Relative to what? It\'s already over 3 years old and it\'s getting less and less relatively new as the time goes by, so I\'m just taking that bit out now.


The comic is relatively new but is already chock full of fairy tale references ranging from the [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardofOz obvious]] to the [[Creator/HansChristianAndersen obscure]]. Now has a [[{{Characters/Namesake}} Character Sheet]].
