Rabbit ears? How old is this strip? I know they’re coming back in urban areas because cable and satellite providers are pricing themselves out of a lot of people’ budgets (free advice: try Roku), but still…
WE actually had cable, In the 60’s and 70’s! No CNN or ESPN of course, but we got 12 channels, crystal clear. Even stations from NYC, WPIX and the Yankees, WOR and the Mets. never had Rabbit Ears or the ugly aerial tacked to the house.

Corduroy… reminds me of that children’s book of teddy bear of the same name whose overalls are missing a button.

Wasn’t there a movie where this was partly the plot? The parents were aliens? Open new tab google.

Wait a sec. Those aren’t corduroy lines. They look more like a waffle pattern.
