- First Panel:
- Shadowed Figure: "YOU'VE CAUGHT ME! WHAT IS YER ONE WISH?"
- Cheerful Man: "I WISH TO CONSTANTLY EXPERIENCE A LOW-GRADE FEELING OF DREAD."
- Second Panel:
- Cheerful Man: "LIKE, AS IF ANY MINUTE NOW I'LL BE EXPOSED AS A LOSER AND A FRAUD, AND EVERYONE—ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO MATTER TO ME MOST—WILL ADMIT THEY NEVER BELIEVED IN ME FOR A MOMENT."
- Third Panel:
- Leprechaun: "YOUR WISH IS GRANTED BUT… WHY WOULD YOU WANT THAT?"
- Cheerful Man: "OTHER PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHY THEY FEEL ANXIOUS AND UNHAPPY IN AN AFFLUENT, TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED SOCIETY."
- Fourth Panel:
- Cheerful Man: "BUT ME? I BLAME THE LEPRECHAUN!"
- Fifth Panel:
- Cheerful Man: "MODERN HAPPINESS IS KNOWING EXACTLY WHY YOU'RE SO MISERABLE."

The panels convey a humorous take on anxiety and societal pressures.
