I love it when high-brow meets low-brow, as in these Shakespeare cocktail napkins from the early 60’s.
Each napkin takes a quote from one of Shakespeare’s plays and puts it in a modern context, illustrated with a corny cartoon.

I have many sets of these cocktail napkins with similarly great graphics and text but have never seen these Shakespearean ones. These are excellent! Contemporary pop-culture freak that I am I don’t actually think I ever got through a whole book by Shakespeare. This might be my speed learning course…

Doug, you always have the best kitsch.
Douglas Wood
Thanks, Denny. High praise coming from a guy who deserves a photo next to the kitschionary definition of “akitschianado.” (Okay, I know there’s no such thing as a kitschionary, but there SHOULD be.)

That’s almost what I called the kitschenette. AWMOk is definitely the kitschionary of the genre.
