I'm going to try to do a storytime for the first time! strap in for a fairy tale about a very unconventional couple!
The prince and the dressmaker storytime

This was actually quite good even if it is woke af. I think ANYONE thinking of starting a comic should absolutely read this because it’s story is good with remarkable economy. I think the majority of writer/artists who tried to tell this story would spend hundreds of pages only to get a quarter of the way the original comic did. It’s a masterclass in pacing and streamlining even if you hate the subject matter.
i just realised a lot of this is pretty bad quality when converted the image, but the archive in the mega is down unfortunately
sidenote, this is apparently being made into a musical by universal pictures with songs by the people who made the music for frozen. i would be lying if i said this news does not make me seethe with jealousy.
Seethe? Why? This should be proof that a comic could be optioned for adaptation. And you don’t even need to make a very long multi-year running comic either. Is this supposed to be a broadway musical or a film? I could see it working for Broadway, theatre fans live pretty costumes and the story is simple enough that it wouldn’t get butchered in adaptation.
Good luck user.
