hough readers may associate Kate Beaton with the quirky, light-hearted humor of her historical digital comic series, she gives the medium a more sobering treatment with her first full-length graphic memoir. It’s a searing and layered account of Beaton’s harrowing experiences working in Alberta’s oil fields to pay off her student loans.
Over her two years in the oil sands, Beaton works long, high-risk shifts during which she confronts her complicity inin spite of its environmental consequences and harm to Indigenous peoples. But the danger posed isn’t just to the natural resources and land of Alberta, Canada.
