I really want to do something with some of Gunny Hartmann’s lines from Full Metal Jacket, but I’m having trouble coming up with good word substitutions. Also, I don’t think I can put most of those up on a family-friendly(ish) website.
“Today, you are no longer a [MAGGOT]. Today, you are a princess. You’re part of a sisterhood. From now on until the day you die, wherever you are, every Whimsy Princess is your sister. You will go into the Star Chamber. Some of you will not come back. But always remember this: Actors die. That’s what we’re here for. But the role lives forever. And that means YOU live forever.”
I wish there was a like button for this. Turned PG that speech from Full metal jacket starts reminding me of the St Crispin Day speech from Shakespeare’s Henry V

Except that a real princess would never mince; she would stride.
Stride imperiously! However this is Whimsey, our princesses are the passive type.
I suspect Whimsey princesses mince. On a good day they might even frolic.

You could try writing it as if Nick were saying them through his auto-censor. That would be farming hilarious!
You’re the kind of princess that would invite a man to tea without giving him the courtesy of a… Peachy scone?
Somebody help with this one.

First, calling back a few days … Jeff K, you were looking for the alternate version of “I’m Late”? You can find it here …
Now, for today’s strip …

Pinkies out! Buttocks sway!
I will teach you to sashay!
As the princess goes mincing along!
Perfect hands! Dainty feet!
You’ll be mother-@#$%ing sweet!
As the princess goes mincing along!
For it’s heigh-heigh-ho,
As we march on tippy-toe!
Sing out the sappy Whimsy song!
(TRA LA!)
Save the Little House!
Grab some tissues, stuff your blouse!
As the princess goes mincing along!
Why am I thinking of Miss Congeniality….
Not quite ten miles, but classic:
This isn’t boot camp, it’s pump camp!

Two points for that one.
It is said that Heaven and Hell are separated by only a matter of perspective.
This . . . , this is Tip’s perspective.
We’ve *all* had dreams that were exactly like that. It’s just that the rest of us don’t consider them good dreams.
This reminds me a lot of The best of Pixel-Maritan.
