A stick-figure Shakespeare comic by Mya Lixian Gosling
My working premise for this 30 Days of Shakespeare project was to highlight Shakespeare-related moments that bring me joy. Today’s pick doesn’t really bring me “joy”, but it’s still worthy of inclusion!
If it wouldn’t alarm people, I would totally go around randomly shouting “SPEAK HANDS FOR ME!” It’s such a great line.
Hey folks! Do you know what today is? I bet you do! That’s right, it’s THE IDES OF MARCH!!!!! Get our your white bedsheets and ketchup and let’s have a ball!

For more seasonal Ides “fun”, check out all my other Julius Caesar comics and then get your friends together and sing a rousing chorus of “Stab by Me”.
Them: Shakespeare is soooo romantic!
Me: 🤨

Huge shout-out to my consulting pocket dramaturg Kate Pitt for coming up with the ideas for all of these.
Be sure to check out Shakespearean Valentines (part 1) and Shakespearean Valentines (part 2), as well as all my other Valentine’s Day themed comics.
Here I am, answering the burning question on everyone’s lips: “What if Shakespearean characters wrote their speeches using voice-to-text?”
Another dip into the Patreon archives today! I’ve been writing a lot of Shakespearean-themed song parodies that I can play on my (relatively) newly-acquired ukulele, and this classic song had only only four chords and a really obvious parody opportunity.
“We’re gonna get in trouble now but stab by me…”
Yes, it’s MORE remastered Shakespearean selfies!

Check out the original here and marvel at my primitive pen-and-ink attempts to draw “insubstantial”.
Pretty pleased with my action-blur on Casca, tbh.
Let’s keep on updating my past New Year’s Resolutions comics, shall we?
Here is the original:
Another week, another revised and updated play page! Get all your Roman political drama over at the Julius Caesar play page!
