Everyone: edits text, doesn't proofread it afterwards
Everyone Else: you left an artifact in there bro.
I of course make grammar mistakes and typos when messaging/commenting from my phone, but I can’t imagine creating and posting something with a mistake like this.
10-15 years ago this would have been something to ridicule and downvote, and now most people don’t even seem to care anymore.
…woule
Full disclosure: You'll notice an edit on my parent. I originally submitted isnt. No one is immune from the curse.
Not everyone speaks English as their first language.
Is nis she tis fortten??
we normalized typos as a society. And, tbh, if not for the comments, I wouldn't have noticed. I read the comic, I understood it, I didn't see the typo. So, no harm done, and, therefore, no reason to complain?
Yous ain'ts goins nowheres
You shouldn't've
That don't sound like no proper grammar to me.
while the queen escapes punishment for emplooying child labour?
Well yeah, she's rich
And white
Yes.
I choose to believe there is a lot more to the magic object than the truth or it's own will. It's a mirror after all, what you see depends on who stands before it. If you ask to see beauty and the reflection shows how you compare to a 14 year old, that's on you.
Then again, when have these things ever been static. Shrek's iteration has it's own will.
Fun fact! In the original Disney film she never says 'mirror mirror...', she says 'magic mirror...'
Another fun fact: in Grimms fairy tales, the original story, she says mirror mirror. Also snow white was 7 when the mirror took a liking to her.
The prince also liked her corpse so much he just wanted to carry it around in it's glass coffin, but didn't want to kiss it. They drop her corpse while carrying it around and make her spit out the poisoned apple, so she revives.
"Wassup?"
Which is extra creepy when you read Neil Gaiman's (adult) version of Snow White (Snow, Glass, Apples).
Wassup
Nothing much, I've had fun with your corpse for a while though so that was nice 😐
And she says"who's the fairest of them all" not the hottest.
The original German wording is "Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand: wer ist die schönste Frau in dem ganzen Land?". Literally translated that would be "Mirror, mirror on the wall: who is the most beautiful woman in all the land." I would let "hottest" slide as a more contemporary translation.
*"Who is the fairest one of all"
🤓☝️
There's an NPR episode of Code Switch on the subject:
The Queen and Snow might want to reconsider their foundation shade. Just sayin’…
Lead just gives the perfect deathly white hue
Reading the comments I just realized how much I like literature nerds.
How old is the mirror?
Probably ancient if it's a magic mirror. Also in the original story, snow white is 7 at this time, not 14.
That said, "hottest" is something this comic came up with, I'm pretty sure it's not about sexually attractiveness in the original
It's "fairest," right? So maybe the mirror just saw her doing stuff like meticulously cutting a cake into evenly-sized pieces instead of portioning out bigger ones for herself and her cronies. That'd be plausible for a 7 year old.
The bear from "The bear and the maiden fair" disagrees.
Why can't magic be new?
Why is the perspective in the final frame taken from inside of the jail cell? Are we the viewer also in jail? Shouldn't we be viewing it behind bars from the other side? What did we the viewing audience do? Are we culpable since just by viewing this?
What do you think happens when you sneak into the Queen's bedroom to watch her talking to her mirror.
You’re in jail too because you agreed that Snow White is a fine piece of ass
And then the AI made the text in the comic.
Did AI make the whole thing?
