Panel 1: A blonde woman in ragged clothes kneels scrubbing the floor of a shabby room. A knock comes from a round-windowed door.
Sound effect: "KNOCK KNOCK"
Panel 2: She opens the door to a smiling man dressed as a prince/superhero — purple tunic, yellow tights, red cape — holding something delicately in his hands.
Panel 3: Close-up of the woman in profile, smiling, as a hand presents an item to her (the fitting of the slipper implied).
Panel 4: Caption: "THE FOLLOWING DAY..." The same caped prince stands smiling behind a low stone wall or barricade, holding his red cape.
Panel 5: Wide shot from behind the prince, who looks out over an enormous crowd of women stretching into the distance. Hanging signs label sections of the crowd by shoe size:
Sign: "SIZE FIVES"
Sign: "SIZE SIXES"
Sign: "SIZE SEVENS"
Votey:
The prince holds a megaphone up to his mouth, speaking through it.
Prince (via megaphone): "You are special to me!"

A Cinderella parody. Panel 1: a ragged blonde woman scrubs the floor of a shabby room when a knock sounds at the door ("KNOCK KNOCK"). Panel 2: she opens it to a smiling prince in a purple tunic, yellow tights, and red cape, holding something carefully. Panel 3: close-up of the woman smiling as the item is presented to her, evoking the slipper fitting. Panel 4: captioned "THE FOLLOWING DAY," the prince stands behind a low stone wall holding his cape. Panel 5: a wide view from behind him reveals a vast crowd of women filling the frame, sorted under hanging signs by shoe size: "SIZE FIVES," "SIZE SIXES," "SIZE SEVENS" — the slipper fits thousands, not just one. Votey: in rough sketch style, the prince raises a megaphone and announces, "You are special to me!"
