    You’d foolishly waste your wish on a single kidney, but with that robot the kid can collect thousands of them.

        That could be anyone’s funeral.

          Obviously the kid saved dad and then he bought him the robot cosplay suit using the money from the second wish.

          The funeral is for someone that passed and loved that robot so the kid attended in the suit to show his respect.

          If it was the dads funeral or a close enough relative to share a magic lamp they would be sitting closer in front.

            Just imagine him sitting in front, blocking everyone’s view. Then again this is not like a cinema. Would anyone care about obstructed view at a funeral?

              Definitely not if the person who is doing the obstructing is a close family member to the diseased wearing their emotional support outfit.

          It’s the funeral for everyone that kid gathered in front of him. He will fit them all into that one coffin.

    The plot twist:

    The first wish was giving him a failing kidney. The second, make him forget that.

    plot twist, he thought deep in his heart to save his dad, and said “I wish what I wish the most”. the genie took the chance to twist the words and see that for 3 years he wanted a mechsuit, and only in the last few months he wished for his father to heal. So the genie granted him the thing he wished most (of the time).

      My guess:

      1. mom got first dibs, chose to GTFO of there
      2. dad was up next, wished for like unlimited beer or something that messed up his kidneys
      3. this is like a week later, kid finally demands his turn

    Maybe he did wish for a kidney but it was more of a monkey paw situation?

    The mech suit could have been wish one or two.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)
