Fifty dollars to build a robot that will make your bed would be a bargain! I’m wondering just what it is that Calvin could purchase for $50.00 that would enable him to create such a robot?

Mom: HOW DARE YOU TRY TO EXTORT YOUR OWN MOTHER?! I’VE CARRIED YOUR UNGRATEFUL BUTT FOR NINE MONTHS! NINE! NIGHTMARISH! MONTHS!! IF YOU’RE NOT BACK IN YOUR ROOM BY THE TIME I COUNT TO TEN, YOU’RE SLEEPING IN THE CRAWL SPACE ABOVE THE GARAGE UNTIL YOU ARE 18!!!
$50 to build a robot? Someone needs to examine Calvin’s schematics very carefully. Plus, he was talking about a fossil fuel combustion engine driven bot. LOL…
My wife and I never get out of bed at the same time. We also never go to bed at the same time. I usually go to bed first, so I make the bed before I get in it.
Calvin’s opening question is not remotely suspicious, is it?
Also, I remember the first time I saw this comic in the paper, thinking that he was asking for a fifty dollar bill by the name of the man who appears on it.

Is Popular Mechanics even a thing anymore? Personally, I was more interested in Popular Electronics.
