Fairy Tale Sketch Challenge Day Nine – The Clever Servant
I seem to be making up for pulling top ten stories like Snow White and Hansel and Gretel on the first week with stories so obscure I had to reread them before starting the sketch. Today’s story, The Clever Servant is one of several of the Foolish Servant stories within the Grimm Brothers’ collection. (All of them come off as long-form variations of “My blank is so dumb” jokes) Most of the time they’re not quite as fun to do because they all seem to boil down into a single absurdist scene that doesn’t translate into a single static image as well as you’d think.
I think I centered the servant a little too much on this one in the process not giving the master and the cow as much room as they needed.
