Hark! A Vagrant - A Young Professional

The maritime museum in HFX? that place rocks!

Younger Self is so adorable ^____^

Also jpg compression ow ow.

When I talk with my younger self, all he wants to talk about is Star Wars and the latest Science News (from the early '90s).

Now, if you made a t-shirt like the one younger-you is wearing, I will buy two. One for myself, and one for my little nephew, if they come small enough. That shirt is awesomeness.

oh my god pirates!

i want that book

Now that should be the next shirt design: Boat!

I -really- like this one. It works on so, so many levels.

that would make a great book title!

Young Kate is always fun. But what happened to your post about the Canadian history medal? Did the history police get on your case?

Aw, you guys are friends!

You should try working in the Alexander Keith's Brewerseum. Proper thing!

There aren't "benefits" per se, unless you count tons of beer and singing. And also taking the time to get it right. There's lots of that.

It's good to see a conversation between you and yourself ending on an upbeat.
Yay pirates

Oh my god. Younger self's face in the fourth panel.

Pirates! Oh man, what's the Dewey Decimal number for pirates, is it under, um, crime? History? Awesome? I still remember dinosaurs (567.9) and baseball (796.357) and sex (306.7 for the sociological aspects and 618-something for the mechanics), why don't I know pirates or ninjas? I guess I was not a very good librarian after all.

OK, it looks like it's 910.4. Ninjas are... 952? Must remember.

Also, I see the budding historian in Young Kate now! All paths to knowledge begin with setting beards on fire.

hahaha, look at her she is adorable! I still think you will be a pirate someday.

Li'l Kate comics are my favourite comics.

I just stopped "interning" at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House (it's a historic house musuem that belonged to Edsel Ford! Go figure!) on account of I got no money, was actually losing money to drive there (because gas is way expensive in these parts) and was bascially just doing boring ass data entry, and not fun research stuff like when I started. I really don't ever want to work for a museum, I'm going to borrow my way through grad school and then be like a professor or something. Besides, I like Soviet history best and there aren't too many musuems about the USSR in the USA! Frankly I think it is pretty silly.

Fab boat shirt.

That's funny, I used to work at the Vancouver Maritime Museum! We occasionally got your guys' mail!

I would totally buy a Boat! shirt.

That's the exact reason why I favor Blackbeard over the other pirates.

Nice book title, by the way. XD

I dont have a job :(,

a book of pirates sounds like the best present ever

Wait, all this time, I thought you'd worked at the Maritime Museum in Halifax!

I've been to your museum!
and rode in the awesome elevator!
and took a picture of their piratey volunteer recruitment poster. ("Give up the life of a buckaneer, and become a volunteer!") Arrr!

Would love to see a conversation between you and adolescent you.

Did you do that "Draw Your Teenage Self" LJ meme recently?

I believe the Canadian Football Hall of Fame and Museum is still looking for a new Curator.

Just sayin'.

Apparently, besides the countless footballs and helmets, they have quite a bobblehead collection.

oh thank goodness you cleaned this up. Very funny stuff. Keep it up!

That is a good t-shirt with 'BOAT!' written on it! Hey maybe you could make that into official Kate Beaton merchandise.
