In truth, each of the items Cal mentions still have great effect in modern society, although their original uses have been enhanced by modern technology. If – and when – power fails, we’ll need to remember that those basic methods are still important for maintaining human life.
So a whole arc about Calvin making his bed? The Count ❤️s it! Beats the snot out of a month long Bore-a-thon with a spoiled obnoxious princess being dumped on her hawt aunt and box of rocks uncle by a deadbeat dad over on LuAnn.

Wouldn’t the robot also need legs for moving and arms and hands for picking up?

I didn’t know that the Internal Combustion engine was a simple machine to alter force! I’m surprised that Hobbes didn’t correct Calvin on that.

Except when Mom finds out you didn’t clean your room and make the bed, she’ll withhold your allowance.

Better off going to the Centeral Government. They’ll probably hand you one without asking any questions or any oversight.

I’m changing my name to Chrysler

I will tell some power broker what they did for Iacocca

So he’s a little off with the internal combustion engine, but he’s close, since the one he’s missing is the wheel-and-axle.
