Welcome back for another FoxTrot Friday!
The volume Some Clever Title: A FoxTrot Collection Blah Blah Blah is the third of the Sundays-only FoxTrot books.
There are fewer comics in those volumes, which means less opportunity for Shakespeare to find his way in.
Yet there are a number of possibilities in this one! The first has an allusion to Hamlet:
Hamlet has to be cruel only to be kind to his mother; here, the mother is considering whether to be cruel or kind to her son.
The next one is more about Shakespearean costuming than the text of Shakespeare:
Martin Goldthwait is going for "muse" here, but I'm reading Puck or the person representing As You Like It's Hymen, the god of marriage ceremonies or (at a pinch) Julius Caesar.
The last in this collection is one I've written about before (for which, q.v.), but it loses nothing in the retelling.
Thanks for joining us for FoxTrot Friday. We shall see what the future holds.
