I write Zounds, Alack, and By My Troth, a webcomic based on the works of Shakespeare.

The series is drawn in old school black and white pencils and features pastiches of famous moments alongside the continuing adventures of Will himself, as he strives to make his mark on the world of Tudor theatre - aided and abetted by the mysterious wild-haired woman known only as The Lady.

The series began on Wordpress just over a year ago, and a new comic is published there every Monday. Currently, I am republishing the existing strips from the very beginning right here on Tapastic on a roughly daily basis. The series is largely episodic, so feel free to dive in at any point from either end!

According to Romeo and Juliet, today is Juliet's birthday! She's always been one of the most well-liked characters in Zounds, and I hope to unleash her enormous pigtails on the internet again some day soon...
