The screen cap I took of the first albums doesn’t do the vast collection justice. You’ll see! There’s a lot of periods and places packed in there.
Does Kate Beaton have a Pinterest? I’ve set up boards for my students to follow and I’d love to have her added as a resource.
I do! There’s absolutely nothing on it, it’s a hilarious non-entity, like your dad’s facebook account. I keep meaning to do it, though, instead of using tumblr as a pinterest in a way. Tumblr’s archiving is terrible! It would be cool to have some organization for reference things. I will let you know when there is anything worth looking at!

This is interesting - a documentary made in 1990 about the last trains to go across Canada before they shut off the Sydney, Cape Breton route, and other routes inland. It’s made by an Australian, and as they go through the Maritimes he’s surprisingly (if dishearteningly) on point. Mom took my older sister and I on the train that year, before they shut down the line, so we’d be able to experience something that was disappearing.
Bonus: he meets Pierre Berton!! AND his bowtie
Teenage girls seem to have been discovered by American pop culture in the 1930s. From that time until the present day, they have appeared in books and films, comics and television, as the embodied fantasies and nightmares of youth, women, and sexual maturation.
Looking at such figures as Nancy Drew, Judy Graves, Corliss Archer, Gidget, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Britney Spears, American Sweethearts shows how popular culture has shaped our view of the adolescent girl as an individual who is simultaneously sexualized and infantilized. While young women have received some positive lessons from these cultural icons, the overwhelming message conveyed by the characters and stories they inhabit stresses the dominance of the father and the teenage girl’s otherness, subordination, and ineptitude.
As sweet as a cherry lollipop and as tangy as a Sweetart, this book is an entertaining yet thoughtful exploration of the image of the American girl.
