About
I Wish to Be Irresistible to Men, also known as the Wishing Well, is a meme format based on a cartoon by George Trosley in which a woman makes a wish to become irresistible to men at a wishing well, after which she immediately turns into a muscle car. In memes, the car is replaced with various other objects that men might find impossible to resist.
Origin
The two-panel cartoon was created by comic artist George Trosley on an unknown date prior to 2012, and likely before 2000. In the cartoon, a woman throws a dollar into a wishing well and makes a wish of becoming impossible for men to resist, after which she immediately turns into a muscle car.
While the original black-and-white version of the cartoon (shown below, left) was circulated online since 2013,[1] the earliest colored version of the cartoon was reposted on Blogspot[2] on January 1st, 2012. Starting in 2014, another version, redrawn and colored, was widely shared on Facebook and humor websites[3] (shown below, right).
