When drawing this strip, I was pretty much required to include some of that quote in the third panel: “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” It’s one of the most legendary quotes in human history, and it originates in Maria’s fake mash note. People these days apply [...]

You never know when or where the Time Traveling Piano Men will strike next! Time Traveling Elton John distracted the troops of Sir Walter Raleigh during the epic search for El Dorado. After that Time Traveling Billy Joel popped into the past and taught Leander a few choice licks. And, of course, it’s possible that [...]

I suspect that Viola’s disguise would probably be better in a real life production of this play. Hell, in the 1600s, they would’ve just had to take the fake boobs off their actor. But in my case, I find it funnier to have a disguise that’s obviously terrible, which is why I’m not even bothering [...]
