Calvin and Hobbes Transmogrifier Series - by Bill Watterson for January 08, 1990
Transcript:
Calvin: Look, Hobbes! My newest invention! Hobbes: Isn't that your transmogrifier? Calvin: It was, but I made some modifications. See, the box is on its side now. It's a duplicator! Hobbes: Ah. Calvin: It combines the technologies of the transmogrifier and a photocopier, so instead of merely making a reproduction on paper, this machine actually creates a real duplicate! Hobbes: So our financial worries are over? Calvin: And counterfeiting is just one of its many uses around the home!
I don’t know why Watterson presented counterfeiting as a possible use for the duplicator, but never followed up on it.
