Shakespearean Selfies, part 2 (Remastered)

Let’s continue on the great Shakespearean Selfie remastering project…

And here’s the original:

Have to admit I found drawing a six-pack on stick-figure Antonio to be HILARIOUS.

GTB Play Page Updates: Measure, Merchant, and Merry

Let’s keep updating those play pages! Today we have three “M” plays that are conventionally known as comedies. In actual fact, two of them really incredibly NOT funny and the third is… just not very good, to be honest. I’ll let you figure out which is which.

Measure for Measure

Merchant of Venice

Merry Wives of Windsor

Shakespearean Selfies, part 1 (Remastered)

Time to once again revisit and renovate some old classics! Let’s polish up some Shakespearean Selfies!

And here’s the original, from waaaaaaay back in 2013, just a few months after I started Good Tickle Brain.

You’ll note that back then I hadn’t yet settled on the “triangle and circle” stick figure aesthetic I prefer again, and actually wasted lots of time drawing CLOTHES and stuff. I’ve learned a lot since then.

GTB Play Page Updates: Henry VIII, King John, and Love's Labour's Lost

A trifecta of relatively obscure plays today!

Henry VIII

A collection of Henry VIII-themed stick-figure comics by Good Tickle Brain.

King John

A collection of King John-themed stick-figure comics by Good Tickle Brain.

Love's Labour's Lost

A collection of Love’s Labour’s Lost-themed stick-figure comics by Good Tickle Brain.

I’ve seen Henry VIII and King John performed lived twice each now, and Love’s Labour’s four times, not counting various filmed productions. I can also say “honorificabilitudinitatibus” forwards and backwards. My Shakespeare geek creds are strong.

Pandemic Lessons & Life

A pair of pandemic-themed comics from last year, courtesy of my supporters on Patreon. I’m extremely fortunate in that I’ve been minimally affected by the pandemic (apart from the constant buzzing anxiety and crushing lack of in-person social interaction that everyone is suffering). So I’m trying to focus on the positives here.

The last 12 months have definitely been a learning experience and I would like it to end now, please and thank you.

GTB Play Page Updates: Henries IV, V, and VI

Today’s play page update features not one, not two, but THREE Henries! I have to confess, these are six of my favorite plays (ok, not Henry IV, part 2, as much as I love the deathbed reconciliation scene.) Olivier’s film of Henry V was my gateway into Shakespeare nerd-dom, seeing an RSC tour of all three Henry VIs and Richard III cemented my allegiance to the history plays, and the title of my webcomic COMES DIRECTLY FROM HENRY IV, PART 1.

Give me that sweet, sweet Plantagenet in-fighting, thank you.

Missed

Just realized last Sunday marked a full year since I’ve stepped inside of a theatre. It hurts.

This comic comes courtesy of my supporters on Patreon. Hang in there, theatre friends.

Shakespearean Valentines (part 2)

Don’t know why it’s taken me six years to follow up on my first set of Shakespearean Valentines, but better late than never, eh?
