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.

It was a rainy Sunday afternoon in the 80's, and I was flipping through the tv channels seeing nothing but golf, boxing or bowling, and then I flipped to the pbs station, and saw two women in fancy Elizabethan-like dress, and one asked the other: "Why so sad, Cuz?"
Well, "cuz," is modern slang (right?), so I thought I was in for a Shakespeare Spoof. By the time I realized it wasn't a spoof, but the Real Thing, I was hooked. And my favorite scene was the bad poetry mocking--probably still is. ;-)
