A four-panel comic. A grinning green genie looms over a worried man. Panel 1: the genie announces, "BEHOLD! I AM A REVERSE GENIE," and declares it is taking three of the man's wishes instead of granting them. Panel 2: the genie says the man's wish for meaningful employment is gone, and that he will settle for a stable partner instead of one who rouses his passion. Panel 3: the man protests "YOU CAN'T!" while the genie cackles that his sex dreams will be just a little smaller than the average for his time and location. Panel 4: the man says "THIS IS A NIGHTMARE," and the genie replies, "WAIT TILL YOU REALIZE THAT IT PROBABLY WOULD'VE HAPPENED ANYWAY." Votey: a black-and-white close-up of the man asking, "WAIT, DO I GET THE REVERSE OF THOSE WISHES?" An off-screen voice answers, "NOPE."
