Monty by Jim Meddick for October 07, 2022

With friends like that who needs enemies?

A wish wasted. :-(

It’s just a gag.

Whoops!!

now E.B or Moondog will have to waste 1 of their wishes to ungag Moondog, good job Monty you twit!

It’s an old trick, but it work every time.

Thinking of one person…

now wait a minute… his friend gets three wishes too.

They didn’t read the fine print on the bottom of the bottle.

I saw a filmed version of an old joke, where (short version here) three guys marooned on a desert island came upon a magic lamp. The genie offers them one wish each. Guy #1 wishes he was in Paris, voom, he is. Guy #2 wishes he were home with his mother cooking spaghetti, voom. Guy #3 hems and haws, moaning that his two friends always helped him with tough decisions, says “I wish they were here now!” – voom.

Any old-time D&D players remember the fun to be had with a wish spell? It was essentially a curse, as the DM was free to interpret the wish in the nastiest possible self-harming way possible.

The third wish is always used to undo the effects of the first two. Too bad for Moondog.

Should have wished for more wishes. :)

What about the old " I wish for 3 extra wishes ".

That one he gets right…

Did he at least get the Elantra?

Shades of Ghostbusters.

Oh, that one he hears clearly.

Monty! You blew it! Arrrgh!

Moondoggie is hexed. Monty has inadvertently used up his last wish. The decrepit old djinn had no fizz….

It’s the end of the week and, but for a Saturday wrap-up, the end of the arc….
