Description

I feel like I say this a lot, but… this is probably the dumbest thing I have ever done. I can actually say that and mean it this time.

This is what happens when you have an idea for a comic but realize you don’t have the ability to really do what you want. I would have loved to draw cute caricatures of Miracle Max and Valerie from The Princess Bride, but I wasn’t going to be able to do it convincingly in such a small space; there’s just no way anyone would be able to recognize them. But I had already committed to the idea, and so I decided to do a really bad cut-and-paste job instead. I don’t know if that makes it funnier or not, but I did what I set out to do.

Parts 1 and 2:

The lines are so iconic, I'd honestly say you wouldn't even need the pics, or caricatures, or anything.  We'd all get it.

I find that whenever I allude to something from the 80s, the youngsters in the audience have no idea what I'm talking about. Not that this solves he problem. This only makes it weirder. :laughter:

Even better than that time Superman covered that Fairy in chocolate.

The faces and quotes are from "The Princess Bride."

Then there's some "Peter Pan" with Tinkerbell.
And "Legend of Zelda" franchise with the fairies in bottles.

...And also Walt and Jaime the codpiece faeries from my old strip Vampiric Minority. Lots of references in this one.

It looks like Winslow superimposed the images himself so as to cover up the stupid faces he's making while making the references.
