WE’VE FINALLY MADE IT TO ACT 4
Consulting pocket dramaturg: Kate Pitt
It’s taken EIGHT MONTHS to reach Act 4. Good lord. This play is even longer than I thought.
A Stick-Figure Hamlet: Act 3, Scene 4 (part 4)
Alright, let’s wrap this act up!

We did it! We made it to the end of another act! It’s… *checks play* …it’s all downhill from here!
A Stick-Figure Hamlet: Act 3, Scene 4 (part 3)
Closet scene! Arras! Stabbing! Dead body! Ghost! But not the ghost of the just-stabbed guy! Another ghost! Look, never mind, let’s just get on with it…

Everything about this scene is awkward.
A Stick-Figure Hamlet: Act 3, Scene 4 (part 2)
OK! Back to the closet scene! Hamlet just killed a guy!
Consulting pocket dramaturg: Kate Pitt
Hamlet killed Polonius and now this scene is killing me. It’s been a struggle, folks. Stay with me here…
Grocery Shopping
We’ll get back to A Stick-Figure Hamlet next week, I promise. I just need a little extra breathing room. In the meantime, here’s a comic you might relate to:
Shout-out to all the grocery store employees out there, especially the ones I interact with (at a distance) every week, who, despite being obviously stressed and overworked, and despite me wearing a mask, still manage to recognize me and take the the time to exchange genuine pleasantries. It makes a huge difference to me. May you all be sufficiently paid and protected.
Shout-out also to my supporters on Patreon (where this comic was originally posted), for their continued support of me during this time. Thanks to them I have been able to donate $2129.96 to charities providing relief and resources to people who have been severely impacted by COVID-19.
How Not to Wear a Mask
Talked with one of my doctor friends who is currently working on the pandemic front-line, and learned that things are worse than I thought.
