A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A woman with curly hair excitedly tells a small girl, "Sally! A shooting star! Make a wish!" Panel 2: A man notices something wrong and says, "I... the shooting star is turning. It's coming right at us." Panel 3: The man, now panicked and clutching the little girl, shouts, "Sally! Change the wish! CHANGE THE WISH!" Panel 4: A massive yellow explosion fills the panel with the sound effect "BOOM" — Sally's wish apparently brought the star crashing down on them. The joke: a child's wish on a shooting star literally summons the star as a devastating impact. Votey (aftercomic): an extreme close-up of a blond child's face wearing a flat, deadpan, unimpressed expression.
