Description

Here is the transcription of the text from the comic titled "The Emperor's New Clothes":

The Emperor's New Clothes: A clever tailor convinced the king that only the wise would be able to see the garments he made.

So the emperor paraded down the city streets, not knowing he was completely naked.

Realizing his mistake, the emperor was greatly ashamed.

Epilogue: The following day, he assuaged his shame with gold, whores, and champagne.

The average peasant’s lifespan remained around 25.
