Sure, maybe you remember my scene-by-scene adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but do you remember the time I re-enacted the Rude Mechanicals using Star Wars action figures?
Well, luckily for you the Midsummer Night’s Dream play page is open for business!

The little silly-looking pointed beard is historical. It’s in his portraits and his funeral effigy and it looks SO SILLY. I love it.
GTB Play Page Updates: Romeo and Juliet
The “Mya Laboriously Organizes and Updates the Good Tickle Brain Archives” saga continues! The Romeo and Juliet play page is up and running! Wherefore should you check it out? Wherefore not?
Shakespeare on Masks
Some useful quotes for our current time.
Consulting pocket dramaturg: Kate Pitt
Foul words is but foul wind, and foul wind is but foul breath, and foul breath is noisome; therefore I will INSIST THAT YOU PULL YOUR MASK UP OVER YOUR NOSE, COME ON, MY GLASSES ARE FOGGING UP TOO BUT SERIOUSLY ONLY SELFISH SOCIOPATHIC NARCISSISTS THINK THAT’S TOO HIGH A PRICE TO PAY FOR LITERALLY SAVING LIVES AND CURBING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC JUST dammit… I’m so tired… just wear your masks properly.
GTB Play Page Updates: Hamlet
As you know, my comic archives have been pretty nonexistent thus far. For some reason “Update and Organize Archives” never seems to make it above “OMG DRAW NEW COMICS” on my to-do list. Well, I’m trying to remedy that now. I am going back through SEVEN (!!!) years’ worth of comics, retagging them, and putting together play-specific pages. It’s a slow process, but hopefully will make Good Tickle Brain a much more navigable resource for my fellow Shakespeare geeks.
Naturally, the first play page to be completed is Hamlet! Perhaps unsurprisingly, I think I’ve drawn more Hamlet-related comics than anything else. That jerk always hogs the limelight. Anyways… take a look, check out any comics you might have missed, revisit old favorites you haven’t seen in years, and enjoy!
And, if by some terrible miscalculation on your part, you are eligible to vote in the U.S. elections but have not yet voted early or absentee… VOTE. VOTE. PUT YOUR MASK ON AND GET YOURSELF DOWN TO THE POLLS RIGHT NOW, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. PLEASE. I’M BEGGING YOU.
