I hope you didn't think I'd forgotten about FoxTrot Fridays.
Heaven forfend!
It's just that the school year started, and that makes it difficult to prioritize blog posts on Shakespeare-related comic strips.
To me, it seems pretty self-evident that the binder is full of Shakespeare handouts. Since Quincy is attracted to it, I'm imagining that reptiles in Shakespeare feature prominently: "[I am] of the chameleon's dish," "I can add colors to the chameleon, "Give him leave, madam; he is a kind of chameleon," "Ay, but hearken, sir: though the chameleon Love can feed on the air, I am one that am nourished by my victuals, and would fain have meat" et cetera. Yes, I know Quincy is an iguana, but that doesn't mean he can't be interested in other reptiles in Shakespeare.
As things fall into place in the fall semester, free time becomes less of a chimera.
And that means a return to FoxTrot Friday is in order.
Our first Shakespeare-related strip from Jasotron: 2012 is one of those that has more of an implicit connection to Shakespeare. Paige is, once again, somewhat reluctant to do her homework:

We move to another FoxTrot comic—one that talks about blogging in general but is likely to have Bardfilm specifically in mind.
I'm considering that business model myself.
And last and most Shakespearean of all, we have a comic that I wrote about way back in 2013.
And there we have it! Thanks, Bill Amend, for all the great Shakespeare. Let's see what we find in our next FoxTrot Friday.
