A stick-figure Shakespeare comic by Mya Lixian Gosling
It’s spooky season, so here’s a blast from the past with some very lazy, last-minute costume ideas for the Shakespearean nerd in your live! And, since you’re voluntarily reading this, that means YOU.
Disclaimer: I have not tested any of these in person. Don’t blame me.
As Halloween is fast approaching (when did the run-up to Halloween become as involved as the run-up to Christmas?) I thought it would be a good time to revisit some of my earlier Halloween comics and re-draw the earliest ones digitally. Enjoy!
Original Shakespearean Halloween Party I here. Honestly, after all these years, Desdemona’s handkerchief and the bees are still my favorite Shakespearean Halloween costume ideas.
Original Shakespearean Halloween Party II here. Seriously, butter knife + string + stick is all the effort I want to put into a costume.
He’s dressed as a lion tamer and is holding a shrew. I’ve had to explain this to everybody, the sure sign that a joke didn’t work. Oh well.
Pls note bear is mauling his shoulder. Textual accuracy is important.
Occult October continues with a closer look at all of Shakespeare’s ghosts! Not just the flashy ones like Hamlet Sr. and Banquo. ALL of them. (Apparitions not included.)

I didn't get my act together this year, due to St. Crispin's Day craziness, but next year I'm definitely going to do some sort of Shakespearean costume contest.
