In April, 2014, the world celebrated the 450th birthday of noted playwright William Shakespeare - whose body of work includes "Hamlet", "Macbeth", and "Romeo & Juliet".
As 'sweeps month' (May, 2014) continues, I have my own way of celebrating the occasion, by drawing an anthropomorphic variation of Shakespeare (a fox, complete with beard, mustache, and bald head), whose own body was worked on by the massive amount of foods he had already consumed!
In this case, I came up with an apropos parody of a restaurant chain - called "Steak 'N Shakespeare" - in my latest "EFF" comic gag. Naturally, this strip comes complete with a variety of puns, spoofing classic cliches from a number of plays; See how many you can recognize (and which plays said puns came from)...

He. Well, the lines are easy enough. Starting with the word balloons:
"Is this a dagger I see before me?" -- partial quote from MacBeth, MacBeth
"Lord, what fools these mortals be!" -- Puck, A Midsummer Night's Dream
"A rose by any other name..." -- Juliet, Romeo and Juliet
"Et tu, Brute?" -- Ceasar, Julius Caesar
"To be or not to be?" -- Hamlet, Hamlet
The turkey, of course, gets a steal from the common title of Shakespeare: The Bard of (Stratford-on-)Avon.

Good work, Wanderwolf! I'm surprised that you'd overlooked the Steak 'N Shakespeare slogan (in the logo) that reads: The Original "Merchant of Wieners" - a (word)play on the title of the play "The Merchant of Venice" (a pun originally uttered by Groucho Marx, back in the late 1920s)... and, since this is also a restaurant parody, don't even get me started on William's main competition, Sir Francis Bacon!
