Ducks : two years in the oil sands
Edité par Drawn and Quartely Publications - paru en 2025
With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, young Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta’s oil rush―in the tradition of East Coasters seeking gainful employment when they can’t find it in the homeland they love so dear. Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands puts Beaton’s natural cartooning prowess on display. Colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles are set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, Northern Lights, and Rocky Mountains. But as one of the few women among thousands of men working for the world’s largest oil companies, the culture shock is palpable. It does not hit home until she moves to a spartan, isolated worksite for higher pay. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet never discussed. For young Katie, her wounds may never heal.
