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?

The Point
Another autobiographical comic, courtesy of my excellent supporters on Patreon. These comics are very much self-therapy for me. None of my existential crises seem quite as dire once I’ve put them into comic form.
Wow, I can’t believe I drew that back in 2018, before society and the world LITERALLY collapsed around us. I was so innocent and naïve.
GTB Play Page Updates: Comedy, Cymbeline... Edward III??
Some more play page updates for you today! I was surprised by relatively how many comics I’ve actually drawn about Cymbeline, and was also surprised by how few comics I’ve drawn about Comedy. The number of Edward III comics, meanwhile was exactly what I expected.
Pep Talk
I keep telling my friends “[this month] I’m going to recharge and reset so I can avoid burnout and come back stronger than ever” and then I keep not doing it. But I’m really going to try this month.
Nope, still not buying it.

GTB Play Page Updates: All's Well, Ant & Cleo, As You
Time for some more play page updates! I’ve run out of plays that I’ve done complete scene-by-scenes adaptations for, but I’m putting together pages for the rest, starting with the As:
Shakespearean New Year's Resolutions, part 3 (Remastered)
OK, one final set of remastered Shakespearean New Year’s Resolutions, while it’s still January.
And here’s the original:
STA 2021: Virtual Conference Pros and Cons
Having survived my first virtual conference, I have to say there were more pros than I thought, although the cons were very substantial. Particularly the doom-scrolling one. I tell you, there is nothing more liable to distract you from an online conference session than watching a bunch of white-supremacist fascist terrorists storming your country’s seat of government in another window.

Regular programming (whatever the hell that is) resumes next week! Stay safe, loyal readers.
STA 2021: Virtual Conference F.A.Q.
Hey all! A slight deviation from our usual programming today. I don’t know why I’m telling you that: I’m literally the only person in the world who knows what my usual programming is supposed to be, BUT ANYWAYS. MOVING ON.
Ahem. I’ve been wonderfully busy the last two weeks attending the Shakespeare Theatre Association’s annual conference. The STA conference is always a highlight of my year, as it’s a chance for me to see some of my very favorite people and to learn from them, but I was oddly unexcited about this year’s conference, which, due to THE THING, was going to be all virtual. Being on Zoom for seven days just didn’t seem very appealing to me.
Of course I was wrong, and it turned out to be a wonderfully inspiring, engaging, and fun experience. As usual, I drew lots of comics documenting my conference experience and, as I struggle to get back to my aforementioned usual programming, I thought I’d share a couple with you here this week.
