Hamlet, Protests, Injuries, and Artists Doing Things.

Welcome to Friday’s This Week’s Edition of OUTLINED.

If you’re not already signed up, you can do that right here:

Hamlet.

Oh yes, we’re still on Shakespeare, which I fully realise I misspelled earlier this week about 2.5 seconds after I hit send out to a couple of thousand inboxes. Classic move by me.

Anyway, I was trying to find a way to use this guy again:

And so I went straight to one of the best-known Shakespeare scenes, ‘Alas, poor Yorick’ - AKA the ‘Guy talking to a skull’ scene.

Of course, at that point I realised I’m really just doing a joke about Hamlet rather than Shakespeare, so I wasn’t really reusing anything. But who cares, I was in it now…

I quite liked the above interrogation scene, but figured the scene preceding it might be a bit funnier.

Protests.

Urgh, yep - that horrible far right ‘free speech’ protest. Last week I saw multiple interviews of people at that protest, who all basically did variations of the following interview…

Injuries.

As someone who has the attention span of a hyperactive goldfish high on red cordial, I tend to have a very large pile of half-completed comics. Thankfully, since moving to a tablet, this pile is largely digital and therefore slightly easier to sift through.

Which is exactly what I did this week, subsequently finding some old work that I really should have stuck with.

This one, for instance, which I remember drawing after sustaining a knee injury while asleep.

I’m very sorry for not taking the time to draw that one up properly, but this is the all-new OUTLINED, and we do not care about such trivial things like ‘Quality’ and ‘Pride in our work’

Artists Doing Things.

Another project that I’ve had on the back-burner for I think about three years now is one called ‘Artists doing things’ and while the complete series will eventually be done, I thought I’d draw up one of my favourite ones this week…

ALSO! I finally remembered to do a screen record while I drew this one and so 44 minutes later, I ended up with not just the above comic but also a little process video.

Then, I sped it up significantly, popped some commentary over it, and now you can enjoy me talking and drawing way too fast!

And that brings us to the end of another week of OUTLINED!

Before I go, I should mention that I’m currently on the hunt for some new work, so if you’re someone in need of a comic, please do pop on ever to the recently renovated ChazHutton.com and check out some of my previous work there!

See you all next week!
