IT'S FINALLY OVER, GUYS.
It's all over apart from the crying. And the death/marriage count. And the one-page summary. And then it'll be over, I promise. Stay tuned...

In the previous installment of A Stick Figure Romeo and Juliet, we lost the first half of the titular couple. No prizes for guessing what happens in today's installment.
Now you know what happens in Romeo and Juliet. Stay tuned for the final installment next week, when all the surviving characters will tell each other what happened, in case anyone missed anything!
Let's see what's going on inside the tomb where it happens:
Everything could have been averted IF ONLY Friar Laurence had kept himself in better shape and was a faster runner. RUNNING SAVES LIVES, PEOPLE.
THIS IS IT.
THIS IS THE FINAL SCENE.
...ok, it's the first part of the final scene, because it's a really long final scene.
Spare a thought for poor old Paris here. He was just there to leave flowers at the grave of his crush, and now he's dead.
OK! Juliet has escaped the clutches of her family by pretending to be dead and Romeo is on his way back to Verona! What could possible prevent this from turning out happily?
Friar John, that's what.
You had ONE JOB, Friar John, and you screwed it up. ONE JOB.
HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! We've finally made it to Act 5! Let's check in with Romeo over in Mantua.
Who doesn't love the apothecary? Everyone loves the apothecary.
When we last left our heroine Juliet, she was dead.
...OR WAS SHE???????????
Has anyone seen the "poorly timed comic interlude with musicians" bit in performance? I've only seen it once, and based on that particular experience, I have no real complaints about it being habitually cut.
When we last saw Juliet, she had just taken a somewhat dubious temporary coma potion given to her by Friar Laurence. Let's see how that worked out...
I love the musicians in this scene, by the way. They're just out of frame right now, but we'll see them next time...
A reminder that I will be exhibiting at the Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival (nee Kids Read Comics) this weekend! Stop by the downtown Ann Arbor District Library between 12:00pm and 5:30pm on Saturday and Sunday and say hello! I will be selling the usual t-shirts, posters, and comic books. It's going to be a lot of fun!
