collections. A history graduate and self-taught artist, Beaton published her first full-length graphic novel, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands, in 2022. The memoir, about her “migration” to the Northern Alberta oil sands to work off her student debt, has been hailed by critics as an intimate, damning, yet profoundly human exposé of the industry. In 2023, Ducks became the first graphic novel to win CBC’s prestigious Canada Reads competition.
