Pretty much, yes. The brilliant and talented Kate Beaton has done it again, and done a fabulous riff on the recent, er, developments in Austen paraliterature. (Wonder if Kate would be interested in illustrating the League of Austen’s Extraordinary Gentlemen? Hmmm.)
Thanks to Erin for posting this in the comments of Wednesday Linkapalooza as well as the several hundred Alert Janeites and friends who wrote to us all OMG DID YOU SEE THIS GO LOOK RIGHT NOWWWWWWW. We do appreciate it, actually. You all know our taste so well!
There really is a story called Sense and Sensibility and Mr. Darcy and Sharks in Space Riding Motorcycles Plus There is a Time Machine on the DWG. I ran across it today and couldn’t stop laughing. Kate must have seen it too and been inspired to create the comic.

Actually, I think the stories on DWG were inspired by the comic.

I adore Kate Beaton’s work, and I would love to see what she’d do with League of Austen’s Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I love Kate Beaton’s little comics; I have two of her other Jane Austen ones hanging on my wall at home. π This one’s very funny!
