Panel 1 (single panel):
A person with red/blond hair, wearing a red cape, is climbing up the outside of a tall stone tower using a rope that hangs from an arched window near the top.
Unseen speaker (from the window above, dialogue from inside the tower): HEY, WHAT'RE YOU IN HERE FOR ANYWAY?
Climbing person (the princess): EMBEZZLEMENT, WHY?
Caption (below the panel): How come nobody ever asks WHY the princess is in the tower?
Votey:
A roughly sketched scene. A speech bubble points off-panel: PROMISE TO STOP? Another reply bubble: SURE, BABY.

A single-panel comic shows a person with red-blond hair in a red cape scaling the sheer outer wall of a tall stone tower, gripping a rope that dangles from an arched window at the top. From the window an unseen voice asks, "Hey, what're you in here for anyway?" The climbing princess answers, "Embezzlement, why?" A caption beneath reads: "How come nobody ever asks WHY the princess is in the tower?" The joke flips the fairy-tale rescue trope by implying the imprisoned princess is a convicted criminal. Votey (aftercomic): a loose sketch with two speech bubbles, one asking "Promise to stop?" and a reply, "Sure, baby."
