Credits & Explaination

My friend Liz Maupin showed me this content onFacebook. MyWish is a stupid, surreal, maudlin,and inherently phony story; I fell in love with it. Mywish was to print an illustrated zine ofthe tale.

I asked my pal Brandon Kirkman to draw the story.He gratiously agreed. As you saw, his illustrationsperfectly complement the story's absurdity.

I don't knowwho wrote MyWish. A robot?

Please, read this story to your kids.
