The Illustrated Beowulf by Jake has been restored to this site. The parody provides a student’s perspective on the poem and the project assignment from hell. The result is way too funny to leave out, even though half the students who view it will be too young to remember the "stars" of the retold story. The cast includes Bill Clinton, Pope John Paul II, the Cookie Monster, and other key figures from 1998. I promise it will have you rolling on the floor laughing.
I temporarily deleted this gem when I moved my Beowulf web pages into WordPress because it involved recreating and updating 20 pages with legacy HTML code. It was worth it, but took two mugs of Starbucks Sumatra to accomplish.
Enjoy!
