163-Hansel and Gretel: Crumble

163-Hansel and Gretel: Crumble

There's a surprising amount to the story of Hansel and Gretel. There's your average fairy tale weirdness, like load-bearing cake and aquatic duck Uber, but there's an unexpected humanity in the story that I think is overlooked. I hope you like it.

The creature is punyaiama, from India, and she's the reason you can't get drunk in your own home.
