A cartoon webcomic. A crowned king and queen stand talking. The queen asks, "Honey, is it all over?" The king replies, "What?" He reminds her: "Remember when I was a frog and you kissed me and I turned into a prince?" She says, "Yeah?" He explains with growing dismay, "I was a frog for a long time, okay? A long, long, lonely time." A close-up shows the king's anguished face, and he confesses: "I owe child support to 1,000 offspring!!"
Votey (aftercomic, drawn in a rough black-and-white sketch style): The queen asks the wild-haired, weary-looking king, "Is that why you're always looking away longingly at the moat?" He snaps back defensively, "That is none of your affair!" The joke: as a frog the king fathered a thousand tadpole offspring and is now on the hook for child support, and he still pines for his amphibious life by the water.
