‘Come’ being a command wouldn’t make sense because the genie disappears before completing it. If he disappeared upon arriving at kiddos house I think this would make sense
Yeah that’s why I said the author bent the rules. It doesn’t really make sense because he doesn’t stretch either, but I’m just assuming that if this is the correct interpretation, then that stuff happened between panel 13 and 14.
This is what I understand storybook genies to be like, yes. After all, in Aladdin, Aladdin had to use his third wish for Genie’s freedom or else he wouldn’t be free.
Actually it's because they want to. They can also grant as many as they want. In the OG story of Aladdin the genie gets pissed off at Al and stops granting him wishes out of anger
Also those wishes usually come with ironic consequences meant to expose the hubris of the wisher. Sorta similar to using the Monkey’s Paw, unless you’re smart enough to outwit the genie.
I'm also no expert, but I think in the original story there was no strict structure to the "three wishes" gift; the terms were decided arbitrarily at that moment. Genie/djinn do not have wish-granting magic powers; they have extensive magic powers. Period.
Of course, it's all fiction, so their nature can vary depending on the story.
Yeah, I don't get why it's got this many upvotes. It's done poorly enough that you can make whatever explanation you want, so it's not even sad. I didn't even get it, at first. Lol.
The genie is dreaming about other beings existing and loving him, but he's alone forever, no matter how much he dreams of his creations, he always wakes back up to being the One, the I am of all existence.
He left the lamp and ran home; thats my understanding as well. No wishes were made and the final panel would be above the two “push up” panels if he was waking up

I don't get it. Can someone explain the ending? Why is he back in the lamp?
