Reaching Out

okay, so I was looking for comic strips that allude to Shakespeare, and I found a blog that not only had a Foxtrot Comic with references to Shakespeare, but also related Shakespeare to Star Trek and examined a number of different versions of the dagger speech from Macbeth.  Here is the blog: http://bardfilm.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

and here is the comic, since it is at the bottom of the blog.  I thought it was pretty funny to see two nerdy kids using Shakespeare so creatively while the older sister is trying to study Shakespeare.

orite, says that she loves him as fresh meat loves salt.  He gets angry and sends her away.  She eventually finds work in a powerful house, the son falls in love with her, and at the wedding feast she asks the cook to use no salt in the dishes.  Her father, who was sitting next to her, started to cry

I think this comic is the epitome of engaging Shakespeare creatively.  The boys are enterpreting the quotes to suit their environment, all the while annoying the sister.
