Ben Cicon is now @psychomic on Instagram and no longer @sychomic. That’s worth knowing because it makes it easier to track down his humour.

Panel 1
Genie: What do you wish, mortal?
Mortal: I want to fly.
Panel 2
Genie: Where would you like to fly?
Mortal: No, I want the ability to fly!
Genie: Oh, ok. So do you want a flying suit, wings, or the ability to fly via telepathic willpower?
Mortal: Wings!
Panel 3
Genie: Would you like bird wings, bat wings, dragonfly wings…?
Mortal: Bird!
Genie: Great. Now, what kind of bird wings would you like? Hawk, sparrow, hummingbird…?
Mortal (thinking): Hummingbird sounds cool…
Panel 4
Genie: Now, in regards to your weight, would you rather re-engineer down your body or would you like reduced bone density?
Mortal: Reduced bone density.
Genie: Great, now we’ll have to give you an increased metabolism, but to what extent will depend on how long you plan to fly at a time…
Mortal (thinking): Good thing I didn’t ask for world peace.
