I hardly need to admit that I've occasionally needed to stretch things quite a bit, to make dubiously-warranted assumptions, and to fill in gaps that might not have needed filling in an attempt to find tangential or downright hidden Shakespeare references in FoxTrot books for FoxTrot Fridays.
I don't need to admit it because you've noticed.
But I trust that the humor of FoxTrot's Bill Amend has entertained even the most skeptical of Bardfilm's readers.
But today, we have Deliciously FoxTrot, a collection that comes through with two very strong Shakespeare-related comics.
In the first, we see how Jason has gathered school supplies suitable for each of his subjects—including his English class:
In the second, we have Paige subliminally taking on the characteristics of Lady Macbeth:
That second one is made all the better by the title (the collections of Sunday comics have that extra place for an extra joke).
As always, I'm eager to see what our next FoxTrot Friday will have. But this time, I'm saddened by the knowledge that we're getting close to the end of the published books.
Please keep producing such masterful work, Bill Amend! And don't forget the Shakespeare angle.
