I drew this comic where I drew at least 70% of R+B comics, in the Daily Cougar news room at the University of Houston. I didn't have access to the computers to digitally input a bit of randomly found prose, so I snipped and taped text from a passage provided in my psychology of folklore class. The original story is a Russian folktale called "The Maiden Tsar" that's quite popular with folk tale professors. It's a pretty good read, as far as old fairy tales go, and you can read the original transcript here: http://bit.ly/fcwrWG If you're interested in the academia behind a story like this, do check out this New York Times book review: http://nyti.ms/eyV3S1
How about some commentary along with all of this classic R+B?
