Stick figure Hamlet.

Yes.

That Hamlet.

Yes. The Whole play. Word for word. As a webcomic.

It is a bit wordy, in the speachy bits, I admit. And it's not quite as fast moving as a moving picture.

But it's easier to read and understand (imnsho) than the traditional, printed, text with footnotes and margin notes every three lines, 'cause it is illustrated, and all.

And you only have to read four panels at a time.

...He's down to the final scene.

I wonder if he'll do another play, next.

Heh. Earlier this week, Charlie Rose had Patrick Stewart as a guest on his show; Stewart is currently playing the title role in the Scottish Play, and when that's over, he'll be playing King Claudius in Hamlet.

Maybe not, but it feels like some sort of BardTragedy!convergence going on...
