Description I am working on more new cartoons AS WE SPEAK but I thought I'd share some poster designs I've come up with for my local theater lately...

I would like to see William Shakespeare and Groucho Marx team up someday, maybe in a dream sequence.

Someone asked, I hearby give everybody permission to turn this into a tshirt or use it as a poster or whatever, share and enjoy!

I just recently saw the Reduced Shakespeare Company do their full-blown reduction of all of Shakespeare's plays. It was incredible.

This piece is hilarious. I want to make this into a t-shirt. Ooh, I'd buy it from you *wink*!

aren't they awesome? I saw the DVD, that is totally the way to absorb some shakespeare.

You can so tshirtify that if you so choose, I have no problems whatsoever so long as you send me a picture. In fact, I think I'll change it so it's CC is more sharey.

My local theater group director sent the poster to the author, he said it was the best one he had seen for it. Very funny play, I liked it right much.

Yes, he is a direct descendant of the bard. How he changed species halfway through is a mystery.

I'm old fashioned, don't use plastic in surgery, only wood, and occassionally bronze.
