To be honest, I’ve always felt that “Carol of the Bells” sounds like someone turned a panic attack into a song. Pretty sure my blood pressure was elevated while I was working on this. Gonna go chill out to some “Silent Night” now.

I’m taking next week off but I’ll see you back here when the new year FINALLY rolls around.

GTB Play Page Updates: King Lear

It’s another play page update! Take yourself back to 2014, before I started drawing digitally and was still goofing around on paper with pen and pencil, and revisit my King Lear comics!

I suppose at some point I’ll go back and revise my Stick-Figure King Lear. I was doing things pretty fast and dirty back then and it could be improved in a lot of ways. But… don’t hold your breath. Lear is a miserable play and I have no desire to do anything with it anytime soon. Everything is miserable enough as it is.

Stick Figure Iconography: King John

Let’s take a look a the English king everyone forgets Shakespeare wrote a play about: King John!

Confession: I drew this because I just finished reading yet another popular history of the early Plantagenet kings. I will never forgive Shakespeare for not writing a play about Henry II, although The Lion in Winter more than makes up for it.

Also, they were apparently all red-headed.

GTB Play Page Updates: A Midsummer Night's Dream

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!
