Right choice IMO
- Nah, of the things pictured I'd go with money and find love the old-fashioned way.
  
  Being Superman is probably the best. Functionally immortal, perfect disguise is just 1 pair of glasses away so you can still find love, hold the world hostage for unlimited money you can move through a swiss bank.
  
  Once you have a ton of money how do you separate true love from people who just want to be around you for your money? Look at the personal lives of billionaires. These are highly dysfunctional people.
  
  Good choice finding love the old-fashioned way.
  Though I think there are better wishes to make than just money, it's understandable out of the options here.
  Love is better than money, of course, but probably not from a wishing well.

Just saying, the loving wife he just spawned in would probably gladly use her wish on whatever he wants too.
- She already used it on the perfect hair-doo.
  
  That swoop do be swoopin.
- True, that's a lovely reminder. Seriously everybody, stop scrolling and ponder this.
- She probably also wished for true love
- What you dont know is she used to go by the name of Robert
  
  And?

Everyone in here talkin about love, superman, etc.
Im sitting here looking at the most bizarre take on an xwing i think I've ever seen.
- Gotta keep those Disney lawyers off your back.
- It appears to be a Λ-wing rather than an X-wing...
- Cause it's not. It's a knock off of the e-wing, the legends successor to the x wing that wasn't used much cause it kinda sucks. Though it might be in Ashoka now too.

just wish to have perfect disguises then disguise yourself as a different customer.
if it's a good wishing well it shall be fooled, as you asked for perfect disguise
- Just wish for more wishes.
  You’re convoluting a process that doesn’t need to be.

Now she can wish for a Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus and they can both be happy
- Gonna need that wheelbarrow of money to pay for fuel though.
- Now that's some NCD thinking there!

I'd be happiest with true love over an x-wing, tbh.
- What if, they're one and the same??
  
  R2d2's love is all you need
- I find this comic weird. If the woman is his true love, then he would love her more than anything. Either the well failed at the wish or it can only make a wish that can come true at a single moment but not forever(like ending world hunger would only be solved for the moment but not in the future). Either way, I think the last panel should have the guy falling head over heels in love with her as that was the wish he had made.

Have philosophers managed to put together a universal best wish?
The best thing I can think of is: true and abiding justice for all of humanity.
I'm sure there's a monkey's paw in there somewhere, but I feel like it would potentially have the best outcome for as many people as possible?
- So vague, what does "true" justice even mean? If I was an evil ~~genie~~ well, I would make you regret that wish.
- Wish for omnipotence. Now you can do whatever you want. Now that you have that, make yourself incrementally smarter so you can better define smart each time. Become indestructible, but not like a super strong dead piece of metal like that asshole well would've done. Then transform the human race into a spacefaring utopian, post scarcity society where your new smartass self defines what that is. Basically become a real benevolent god.
- As a certified super wise guy™️, my best wish would be no wish at all.
- As much happiness in the universe as possible.

Wishing, well...

That's ... depresssing?

So... We're just posting 20 year old web comics now?
- Yes.
- Yep

That looks like a Federation shuttle with a Rebellion paint job.

"Perfect life"
There, fixed. Whatever makes your life perfect, you get it.

I should have gotten a falcon....

Infinite wishes... Boom

I'd rather have a tie fighter
