Cinderella - 22 - HD
A royal assignment - At egscomicsThe next EGSNP after this will be next Thursday! I have important behind the scenes things to do, like planning! And sleep! And designs! And sleep! And editing! And sleep!CommentaryPrince Elliot! He's a prince and he's Elliot! Also, he has a sister! She's good friends with someone! Who could it possiblyNanase. She's with Nanase.As for the next EGSNP being next Thursday, I needed to take a short bre...
Cinderella - 21 - HD
Accepting a Helping Hand - At egscomicsAnd now Tedd can throw lift and throw rocks! But their regular attacks still do the same amount of damage, making it clear that they're not actually stronger.CommentaryAnd though not everything was perfect, they lived reasonably happy ever after.What? That's not the end? There's still something with a prince? And a ball? And more magic not in the original Cinderella that inspired this?oh carp I&#...
Cinderella - 20 - HD
Who deserves kindness - at egscomicsAnd who deserves a flying upside-down spin kick? Pretty sure no one deserves the latter, to be honest. Maybe they deserve a kick, but a flying upside-down spin kick is way too specific.Commentary"But what if someone's 'need' is boots to better kick puppies, or--"NO. SHAME ON YOU, HYPOTHETICAL PERSON I JUST MADE UP! You are nitpicking the letter, and not the spirit, of what's being said.G...

Cinderella - 19 - HD
Fairy privilege - At egscomicsBeing able to fly around without jetpacks is just one of many ways in which fairies have privilege.CommentaryMost subtle thing I've ever written, right here.
Cinderella - 18 - HD
If you can't be talked out of it... - At egscomics...Then I'll INTERPRETIVE DANCE YOU OUT OF IT! Look at this! And this! And I don't actually know what I'm doing. Does this thing I'm doing with my foot convey self care?CommentaryA magic bracelet made from flowers by the fairy godmother was TOTALLY a thing in the 1697 Cinderella!NOTE: A magic bracelet made from flowers by the fairy godmother was definitely not a thing in the 16...
Cinderella - 17 - HD
Doing what they can - At egscomicsI'm pretty tired right now, and I can't think of anything relevant to put here, so I dunno. Do you think glitter from fairy wings tastes like candy, or is that, like, sparkly dandruff?Commentary"Yay, I get to be useful! And looking tired all the time gives me an aura of gravitas!""It honestly just makes you look tired.""zzz...""...Cinderella?"I swear this is all still inspi...
Cinderella - 16 - HD
Wicked Motherly Guidance - At egscomicsWhat? No, not EVIL guidance. I'm saying it's totally gnarly, dude, for sure.CommentaryCriticize Bishop all you want, but dancing while balancing a book on your head would certainly help someone stand out.Cooking!Me when writing this: "What else might Sarah think to suggest? Cooking? Wait, that might actually make sense. Who doesn't want a partner who can cook?"Another part of my brain: &#...
Squirrel Appreciation Day
Oh right the comic is 23 today.Which ALSO means it's SQUIRREL APPRECIATION DAY! WOO! 🎉🐿️(Not even kidding. By the largest of coincidences, my comic's anniversary is on the same day as Squirrel Appreciation day.)

The objectives of stepmother Bishop - At egscomics"Let's get down to business..."Commentary"Be the best YOU you can be! No, not that you."--More comics at egscomicsin partnership with Hiveworks

Wake up, Cinderella! - at egscomics"You've slept for a thousand years!" "I wasn't actually asleep. I was just resting my eyes a little." "Let me have my fun."CommentaryGASP!Also, if anyone asks, this scene was totally in the original 1697 story.(It most definitely wasn't in the original 1697 story.)--More comics at egscomicsin partnership with Hiveworks
Next Story Page Monday
Next story comic Monday because I underestimated how busy I’d be on Thursday.I apologize for not accepting this delay as inevitable, and not announcing this sooner.I very much didn't want to delay the comic again, especially since writing isn't a factor this time.The temptation exists to try and stay up late, but I have to wake up early tomorrow and drive somewhere, so I genuinely have to be well-rested.Also I guess something-something ...
Cinderella - 13 - HD
Chill uneventful nap time under a tree - At egscomicsIt cannot possibly be in doubt that this comic will be uneventful.Commentary- Someone other than his father to talk to...With the benefit of over three hundred years of hindsight and nitpickery, I did the unthinkable:I foreshadowed the Fairy Godmother.(AKA Hope.)This unthinkable "so this modern author thinks they know better" choice is sure to enrage millions.--More comics at egscomicsi...

