Can’t fault the kid for wanting to play Fun House, but … well, it wasn’t a 1988 game. And there’s no way to call it a double-level table.
It’s a bit weird to get so appealingly specific in a point of fannish devotion and then get the center of it off. Maybe it’s a tease on fannish specificity meant as an extra joke for pinball fans? Or maybe the strip got partly rewritten at the last minute?

I really loved this…made me smile and laugh. Didn’t do any research on pinball machines just enjoyed it for the pure pleasure of it. Creative and charming.

Totally ruined by the inaccuracy of the pinball machine reference…. What was the cartoonist thinking? How dare he?
