It’s Saint David’s Day! As a proud 1/32nd Welshwoman, I am always delighted to have an excuse to celebrate my fractional Celtic heritage.
Today’s comic is actually my entry to the @graphicshakespeare competition being run in conjunction with this year’s Elsinore Conference. For the competition, artists were asked to adapt and illustrate a scene from Shakespeare, either one of several pre-chosen scenes or one of our own choosing.
Naturally, I opted to adapt the scene that would allow me to draw people getting hit by leeks.
