Recap / Calvin And Hobbes Calvin On Television

Go To

Calvin cuts a piece of cardboard out in the shape of a television screen so he can pretend to have his own television show.

Tropes

  • Bragging Theme Tune: Calvin has a self-congratulatory theme for his 'television show'.
    Calvin: He's Ca-a-alvin! Amazing, great Calvin! Oh, he's the one that you'd like to meet! He's the one who just can't be beat! He's Ca-a-alvin!
  • Shout-Out: Calvin's dad takes Calvin's fake television screen away after he plays with it for awhile. Hobbes suggests he take his show over to cable, and Calvin comes up with an idea for a TV show called Father Knows Zilch.
