Silly And Stupid Shakespearean Doodles


Queen of Noise

767 views

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.

In the style of Randall Munroe, eh? He pretty much owns the whole "stick figure" concept.

No one owns the concept of a stick figure. They were around centuries before xkcd.

Actually, Randall Munroe invented a time machine and went back to show the cavemen how to make stick figures just so he could show people how witty his writing was and not amaze them by inventing stick figures in 2005.

You're just saying these lies because you didn't get the jokes I made, you uncultured Math Person. ; )

The irony is that I didn't get the last doodle until I read the last panel because I knew the real meaning of wherefore, and assumed that your stick figures did as well. XP

Black Six is a math person!? Awesome! I love math! I recently began teaching myself calc (specifically derivatives) because my school is so slow and precalc is pretty boring (trig functions are pretty fun, but we've spent so much time on them...). Stats is amazing. I love accurately summarizing data and predicting outcomes!

 

Can't say the same for literature though. But I did understand the jokes. Very nice job. I didn't understand the Hamlet joke, but that's because I haven't read that yet. But I have read at least one Shakespeare play a year for the past five years. The only one I semi-enjoyed was Julius Caesar. I prefer things like Lord of the Flies, Huck Finn, and Brave New World to Shakespeare.

I lulzed at Romeo and Juliet because I am an uncultured cad who did not know what "Wherefore" meant.
