A SMBC comic. A prince and a short dwarf in a tall red cap stand beside an unconscious blonde princess lying down. The prince explains a witch cursed her so only true love's kiss can wake her. He kisses her: 'Huh. Nothing happened.' The dwarf coolly says he was reading scientific articles arguing true love is ill-founded because it ignores growing together, and that the witch who laid the curse hadn't read the relevant sociological literature. The prince asks, exasperated, whether guys just come kiss the unconscious girl for no reason. The dwarf says people should think through curses more carefully, adding: 'like that lady who turned a prince into a beast seriously underestimated how many women are in the furry community.' Votey, captioned 'Shortly...': a close-up of a person happily kissing the snout of a furry beast creature.
