An eight-panel SMBC comic. A knight asks a green-skinned witch in a pointy hat why she imprisoned a princess in a tower. The witch explains that in 'medieval fable times' every man is trying to get the princess pregnant and every woman is trying to eat her; a blond man and a red-haired woman pop out of the bushes confirming 'True!' and 'Guilty!' The witch adds that every short person is an evil fairy and every ugly person is literally Satan; two odd men appear, one saying 'I'm actually a gremlin,' the other 'I am, however, Satan.' The witch says the only responsible thing is to lock the princess in—then interrupts herself: 'HEY DAMMIT did he climb up your hair?' Cut to the tower window where the knight is already embracing the long-haired blond princess, who announces 'I am with child.' The fed-up witch yells 'It's been thirty seconds!' as the fork-wielding red-haired woman waits nearby. Votey (bonus panel): an extreme close-up of the witch's scowling face as she declares, 'I'm gonna eat your kids as a form of birth control.'
