Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
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.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

But even a genie can't replace the water in milk with milk because it doesn't make sense, so that cannot be the genie's interpretation of the wish

Have you never done a "replace all" in a word document?

All of the water inside milk is now milk. All the stuff that wasn't water that had already been in milk is now mixed in with the new milk. You have double milk. Mmilklk.

But by replacing the water part of the milk with milk you've replaced some of that water with water which isn't replacing it with milk, and if you keep going you've replaced all water with butter which is not milk.

The wish wasn't worded recursively.

Replace all water with evaporated milk, all life dies instantly

What we call "milk" contains around 87% water. All water now contains 13% pure milk. Done.
