    “Oh no, nothing wrong… nothing wrong at all… move along, nothing to see here…”

    Poor woman! If she tells, will anyone believe her – or will she get put in a straitjacket?

    Aha, haven’t seen a soul. IDK if that was a pun but it amused me.

      Whether it was intended to be or not… it is smirk-worthy.

    I don’t know if they’re deviating or have a different version… Either way the nursemaid’s face is perfect in the last two panels.

      Or the missing eye. I mean, it’s apparently been weeks. How has no one noticed the Queen is missing an eye?

        It was considered perfectly normal for a woman not to be up and about until several weeks after childbirth. There was a ceremony — the churching — that was performed to give thanks for a woman’s survival, and it was supposed to be the first thing she did when leaving home after childbirth (it was dangerous not to, you might be taken by fairies), and it was done between 28 days and 42 days after birth.

          now see i knew why no one had noticed the eye just yet… though as king you’d think he’d be more persistent about seeing his wife. But yeah apparently the tub where the step mother left the body had magical body eating pixies.

            The stepmother is apparently a witch with enough power to enchant all the streams/springs in the forest to turn people into different animals (long-term, no less), and to cast an illusion over her daughter to make her look exactly like Jane, aside from the eye issue. Maybe she summoned a flock of evil crows to carry the body away. Maybe she turned the body into a mouse and put it in a mousetrap to be disposed of by the household staff. (Or maybe she just invested in a tarp, some rope, and information on the sewer system under the castle.)

              Naw. Back in t’old days, marrying a single parent gave you superpowers (but also mostly made you evil).

    Personally, I think that maid should start having cameos in every story where it’s feasible. It would be like playing ‘Where’s Waldo?’ except it’s ‘Where’s the Unbalanced Maid Who Really Didn’t have that Mental Trauma Coming to Her?’
    ….
    On second thought, maybe a shorter name is in order….

    I loved the “Didn’t see a soul” line. Made me smile.

    Poor maid though–I like her nonetheless.

    I wonder if the maid likes happy little bunnies with wiggly noses?
