A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a princess in a pink-and-yellow gown stands beside a small dark frog on a rock; the frog says, "Wait, Princess! I'm actually a prince turned into a frog!" Panel 2: a close-up of the princess looking intrigued, asking, "And if I marry you, you'll turn back into a man?" Panel 3: the frog, now drawn in green detail on its rock, replies, "No, but your father will secure a trade agreement for barley and cabbage." Panel 4: the princess, seen at a distance walking away from the tiny frog, says, "I'm not sure you're my type," and the frog calls after her, "Is a kingdom full of starving peasants your type? Huh?" Votey: an angry, shouting frog sitting on a lily pad declares, "I represent the proletariat, Princess!" The joke turns the fairy-tale frog prince into a political negotiator framing his appeal around economics and class.