Saving Face- At egscomicsMeanwhile, at the legion of maximum evil and the doing of bad things...CommentaryDOES THEIR WICKEDNESS KNOW NO BOUNDS?!--More comics at egscomicsin partnership with Hiveworks
Cinderella - 11 - HD
Tedd of cinder - At egscomicsTedds of cinder don't have really cool boss music, but there could be some birds singing nearby. This is Cinderella, after all.CommentaryTITLE DROP!Cinderwench is actually from an English translation of the original French version by Charles Perrault. Also from the original is one of the sisters, the younger one, thinking that was too mean, and changing it to Cinderella.Which, I suppose, confirms Ashley as the you...
Next Story Page Monday
I wound up doing a lot of rewriting of what comes next, and while I'm happy with what I have now, I'm nowhere close to having a finished page for tomorrow.My apologies for the delay.This delay was most definitely not influenced by time lost to slipping on ice yesterday, doing things about said ice, staying up late due to a malfunctioning dishwasher, being tired and sore today, or fighting off a literal gremlin....Okay, fine. That part abo...
Cinderella - 10 - HD
"I can handle lots of extra work OH NO IT'S MAKING ME TIRED SOMEHOW" - at egscomicsNot that I've ever impulsively / compulsively taken on way more than I could handle only to regret it later. I would never.CommentaryBut I'm sure the main canon Bishop is much nicer.Honestly, this is the sort of twisted manipulation I myself have difficulty getting through in stories (angries up the blood, it does), so please believe me when I s...
Cinderella - 09 - HD
Not at all wickedly motivated - At egscomicsI don't intend to change up the preview image text all the time (particularly if there's tone clash), but the amount of negative space created by height difference BEGGED for it here.CommentaryIn the animated Disney version of Cinderella, the father had passed on by the time the real story began. This is a change from the original in which the father was alive, and basically did nothing but marr...
Next EGSNP Tuesday
(Repeated from today's story commentary)The next EGSNP will be Tuesday. I didn't get the rest I needed over the holidays due to external factors, and I've been trying to pretend that I did. That has really not gone well, and I need to actually catch up on sleep.Also, I think I can write the next bit better, but that goes hand-in-hand with the sleep thing.
Cinderella - 08 - HD
Cinderella assessment - at egscomicsDoes not have the fire powers one would expect, zero out of ten, would not recommend.CommentaryWhen looking up how to refer to their sleeves in that fancy fashion bookI got, I discovered that "Bishop sleeves" are a thing, and I failed to give them to Bishop.I apologize for this obvious failure, and a future outfit will correct this.Speaking of Bishop, to answer several people (or possibly the same perso...
Cinderella - 07 - HD
Wicked Stepsisters - At egscomicsLast chance to guess who this wicked siblings will be! I mean, if you see this as part of preview text with a preview image that doesn't reveal it, and haven't seen the comic yet.CommentaryOf course!It was never in doubt!I debated whether to say their names because not a single person's actual name is given in the Charles Perrault version of Cinderella that inspired this. People are identified descript...

Cinderella-Tedd! Except not "Cinderella" yet - at egscomicsSomething something witty joke I'm blanking on what to put here so I'm just typing so y'all can have the announcement of a new EGSNP ASAP OK? Okay.CommentaryAh, that second sentence... Ha ha ha the memories they burn...ANYWAY! I've struggled a bit with deciding on outfits for this storyline, and might wind up making more Anachronistie And Finch jokes to make it see...
Cinderella - 05 - HD
The most romantic of proposals - At egscomicsMost of the commentary is repeated from something I said in a couple places elsewhere already, but I PROBABLY should have saved "yes, Bishop is that tall" comments for, well, commentary. CommentaryAt a minimum, their marriage is being handled this way because I wanted the stepmother to be Bishop, and I'm pretty sure either of these two falling in love with the other would be a reality-destr...
Next story page Monday
There’s something I want to write better, I’m too tired from a lack of sleep, and something personal has come up that’s going to eat up my time.My apologies for the delay.
Cinderella - 04 - HD
In search of a wicked stepmother - At egscomicsWho oh WHO could it possibly be?! (I say that as though it should be obvious, but I actually have no idea if anyone would have reasonably called it.)CommentaryOh HI, Agent Bishop! Er, Lady Bishop? Something Bishop. How's it going?I think this is the closest my story gets to having something similar to what was invented for the animated Disney version?In Perrault's Cinderella, there is a "...
End of Month Poll Survey
Just wondering what characters one might want to see on the end of month poll, and what sort of forms / situations people would be interested in.📝 Suggestions can be as simple as which characters you'd like to see, or could include forms / transformations.➡️ Please keep any suggestions very simple.Anything I go with will have poll options, so specifics will be up in the air anyway.Like, "AJ turned into a small goblin matriarch&...

Epic Marriage Proposal - At egscomicsI'm taking the 25th and 26th off from posting comics this year (meaning I won't be working on Christmas or Christmas Eve).CommentaryAnd so concludes the Rhodopis segment!Up next: The parody of Cinder--Wait, I just received a note from myself.Uh-huh. Mm-hm. Really? Huh.I've just been informed by myself that I'm not sure I can actually call my Cinderella story a parody!Is that ominous? Maybe it&#...

Look! A Catalina! - At egscomicsSomething something clever commentary that's unaffected by how tired I azzzzzzCommentary"And that's how I met your mother."A more accurate version would have had the sandal simply landing on the king's lap, but no.Sandal to the face.Catalina's not wearing much of anything fancy, but I wasn't entirely sure what would be fitting, accurate, and/or potentially disrespectful, and I wanted Cat...
Cinderella - 001
CINDER... Ella? - At egscomicsBe prepared for me to be a total dork in the commentaries. More than usual, I mean.CommentaryAnachronistie and Finch also sold violins in Ancient Greece.Rhodapis?Like the narration says, this part is inspired by a paragraph in a VERY old geography book by a geographer named Strabo, so it will NOT take long. It was written either VERY late BC, or VERY early AD.It is arguably the earliest "Cinderella" story on ...
