In the satirical fairy-tale comic Cinderoolala!, Cinderoolala is reimagined as a wisecracking 1950s heroine surrounded by a cast of exaggerated, comedic characters. Instead of a tragic Cinderella figure, Cindy is a slang-speaking “poor-type maiden” who endures the constant demands of her loud stepmother and her desperate, “mean-type” stepsisters. The story pokes fun at classic fairy-tale conventions through absurd humor and fourth-wall jokes, including one stepsister attempting to become the heroine simply because she “read the book.” Helping Cindy is a chaotic Fairy Step-Godmother whose unreliable magic produces mishaps like a cow-drawn “Cattle-lac” carriage after she runs out of pumpkins. The comic also features the accidental appearance of Rumpelstiltskin, a confused dwarf from another fairy tale who is quickly thrown out of the story. At the royal ball, the laid-back Prince Mintz falls for Cindy, though the story ends with her humorously complaining that the glass slippers hurt her feet. Framing the tale is Grandma Gruesome, whose sarcastic narration and cynical moral parody the cheerful lessons of traditional fairy tales.
