Sorry for my absence.  After the Phoenix Comicon, I had to move, but after the move, I discovered that my English Norton had been left behind.  As you can imagine, it’s hard to draw Lit Brick without my lit brick.  Anyway, it took a few days, but I got the book back on Saturday, and so comics have thus returned.

Not much to say about this strip, though.  I should mention, however, that the “Lucy” poems are rather pretty.  As far as Wordsworth goes, they rarely get better.

…in which a petulant William Wordsworth argues semantics with an eight-year-old girl.

And now, a note: I want to warn you well ahead of time that Lit Brick will become more erratic in its update schedule in a few weeks, to make space in my schedule for two different comic projects.  If it helps, both these projects are literary in nature and should appeal to you fine people anyway.  I’ll tell you more when I feel like I can.

Next week, the schedule will be back to normal, with just Tuesday and Thursday again.

This is one of the most famous poems in English literature, so I decided it probably needed a second strip.  Needless to say, 90% of the words in this comic are from the poem, albeit twisted. Author: William Blake / Date of Publication: 1794 / Source: Poetry Foundation]]> 2013-05-15
