Shakespearean Halloween Party I-IV (Remastered)

As Halloween is fast approaching (when did the run-up to Halloween become as involved as the run-up to Christmas?) I thought it would be a good time to revisit some of my earlier Halloween comics and re-draw the earliest ones digitally. Enjoy!

Original Shakespearean Halloween Party I here. Honestly, after all these years, Desdemona’s handkerchief and the bees are still my favorite Shakespearean Halloween costume ideas.

Original Shakespearean Halloween Party II here. Seriously, butter knife + string + stick is all the effort I want to put into a costume.

He’s dressed as a lion tamer and is holding a shrew. I’ve had to explain this to everybody, the sure sign that a joke didn’t work. Oh well.

Pls note bear is mauling his shoulder. Textual accuracy is important.

A Stick-Figure Hamlet: One Page Summary

It’s taken me just over a year to finish A Stick-Figure Hamlet. For those of you who have following along since the beginning, thank you! For those of you just joining me… you didn’t miss much. Let me sum up:

Consulting pocket dramaturg: Kate Pitt

Consulting pocket dramaturg: Kate Pitt

A huge HUGE thanks to my pocket dramaturg, Kate Pitt, for being with me every step of the way, answering all the random questions I had about the text, making sure my storytelling was clear, discussing the pros and cons of different interpretations, fixing typos, and generally being the best moral support a Shakespearean cartoonist could wish for.

I’ve neglected a lot of stuff while working on Hamlet, so I’m going to take some time off to get caught up on life. I’ll be posting just once a week on Tuesdays, for the next month and possibly for the rest of the year, although I’ll possibly come up with some filler stuff for Thursdays at some point.

So… see you next week for something that will DEFINITELY NOT BE HAMLET.
