Typo! Bottom panel right! Bridge=\=bride…
Ooh, thanks for that! I’ll get on it right away XD
Now he’s going to get worried. Either there’s something WRONG with this lady or she’s not the woman he married at ALL.
Wow…she is pretty ugly! I love this fairy tale, it was always one of my faves. XD
I kinda feel bad for her. It must suck to think yourself so hideous that you avoid standing at your own wedding out of embarrassment and cover your face all the time. Sad part is she wouldn’t even be that ugly if she’d just plucked her brow or something..
Yeah, in the second panel she’s kind of pretty. If she would just shave the eyebrow.
Or smile at all…
Whoops
You know, she’d be really pretty if she fixed them eyebrows! :)
Being less of a high-nosed nag would help infinitely too. :3 Pretty women are only beautiful when they’ve got good character.
you speak truth here phoebe :)
It’s “them there eyebrows”. Learn proper ingles ;P
Woah, sorry there, I really do know how to speak proper english, lol, I live in the country and thats how my neighbors talk, so I pick it up sometimes :)
hmmm so that is how guys decide who the one they want to marry :P
Lol, someone doesn’t know how to put on makeup….
Other than that, omg this is getting close to my favortie part!!!!!! <3
Have you ever read ‘A Book of a Thousand Days’ by Shannon Hale? That was also inspired by Grimm’s story of Maid Maleen . I muts say, the artwork on this is gorgeous!
For some reason the thought, “Clearly it’s not her, she wouldn’t take the time to curl her hair before bed” keeps coming to mind. XD
I also feel badly for the deceptive “bride”. She clearly wants a lifetime of happiness with the prince but feels too ugly to let it happen. Maybe she is such a jerk because she’s been mistreated her whole life due to her ugliness.
Your only at ugly as you think yourself to be, if she was to smile and enjoy live, then she could find a man no problem. … that and may-haps a bit of wax would help.
‘We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she’s young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb’
‘You’re as beautiful as you feel’ is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Women do not think they are ugly unless they are told so, repeatedly, and mistreated for it.
Self-esteem isn’t a light-switch, and pretending it is is self-righteous and silly.
Asking ‘Why can’t you think you’re pretty?’ to a person with body issues is about as nonsensical as asking a person with clinical depression ‘why can’t you be happy’, or asking a person with an inferiority complex ‘why can’t you understand you’re just as good?’.
Also, wrong ‘your’. It’s ‘you’re’.
To the author of this comic -great job, I just found it and I love it.
“I never met a dame yet that didn’t know if she was good-looking or not without being told, and there’s some of them that give themselves credit for more than they’ve got.” – Stanley Kowalski, “A Streetcar Named Desire”
Nothing like a (rapist) male character in a play written by a man to understand female psyche.
oh, stanley is terrible, but for the most part he’s right, there
If the prince was truly intelligent, then he would realize that her hair color and style is different.
