isn't she's
- 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 woule 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??
- Yous ain'ts goins nowheres
  
  You shouldn't've
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.
- It's a magic mirror from a fairy tale. It doesn't have any set rules other than what the story teller gives it.
  
  I know, that's what my "when have these things ever been static" was supposed to express.
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.
  
  Wassup
  Nothing much, I've had fun with your corpse for a while though so that was nice 😐
- 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.
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.
And then the AI made the text in the comic.
Did AI make the whole thing?
