Transcript:
Boy: Let down your hair, fair maiden! Girl: Uh...why? Boy: So I can climb up there and rescue you! Girl: Oh, puh-leeze...how typical. Boy: Wait...what? Girl: Look, Prince Doofus...why is it you guys assume girls can't handle things on our own and need to be "rescued" all the time? Boy: Well, you're up there in a big, scary tower,so I just thought... Girl: You mean this tower with a satellite dish for TV and internet connection? Boy: Oh... So how do you survive up there alone? Girl: Oh, I see...you mean without the help of a man? Watch and learn, booger-brain... Jeffrey: I usually don't have a problem with the reboot of a classic fairy tale, but... Danae: Ok, ok...how about if I change it to King Doofus?

Iāve got some reservations about drones and pizzas but dragons seen perfectly fine.

Jeffrey, look, even if she doesnāt end up becoming the supreme ruler of the known universeā¦.Your still gonna want her on your side..Trust me on this oneā¦
Varnes almost 11 years ago
Is this the sweetest romance, or whatā¦.?
Varnes almost 11 years ago
BTW, have you looked at all the rocks and stones in the tower Miller drew for this one? Bravo, sirā¦

As long as she stays in the tower, the world is safe.
pcolli almost 11 years ago
And she built the tower all by herself, too?

Iām with Nabuquduriuzhur.When the truth is spoken, the PC crowd calls it misogyny. Sigh.
Not one place did Nabuquduriuzhur discount the horror of rape and other sexual assaults. He merely dismissed the overinflated statistics, blown up by this feminist-lead culture.
As for jenifer, your story IS unusual. Where in heck do you live and what are you doing so that someone attempts to rape you on a regular basis? Are you one of those people who go out late at night, through dark alleys with a outfit that basically says, āHey, look at me! Iām the sexy! I can present myself anyway I want, but you better not be looking at me! If you donāt have any money to offer me and Iām not interested.ā
FYI, Iām 50 and Iāve never even touched a woman, nor would I care to. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. And, I have lots of women friends. Think Iām misogynist? Think again. Think I belong with all the other men that you hate?MAJ

Many of us Americans are too heavy. This is a symptom of too much rich food, but it also goes with jocks who got hurt. Those that had active lifestyles and were hurt, have a very hard time keeping the weight off. We took it to the limit when we were younger(which the rest of the world did not). We are stronger as a nation than any other and have a can do attitude. We are not rapists in training, but we do have blood going through our veins, we would definitely like to be doing the prime directive(which is to make more human beings) Truth be known, women like this also. With the current teachings, some women feel that they did something wrong and end up with a āwas I raped?ā moment.
Rape is real, there are a lot of screwed up people out there, but there are women that are off also. They are told that they are āvictimsā, they are ready to believe it, even if they have to rewrite last nightās history.

I see Danae is actually using paper & pencil to write her story; guess her electronic punishment is still in effect, i.e.: no iPad or Kindle. Wonder if anyone else caught that??
Kali39 almost 11 years ago
Itās the ones that push into the main screen that really get annoying. You canāt always get rid of those with AdBlock since they are not technically pop-up ads. Somebody should instruct GoComics on the value of subtletyā¦
Kali39 almost 11 years ago
Danae ā letās wait a few years and see if you really mind being rescued by a handsome princeā¦

Jenifer, I wish there was something I could say ā I am so sorry for what youāve been through, and that it has been compounded by the trolls of denial.

I doubt she could string together one coherent sentence if her life revolves around internet and tv
Wiley creator almost 11 years ago
Seriously, folks? Youāre going to drag rape into this then somehow minimize it, all while attempting to put yourself in the victim role when youāre called out for your blatant mysonginy?
Perhaps I can help you out hereā¦real men arenāt afraid of strong women.
Ermine Notyours almost 11 years ago
The dragonās gay. Look, heās wearing purple.
Caddy57 almost 11 years ago
Danae can tear any man down with one look,one simple wordā¦ā¦at this rate she will be alone for a very long timeā¦.she better hope she can handle that!
neeeurothrush almost 11 years ago
itās more often about power and control than lust
pcolli almost 11 years ago
Men get raped, too.

@Alexikakos I like Munsch. I have to sneak in to the childrenās section and pretend Iām trying to pick out a book for a gift. .Maybe Danaeās dad should have her read āLove You Foreverā by Robert Munsch when sheās in one of her moods.
westny77 almost 11 years ago
Nice imagination. I like her thinking. She and Calvin should write a book together. I will be their first customer.
Varnes almost 11 years ago
Wiley, thanks for popping in once in a while. Which leads me to QuietDragonās comment. Without a strong woman next to you, how are you gonna know when youāre screwing up like you usually doā¦? Iām seriousā¦. I need a check on myself, and a weak woman just wonāt do. She has to be able to stand up to meā¦ā¦..Tell me when Iām wrong. Stop me before I do something stupidā¦.Those are the women I loveā¦

When the time comes, Danae would likely make any attacker āsteerā himself another direction, weeping at his loss. Then sheād settle back and enjoy her pizza, cookies, and TV. (And she probably wouldnāt need any 5 hour energy drink!)

If you think thatās bad you should look up when a father hacked his daughterās Donkey Kong game to make it so the princess saved Mario because she asked him to. She was 3. So many insecure males went ballistic, one even wishing the toddler dead so thereād be one less āfeministā in the world (naturally they confused feminism with gender since technically it would be her father who was feminist, assuming heād done so for political reasons than out of the love of a father for his little girl).

Bruno Zeigerts,L. Frank Baum was the man who wrote the 14 original Oz books, and he wrote of girls who were of strong character (Dorothy, Betsy Bobbin, Trot), but the boys in his stories had character defects (Ojo the Unlucky in The Patchwork Girl of Oz, Button Bright is always getting lost in The Road to Oz).

A woman should expect her man to be strong and rescue her when she needs help. A man should expect his woman to be strong and rescue him when he needs help. Gay men and women should expect this from their partners. We all need help from time to time, not because weāre weak, but thatās just the way life works. Be strong for the other, and if youāre sinking at the same time, cling together and form a life raft. Thatās why youāre both there.

How I wish somebody here would try to explain the Life-Cycle of Dragons and the Lores and Myth surrounding themā¦
