A nine-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a leprechaun in green, caught by a child, says 'You've caught me, child! What is your one wish?' Panel 2: a smiling red-haired little girl replies 'I wish mommy and daddy were back together!' A banner reads 'And so...' and the comic cuts to the girl's divorced parents forced back together. The mother snaps 'But I hate you!' and the father, Robert, says 'Shutup or the leprechaun will kill us!' The two glare at each other, then trade bitter accusations across several panels: 'What was her name, Robert?' / 'What was his?' / 'You cheated first.' / 'You checked out of our marriage first.' / 'You refused to go to counseling!' / 'How could we on your salary? Huh?' In the final panel the leprechaun turns to the girl and asks 'Kid, you want a mulligan on that wish?' and she calmly answers 'Pony, please.' Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the little girl's face beneath her speech bubble, which now reads 'A vengeful pony, please.'
