Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella are fun, harmless children’s stories, right? Wrong!

Paul is off on a trip to Germany, where he learns that the tales we tell our kids are actually based on gruesome and unsettling yarns from the Brothers Grimm.

Grimm by name and grim by nature, as we discover tales of child abuse, attacks on women and sisters mutilating their feet to wedge them into glass slippers.

Don’t fret, though, this is our old friend Paul, and his hilarious sketches will keep you giggling through the shocking revelations.

Wait until you see his take on the woman in the magic mirror!
