Panel one of a six panel fan art Sofia the First comic. Queen Miranda smiles as she looks down at her stepchildren Amber and James. They look at up at her with mistrust and apprehension. Amber asks “So you're definitely not going to be an evil stepmother like the ones in fairytales?” Miranda replies “Yes, I'll be good.”

There is a speech bubble with James’s face at the top of the panel to indicate he is talking, and at the bottom of the panel there is a speech bubble with Miranda's face indicating that she is talking. In the middle there is a crudely drawn imagined scene of a scared Amber and James in the middle of a dark spooky forest surrounded by evil looking eyes and a mean looking tree glaring at them from the darkness on the left side, and a gingerbread house on the right. James asks: “So, if we ran out of food, you wouldn't convince our dad to abandon us in the woods with no way home?”
Miranda replies: “No, I would not. And if we were low on food, you could have mine.”

There is a speech bubble with Amber’s face at the top of the panel to indicate she is talking and at the bottom of the panel there is a speech bubble with Miranda's face indicating that she is talking. In the middle there is an imagined picture of a cauldron filled with boiling red liquid with a small human hand visible in the liquid. On the right side of the panel there's an arm holding a bowl full of the same red liquid with a small bone sticking out of it. Amber asks: “Speaking of food, you would never cook us in a stew and feed it to our loved ones, right?” Miranda replies “No! Absolutely not! What kind of fairytales have you been reading?!”

James is smiling brightly while giving a big thumbs up and is holding up a green book that says Grimm on the cover. He says: “The Grimm ones!”

There is an imagined scenario of amber and James wearing worn out looking peasants’ clothes while crying. James is holding a rag as he mops the floor while Amber is holding a bucket full of bubbles. Amber from off screen says, “Final question worst possible scenario, would you ever dress us in servant clothes and force us to do chores?”

Miranda looks very concerned and is holding her hands together as she grimaces. Amber is holding her fan partially in front of her face while giving Miranda a severe side eye. James is distracted by trying to balance the book on his nose and is smiling. Miranda says “No, and are you sure that's the worst scenario of the three?” Amber replies “Absolutely. Without a doubt.”

This comic is brought to you by: me rereading the Brothers Grimm and remembering how horrifying “The Juniper Tree” is. (Also “Hansel and Gretel” is pretty messed up too, but still).
