Calvin’s show on all the networks? Just like the Emergency Alert System!
I’m reminded of when Peter Griffin later tried a similar stunt, except with his cardboard TV monitor he pretended he was watching TV, with everything he sees being a show or channel to him, since he accidentally cut off Quahog’s TV service and was going through withdrawal.
I picture the first three panels having the KPM stock track “Curtain-Raiser”/“Starlight Revue” by Alan Braden (as heard on “Ren & Stimpy” and “SpongeBob SquarePants”) playing underneath.
Before the quiz, Calvin was all up for betting 25 cents on who gets a higher grade. When it’s apparent he’s flunked, then he’s all “No bets! No gambles!”
Dopey Dad’s face in the third panel is priceless!
