    I can’t recall seeing this one before. I really like it but it did take a while to get. The well just straight up bugged out and turned him into a random collection of animals instead of whatever he wished for, so he’s coming back with a sign to warn others.

      I would like to guess that it’s more specific than that, possibly a poorly worded request for an “elephant (sized) cock” or something like that. So he ended up with elephant and rooster features.

      And then yeah, out of order

        Yeah, the problem with this is you kind start wondering what the wishes were and how they were misinterpreted and, uh, it’s a bit of challenge, then I just decided the wishing well was just really very badly out of order.

        Anyway, here is a 12-inch pianist.

          My fan-theory is that something went slightly wrong with the first wish, so he made a 2nd, trying to correct, and something went wrong with that one, and repeat… until here we are.

          Actually I’ve seen that kind of sequence before across various comics & cartoons, so it’s not really much of a fan-theory, haha.

          I completely agree with you on the open endedness here. On the one hand, it’s a nice throwback to a time when you didn’t need to explain every joke. On the other hand, maybe this one was a little too vague
