"Absolutely dreadful."

"DREADFUL?!"

"Wait, is that not a compliment? I meant it as a 'bad is good' sort of thing."

"Dreadful doesn't… I mean… I don't think…? Aw, heck. I don't know."

Commentary

I felt I had to callback the modesty joke in the previous comic, but I also wanted this moment. My solution was to make it so Princess Elliot's beauty only really hit Cinderella Tedd once eye contact was made.

Which I guess means this sort of happened:

(Sees Princess Elliot's figure) "ENVY!"

(Looks into Princess Elliot's face) "So pretty..."

Is that romantic? Maybe it's just a thing that technically happened. People can decide for themselves.
