Great Shakespeare Plays Retold with Stick Figures in Three Simple Drawings


"Other than Romeo and Juliet and possibly Hamlet, Shakespeare doesn’t exactly lend himself to the elevator pitch. The same creaky plot devices and unfathomable jokes that confound modern audiences make for long winded summaries. Not to say it can’t be done. Mya Gosling, a Southeast Asia Copy Cataloger at the University of Michigan, has been amusing herself, and more recently others, with 'Good Tickle Brain,' a web comic that reduces each of the complete works to a mere three panels. (Titus Andronicus‘ bloodbath required but one.) Those of us who are semi-versed in the Bard should delight in the way major characters and complex side plots are glibly stricken from the record."
