A stick-figure Shakespeare comic by Mya Lixian Gosling
I will never stop going the well of Shakespearean musical parodies. Here are some excerpts of songs I didn't want to write full parodies for (yet!) but were too much fun to keep solely in the confines of my brain.
Credit to the Folger Shakespeare Library for the number of words in all of Shakespeare's plays. I did not measure the ground.
I’m back! Sort of. Maybe? Kind of. Possibly. Anyways. Look! A comic!
Unlike Cap, I cannot do this all day, but I’m going to try and get back into a sustainable comic-producing rhythm this month. Thanks for your patience! It’s good to be back.
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.
OK, let’s ease back into this…

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like everyone is doing R&J right now. Also, I’m OK with never seeing Lear again in my life.
OK, one final set of remastered Shakespearean New Year’s Resolutions, while it’s still January.
And here’s the original:
Well, we made it to the end of what was objectively a ghastly year on many different levels. Time to haul out the inspirational Shakespeare quotes as we look forward to 2021!
Thanks to everyone who helped get me through this year, notably my supporters on Patreon, who have enabled me to donate $4000 this year to food banks and COVID-19 relief funds for theatre artists and underserved communities. Thanks also to my pocket dramaturg, Kate Pitt, for providing me with much-needed long-distance emotional and creative support as I struggled through A Stick-Figure Hamlet. Thanks to my climbing partner and my yoga teacher for keeping me active and helping me feel connected despite not being able to move together in the same space anymore. And thanks to my parents for literally everything else.
And thanks to you for following Good Tickle Brain. Without you, I’d just be screaming into the void.
Here’s to better years to come.
