There’s a very good short silent film with Snub Pollard, “It’s a Gift” (1923 – not the later W.C. Fields film with the same title) in which he’s an inventor. A device awakens him by tickling his feet with a feather; then he proceeds to cook breakfast, with fresh eggs, without getting out of bed.
His magnetically propelled car is hilarious. The film can be seen on YouTube.
Nothing to do with this comic, but beware about your bank’s CD’s when they mature. I had a 7-month CD making 4.7% and when it matured they wanted to roll it over into a 6-month making 1%. They don’t tell you that, you have to research it yourself. I’m guessing they can flip an 18 months into 15 months or 15 months into 12 months, 12 months into 6 long as it’s not for LONGER time….whatever lets them pay much smaller interests if you don’t catch it.
I think I’ll wait for the “Jetsons” system. However I don’t have much hope that I’ll see it in my lifetime. I’m still waiting on their flying cars that I thought would be here by the year 2000. Twenty-five years and still counting!
In the “Matt Helm” movies, a 60’s spy parody starting Dean Martin, the central character has several alarms going off in increasing noise and intensity, but then finally, the bed starts slowly moving along rails, and majestically raises and dumps Martin into a swimming pool.
When I was in high school, my mom trained my doggo (a German Shepard,) to nibble me awake. He would use just his front teeth and nibble me. It pinched like the devil, but I would give anything to have my bestie Alex, (the doggo,) nibble me awake for school again. He really was the best and most loyal dog a girl could ask for.

They make chairs that help old people get up. A chair like that could be programmed to do this.

Something grabbed Pig. The perpetrator was caught red-handed.

Who likes to be suddenly awakened though? I use a sunrise alarm clock that gradually brightens over 20-30 minutes.

The toss through the window would do more damage and knock Pig out rather than wake him up. Heck of a bad way to start the week.
