tangled-2
Explanation
This comic is a parody of the fairy tale "Rapunzel" (and its Disney adaptation "Tangled"). A knight arrives at a tower to rescue a princess, declaring he must climb her hair to reach her. The princess pushes back, pointing out that he could just use the door, but the knight insists on the traditional hair-climbing method, saying it's "like climbing a rope that's been dipped in grease."
The princess then challenges the premise of the rescue entirely, noting that there are ways to meet girls that don't involve "evil sorcery or nothing." The knight reveals he is a "registered terrible" person -- someone so guaranteed to be awful that the princess would be better off marrying him, playing on the fairy tale trope that the rescuer automatically deserves the rescued person's love. The joke lands in the final panel, where the princess recoils at his supposedly heroic quest, recognizing that his "no evil sorcery or nothing" ultimatum is itself a red flag. The comic satirizes the entitled "nice guy" mentality embedded in many classic fairy tale rescue narratives.
