Tomorrow is the Ides of March! BEWARE!
...or, you know, don't.
What Tweets That Trump? part 1
Seeing as tomorrow is (alas) Inauguration Day, I thought I would take some of our incoming president's more recent tweets and match them up with Shakespearean characters... with some strategic alterations where necessary.
The first draft of this comic was, like, all history plays. His tweets match up very well with history plays, alarmingly....

I'm with her. "Her" being Elizabeth Regina/Gloriana/Good Queen Bess, of course, because I'm not about to tell you how to vote.

Campaign Trials: The Debate, part 2
The presidential debate between Shakespeare and Marlowe continues! I'm sure it will conclude in a rational and civilized manner.
Oh well.
Tune in next week for the final stretch of this interminable presidential campaign! And don't forget to grab your campaign swag at the Good Tickle Shoppe!
Campaign Trials: The Debate, part 1
Let's sit down for the first (and, thankfully, only) presidential debate between William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe!
I'm being a bit unfair to Marlowe here, as his authorship of the infamous Dutch Church Libel (a poem in rhymed iambic pentameter that threatened recent Protestant refugees from France and the Netherlands, and which may or may not have led to his untimely demise) was never confirmed. However, it contrasts very nicely with the passage in Sir Thomas More on refugees, which is largely agreed to have been written by Shakespeare. I'll let Sir Ian McKellen take it from here:
Tune in again on Thursday for the rest of the debate!
On a blatantly commercial note, I'm starting to sell out of various sizes of my never-to-be-reprinted Shakespeare/Burbage campaign t-shirt! If you want one, now is the time to get one!
Campaign Trials: The Supporters
Our coverage of the Shakespeare vs. Marlowe campaign continues today as our intrepid reporter hits the streets to find out what the people think.
My main takeaway so far from this series is that I really need to see Tamburlaine.
Tune in next week for Shakespeare and Marlowe's first (and only) presidential debate! And remember, time is running out to get your Shakespeare election swag!
