Morty Comix # 2467

Morty Comix # 2467 was placed inside a book with selected works of Marlowe and Shakespeare. I placed it on the page that had one of my fave quotes from Macbeth:

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The book was then returned to the shelves of the Sou'wester in Seaview, Washington

The last issue of this series was the most unusual, containing an unfinished version of Macbeth starring Morty the Dog. The little intro on the inside (just click on it a couple times to enlarge the text) explains the whole sad story, including Tim Corrigan's plans to publish it. For those of you who don't know this cartoonist and publisher Tim "Mightyguy" Corrigan I can attest he's a prince of a fellow, which seems like an appropriate tribute as long as we're talking Shakespeare! He's done an awful lot to promote self-published comics and has selflessly helped many other struggling cartoonists.

There are many times I have abandoned a comic after getting a few pages into it. This one might be one of the more involved pieces I tossed.
