snow-white

An eight-panel SMBC comic retelling the Snow White poisoned-apple scene as a clash between an old-fashioned witch and a picky millennial/Gen-Z Snow White. A hooded witch eagerly offers an apple, urging Snow White to eat it. Snow White, instead of biting, interrogates the apple: she asks if it's a "Red Delicious," balks when the witch says it's the most popular type and will be "like, 90% skin," and is unmoved when the witch grumbles that it's all they had as a kid and they liked it fine. Snow White then asks whether it was produced in an industrial-style agricultural operation. The increasingly exasperated witch sighs and asks what she could possibly bring that Snow White will eat. Snow White lists demands: a local fruit that's also somehow a bit obscure, with its purchase tied to some vague promise of social or environmental benefit. The defeated witch says, "God I hate your generation." A caption notes this is a bonus comic for book buyers. In the votey, a close-up of the fed-up witch's face asks, "Where's my gun?"
