a wish-granter that doesn’t answer wishes?

So in practice, it granted the same wish as in the previous strip

Should have wished for the million dollars first.

A million doesn’t go far these days. I’d go for at least 20.

I’d say that a real Genie would use the same excuse to get out of wish granting.

I wish, I wish, I wish I was a fish…

Conditions apply. Didn’t reads the fine print eh.

Also known as the ‘Politician effect’, where you can believe what you want, whether they deliver…

Cliff already had plenty of wishes. So the wish-granter didn’t really grant him that. It’s in breach of contract.

“I wish your wish granter was really bad at math”“OK, but now it says you only have 9 wishes left”

So all the wish-granter does is to grant you the “privilege” of making a wish: it doesn’t provide answers, it doesn’t fulfill wishes. And this is something someone couldn’t do before … because … ?

Your wish will be granted in 30 years with steady savings and wise investments. What? Didya think I was just gonna GIVE it to ya?

Hmm needs some adjustments….with a hammer

Ah, Mel. It did answer. It said “no!”

“What’s the name of this Wish-Granter?”

“Monkey’s Paw.”

“Uh-Oh…”

“Wish in one hand, sh.t in the other and see which one fills up faster.”

Doh!

Scammer get scammed

“I wish for the power to grant my own wishes.”
