A five-panel comic. Panel 1: a large blue bearded genie rises out of a hand-mirror held by a red-haired woman and booms, "I AM THE DICTIONARY GENIE! YOU MAY INVENT ONE NEW WORD!" Panel 2: the woman calmly spells out, "'H-O-A-M-U-H-P-H-O-N-E'. HOAMUHPHONE. IT'S A SYNONYM FOR HOMONYM" -- a deliberately confusing word for word. Panel 3: a close-up of the genie's face looking deeply unsettled and disturbed. Panel 4: the genie, now small, protests "NO" as the woman declares, "YOU'RE A MONSTER." Panel 5: the woman grins wickedly and says, "I'M JUST A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER WITH A SADISTIC STREAK." Votey: a simply-drawn smiling person adds, "ALSO KNOWN AS A VETERAN."
