Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 26, 1986
Transcript:
Calvin: Everybody I know has either cable TV or a VCR! They can watch anything they want! But me? I have to watch dumb ol' summer repeats! I have to watch the same garbage over and over! Dad: How cruelly we mistreat you, Calvin. Calvin: ...So then he gave me "Oliver Twist" to read, and said I might identify with it. Hobbes: Rats...and "Sorority Row Horror" is on cable tonight.
Now Cable is a wasteland of “reality” shows that are neither real nor entertaining, and VCRs are quickly on their way out.
