GTB Play Page Updates: Much Ado, Othello, and Pericles

Some more play page updates! I’m actually shocked at how few comics I’ve drawn about Much Ado, which is probably one of my favorite plays. I’ll have to rectify that.

GTB Play Page Updates: Measure, Merchant, and Merry

Let’s keep updating those play pages! Today we have three “M” plays that are conventionally known as comedies. In actual fact, two of them really incredibly NOT funny and the third is… just not very good, to be honest. I’ll let you figure out which is which.

GTB Play Page Updates: All's Well, Ant & Cleo, As You

Time for some more play page updates! I’ve run out of plays that I’ve done complete scene-by-scenes adaptations for, but I’m putting together pages for the rest, starting with the As:
