Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for February 23, 2023

He is magic. His right hand grew an extra finger in panel 2 and then lost it again.

Has Kahuna ever turned Hawthorn into a human for a week’s worth of yuks?

This arc reminds me of the recently released movie, “Three Thousand Years of Longing” with Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba. Found the wife and I liked that movie way more than I thought we would.

No making someone fall in love with you and no wishing for more wishes!

If only they sold genie lamps on Amazon. Sigh.

Yes, there is a catch. The genie is VERY literal, so be careful what you wish for, lest you get it.

I’ll take those wishes!

You better be careful, Hawthorne, or else Norm might turn against you for your behavior.

Hawthorne is thinking of The Monkey’s Paw. Your last wish is always for death.

And ixnay on the wishing for more wishes.

The catch is, if you make a 4th wish, you lose everything.

I can understand why Hawthorne is suspicious.

Oh there’s ALWAYS a catch when it comes to genies! Like if you wish for a mountain of gold, you could end up buried under the mountain…or if you wish for peace on Earth you could be the only person left.
