A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a bearded genie with crossed arms hovers over a green Tyrannosaurus rex and declares, "T REX! YOU MAY HAVE ONE WISH!" The startled T. rex says "GASP!" Panel 2: the T. rex, alone, wishes: "I WISH T REXES WOULD SPEND MUCH LESS TIME IN SELF-GRATIFICATION!" Panel 3: the blue genie sits looking uneasy and asks, "ARE... ARE YOU SURE?" Panel 4: a tiny turtle stands on rocky ground surrounded by dark looming shadow figures, while the genie's voice says, "USE ANY MEANS NECESSARY" -- implying the wish to reduce T. rex self-gratification will be granted by wiping the species out, leaving small turtles to evolve. Votey: a worried cartoon dinosaur head with gritted teeth despairs, "LIFE IS POINTLESS NOW. LET US LEAVE THIS PLANET TO THE APES."
