I have always wanted to have my own magic remote so I could press “Mute” on annoying people. Especially those who think it’s OK to have long conversations early in the morning.
Apparently this early strip was before the TV began jumping (or was it floating?) above the stand every time we saw it. Would it fall back down when shut off?While you can’t mute people with a remote control, ear buds are very useful on subways and buses for shutting out the nattering groups of teenage girls, screaming infants, and the occasional mentally unbalanced person yelling at no one in particular.

It didn’t work because Dad was off BEFORE you pressed the clicker.

It’s a programmable remote! You have to set it to “Dad” mode…

I want a remote like Don Knotts gave Tobey Maguire in Pleasantville.
Actually, I wouldn’t mind living there myself…

He needs the remote control from Click. If only it was that easy, but life never is. Deal with it Calvin.
