A stick-figure Shakespeare comic by Mya Lixian Gosling
It's SHAKESPEARE MONTH here at Good Tickle Brain! Today we take a look at one of the most exciting period in Shakespeare's life: that seven-year gap when we have no documentation as to his activites and can thus imagine him doing ANYTHING.
I kind of love it that we don't know exactly what Shakespeare was doing during this time. It's nice to have a few unanswered questions.
Tune in Thursday to see Shakespeare's triumphant emergence in London!
It's SHAKESPEARE MONTH! Let's continue our journey through the timeline of Shakespeare's life with today's installment taking a closer look at Shakespeare's salad days in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Tune in next week to find out all about those missing seven years!
It's April, which means it's SHAKESPEARE MONTH! All month I'll be running a series of biographical Shakespeare comics. Now, I'd like to state up front that I'm not a Shakespeare historian: I'm a Shakespeare cartoonist, and the two are very different things. So if there's something glaringly incorrect, I apologize in advance.
(And no, saying Shakespeare wrote the plays attributed to him is not glaringly incorrect. Go find an Oxfordian stick figure comic to follow or something.)
Tune in for the next installment on Thursday!
Dear old Shakespeare's birthday/deathday is coming up this Sunday! To celebrate, I've written him a little song.
....OK, I've stolen a song from Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton and then rewritten all the lyrics.
Happy Birthday, Shakespeare!
