These photographs by Dina Goldstein are great; I especially love the Rapunzel one.  There’s a short interview where the creator explains how her princess-obsessed daughter was her motivation behind the series.   I did several comic strips along the same line during my Six Chix days.  Here’s the title page from the chapter “Happily Ever After” in my book, Humor’s Edge:HumorsEdgeHappilyEverAfter
