“Born a Fool” Episode 3
If you are a new reader, you might want to subscribe to “Holiday Wars” as well as start reading it from the beginning.
In regards to April Fools (the real world holiday, not the character) no one really knows for sure where the holiday comes from. One of the leading theories is that when the calendar system changed people used to play pranks on those who got mixed up and continued to follow the old system. When doing research I realized the change occurred during Shakespeare’s lifetime and I knew right away I just had to do a story involving him.
This origin story has been really cool. So who is the father exactly? I suppose we'll get more back story on him as well in future Holiday's Past?
His name has been mentioned and if you didn't pick up the reference, then it will be elaborated next week on page 4, which will wrap this story.
I got his name "Robin Goodfellow" I was just wondering who he was exactly with his ability to put Shakespeare to sleep with that substance and the ability to generate a new Holiday. I can't wait for the upcoming strips to see a bit more of how things came to be.
Little April Fool is adorable.
