Until I get back from ECCC sometime next week, I’m gonna be posting some goofy one-panel comics as semi-filler. I’ve just got too much work to do to get full strips cranked out ahead of time. Author: William Shakespeare / Date of Publication: 1608 / Source: Wikipedia
I’ve always considered the moment directly AFTER “Hamlet” to be one of the most awkward in literary history. It’s basically just Horatio and a bunch of self-involved corpses.

After Maria leaves, the Fool starts talking to Malvolio as himself, only giving the poor imprisoned “madman” even more futile hope.
