Silly And Stupid Shakespearean Doodles
This is what I did in Shakespeare class today. I also took five pages of relevant notes, but this was more fun.
Ben Johnson: Shakespeare you should write a city comedy!
Shakespeare: Johnson, please, I am so much better than that
Marcellus: Something is rotten in the state of Denmark
Horatio: Yeah, I ran out of deodorant
Hamlet: Oh hey look a ghost
Panel one
Shakespeare, to his wife: So when I die I'm going to leave you my second-favourite bed
Panel two
(awkward pause)
Panel three
Shakespeare: I, uh...
Panel four
Shakespeare: I want to be buried in my favourite. Yeah.
Panel five
(awkward pause)
Panel six
Shakespeare: It's a Serta!
'Sup Julius; we heard you like anachronisms so we put a watch in your play so you can tell time when it hasn't been invented yet
Oberon: PUCK I JUST HAD THE GREATEST IDEA why don't we fix everything by screwing everything up EVEN MORE
Puck: Sounds awesome, Oberon
Panel one
Juliet: Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Romeo: I'm right here!
Panel two
Juliet: NO. (shoots Romeo)
Panel three
Juliet: "Wherefore" means "why?" not "where?." I'm asking why you're a Montague, not where you are. God. You sound as stupid as an Anti-Stratfordian.
Ironically, none of the plays (nor the two "Shakespeare's-real-life" ones) are ones we've studied or discussed in this class. But all are ones I've read for my own enjoyment! The last one is fueled by PURE SHAKESPEAREAN RAGE.
If you cannot read my awful handwriting, I can post translations.
Update: Translations posted.
