The last few FoxTrot books have followed a trend of inviting the reader to supply the Shakespeare rather than blatantly quoting Shakespeare or alluding to Shakespeare or mentioning Shakespeare.
But we are hardy readers all. We are up to the challenge. If Bill Amend wants us to, we're willing to play "Spot the Shakespeare."
That's what we have in another comic devoted to Peter's English homework:
Last time (for which, q.v.), we noted that Peter was reading The Winter's Tale. It's evident that he's now writing a paper on that play (it has five acts, just like the fifths Peter is talking about—six if you count the long speech by Time).
We can now turn to Paige and her excitement over her most recent reading assignment.
Ah, the Scottish play—Shakespeare's shortest tragedy. Paige will soon learn that it's good not only for being brief but for being a deep sounding of the depths of the human heart.
