Now, that I have seen the Thinking Cap, I am starting to remember this story arc and how it develops. It goes badly for Calvin but turns out better than he expected so he ends up counting it as a happy ending.
5th frame: • Calvin: “And if we reverse the polarity, it could even turn homework into comic books!”• Hobbes (thought bubble): “That would truly be a scientific breakthrough.”

I’ll betcha those aren’t input, output and grounding wires. If they were wires, that thing should work!

Go for it, Calvin. Now days you’ll attract network cameras and microphones. Run for office. You will be elected, I’m sure.

I’m going to bet that when Calvin grew up he got a job as the gaffer for Woody Allen movies. I’ll bet he built the orgasmatron.

“Atomic cerebral enhance-o-tron.” Calvin went on to be a writer for Star Trek.
Geordi saves the day by reversing the polarity on the Flux Capacitor.

Cal is rarely ‘grounded’ in reality. Short circuited maybe, but never grounded.
