Bastich's Three Wishes

Commentary

Here we have another silent comic. Poor Hacker-Lad and Faith's pleas just can't compete with Bastich's perverse fandoms.

However, I think Three Stooges PEZ dispensers would probably hold their value better than Faith's pile of cash and Hacker-Lad's dream workstations combined, so 'Stich made the right call here.
