Plot
Before there was Kate Beaton, New York Times-bestselling cartoonist of Hark! A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of the Cape Breton Beatons, specifically Mabou. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush-part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in the homeland they love so much.
Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed.

Me ha enganchado de principio a fin, narra desde su mirada la soledad, el sentido de pertenencia y el machismo tóxico, la violencia que permea en este tipo de trabajos y las empresas que buscan el beneficio por encima de las personas. Recomendadisimo.

Nunca había leído a Kate Beaton, pero ahora creo que debo leer toda su obra.

A la mitad de Ducks, Kate hace referencia a una escritora que en sus libros dejo de lado ciertas referencias sexuales pq le parecieron que no debían ser impresas. Mas tarde habla con una compañera pq rechazó a una periodista que buscaba chismes baratos,
