A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a knight with red hair and a yellow scarf calls out, "Princess! I see you are locked in the tower! Yet you have managed to look hygienic and hot somehow!" Panel 2: a blonde princess sits in a small tower window saying, "Yes! Help, Sir Knight! Save me!" Panel 3 pulls back to reveal the "tower" is actually a glowing lure on a stalk, dangling just above the enormous toothy mouth and single eye of a dragon that resembles an anglerfish lurking in the dark. The princess urges, "A little closer, hurry, before the dragon returns!" -- she is the bait, like an anglerfish's lure. Votey panel: hand-drawn text reading "(Later it turns out the knight is also part of a large anglerfish-like creature)," implying the knight is himself a lure for another predator.
