- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

I love this comic, seen it first I think a decade ago.
Of course it’s already funny on the surface, but it also makes you stop and think about what you would choose.
Is it really true love, if a wish compelled it?
Millennium Falcon. Just saying.
Actually, I think I’d rather a Ton Falk, complete with a collection of fighters/bombers to go with it.
Yep, that's the thing. The girl was walking around and got commandeered into loving this guy. So much for the illusion of free will.
I would also have asked for a starship: reverse engineer that and you've single handedly saved the human race from the climate disaster.
She wished for true love too, Wich is why he is there at all.
But if that is true, then he had no free will. He was there because of her wish!
We're getting into the nature of free will, whether or not it exists at all. One of the hardest questions we've never really been able to answer, and quite possibly never will.
What if the well is merely looking into the infinite possibilities and determining who the true love is based on what will happen anyway? What if she also made a wish at another well at the same time, also for true love? What if she didn't exist at all, prior to his wish, and was created as his true love?
It's compulsion all the way down..
