a four panel Calvin and Hobbes comic that has had the text replaced. the original was Calvin's dad asking if Calvin was interested in record players and then explaining to him how record players work, and how the outside edge of the record has to spin faster than the inside to go around at equal rates. the last panel is Calvin waking up in the night, having nearly rolled off the bed, due to his confusion. in this version, Calvin's dad says "there are only two industries left in America, gambling and fraud." panel2 : dad speaking again "derivatives? gambling. ai? fraud. video games? gambling. social media? fraud" Calvin says "yeah" panel3 : dad "the stock market looks like gambling but it's actually fraud" panel4 is the same with no text, just Calvin awake and confused
