A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A bald man tells a red-haired woman, "Honey! Today, a genie gave me three wishes!" She replies excitedly, "Oh my god! Did you ask for a cure?" Panel 2: A silent close-up of the man's blank, neutral face. Panel 3: The man sheepishly holds out a stack of three movies to the woman; their spines read "Star Wars," "Empire Strikes Back," and "Return of the Jedi" — revealing he used his three wishes on the original Star Wars trilogy instead of curing her illness. Votey (a small black-and-white addendum panel): The man says, "I see your point, but they're really good movies."
