Comics creators Kate Beaton has signed a deal with Drawn + Quarterly.
A release date for Step Aside, Pops: A Hark! A Vagrant Collection has been scheduled for September 2015. Editor Tom Devlin negotiated the deal with Seth Fishman, a literary agent at the Gernert Company, and acquired North American English rights.
Devlin had this statement in the press release: “Kate’s wit is sharper than ever in Step Aside, Pops. She’s found the perfect way to explore her love of history, while effortlessly deflating the pompous, self-righteous figures of authority we were taught to respect in school. Her restlessness has made her drawings even funnier.”
