To be or not to be

But in order to reach the condition of death one has to take action in life — charge fully armed against Fortune — so the whole proposition is circular and hopeless because one does not really have the power of action in life. With that thought Hamlet stops to reconsider. What will happen when we have discarded all the hustle and bustle of life? The problem with the proposition is that life after death is unknown and could be worse than life. And now Hamlet reflects on a final end. Who would bear that when he could just draw a line under life with something as simple as a knitting needle — a bodkin?

And how easy that seems. Hamlet now lets his imagination wander on the subject of the voyages of discovery and the exploratory expeditions. Dying is like crossing the border between known and unknown geography. One is likely to be lost in that unmapped place, from which one would never return.

What's the meaning of the phrase 'To be or not to be, that is the question'?

The implication is that there may be unimagined horrors in that land. Hamlet now seems to make a decision. So with that added dimension the fear of the unknown after death is intensified. But there is more to it than that. Throughout the action of the play he makes excuses for not killing him and turns away when he has the chance. At the end of the soliloquy he pulls himself out of this reflective mode by deciding that too much thinking about it is the thing that will prevent the action he has to rise to. This is not entirely a moment of possible suicide. In this soliloquy life is burdensome and devoid of power.

In this soliloquy Hamlet gives a list of all the things that annoy him about life: Hamlet is the most frequently performed play around the world. It has been calculated that a performance begins somewhere in the world every minute of every day. It was built in by the Danish king, Eric of Pomerania. She first played Hamlet in What do you think of these soliloquy interpretations? Anyone else who should have made the top three? What does it really mean? Its the dilemma of accepting or refuting a pregnancy. Because you like making choices where people DIE?? Also because it's going to be great.

I've put a list of other things I've done above, offering them up as my Comedy Credentials, and hope that all these mostly-free content will encourage you to take a wee tiny risk on something that's not free. I've been insanely lucky to be able to make a living by being an online cartoonist and writer - one of the very few to live this awesome dream - and I'd like to keep producing cool things for awesome strangers.

Hopefully this experiment is a success! You look up from this webpage and decide that this book is definitely something you'd like to have in your life. You want to make something awesome happen. You click the "Back This Project" Button up at the top of the page and it feels - it feels good. In fact, nothing ever goes wrong for you again!!

I'm really excited and confident about this project.

The main challenge will be in corralling the artists to get the illustrations on time, and then producing the best possible book and rewards! This shouldn't be too hard, because as an artist, I know that all artists are incredibly reliable people who love meeting deadlines! Also if this is somehow not the case I will crack the whip on all slackers. Also, we've chosen fulfillment deadlines based on reasonable expectations of how things will go, but if it takes longer, we'll let everyone know and double-down on getting it done.

The difficulties in producing a physical book are well-known to me I've self-published several volumes of Dinosaur Comics and we're prepared for them. I feel confident that with your help, this is a Thing we can Make Happen!

Don't you want these on your skin? Don't you want these on your skin too? You'll be able to go through the story just by staring at your wall. That's what living is all about, my friend. That means two bookmarks, two copies of the prequel, twice the tattoos, and so on. I hope fighting over who gets the hardcover version will not destroy your friendship: You'll get 4 posters that combine, Voltron-style, to form a poster that is larger than your body in every dimension except thickness. Just don't make it a terrible subject "Sam eats poops, I saw it, I was there" and we'll be good.

You will have the power to create an actual comic on any topic you choose. This will make you a literal patron of the arts.

Also it would make a nice present for someone I'm pretty sure. Just tell me a bit about yourself and what sort of adventure you'd like to go on! You are now a patron of the arts with a custom minibook written about your wacky times! Put that on your epitaph, baby. This is a thing you can make happen.
