Poor Yeats. He even wrote, as a poet for the country I guess, a half-arsed eulogy for Major John MacBride when that fellow went and got hisself killed in the Easter Rising.
oh yes oh yes I must make a comic of the Easter Rising (James Connolly, be still my heart)
Oh and yes I have been home in Nova Scotia at a family reunion or the past couple weeks, I am so hungover and tired my body is not going to forgive me for months and months and months.

Oh! Oh! And one of the major bases for the rebels was a biscuit factory. A biscuit factory. ...at least the troops were fed? On biscuits, but still.
Sometimes, it amazes me that Ireland ever became a sovereign nation.

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
(...wow.)
Oh poor Yeats, what foul treachery blackened your artist's soul? Oh right, that bitch Maude!

I love how you can watch his heart break in the third panel.
I love your facial expressions.
Erm, the ones you draw.
Although I suppose yours are probably okay as well.

Obviously, I'm not Yeats, I couldn't think of a way to say that didn't vaguely sound sexual, which i DO NOT mean it to sound as. Seriously, my intention was nothing of the sort.

It is great to have Kate Beaton comics again! Please get as wasted as you choose, so like Yeats, you can temper your art through suffering. No wait that's rude

Love the facial expressions! Just priceless!
You really have a knack for being able to illustrate 'pregnant pauses', and background schenanegans are just too funny!
These two and the one with Nikoli Tesla are certainly among my favorites :D
Keep on rockin!
