Description

Here’s a detailed transcription of the comic:

Panel 1:

• Character 1 (looking through a telescope): "In a lot of movies now, they have the princess character doing important stuff, instead of just getting saved."

Panel 2:

• Character 2 (arms crossed, slightly frustrated): "Great. Now it's the girls who are subtly legitimizing a system of hereditary aristocracy."

Panel 3:

• Character 2 continues: "How nice that they can have charming little adventures, eating the fruit of the farmer's sweat, and dwelling in the monument of the laborer's toil."

Panel 4:

• Character 1: "I think the princess in Beauty and the Beast started life as a peasant."
• Character 2 (with a serious expression): "Class traitor!"

The background indicates a starry night sky. The characters have cartoonish features and expressive postures.
