Turns out it was actually the “Wayback Machine” and Verne was transported to the last time a cow fell on him. He pushes his prior self out of the way, the cow falls on his future self, then the cow and Verne return.
First thing I thought of was “It looks like a bigger version of Calvin’s transmogrifier.” I just can’t see anyone in ‘Hi and Lois’ using a cardboard box as a major plot device, but then I quit reading that strip when I got to be a few years older than Chip, so that’s been about a half-century. Maybe it’s changed.

Knowing this strip, either the cow will crush it, or else Verne will really end up in Times Square with no way back.
As much fun as the second one would be, these story arcs (almost) always end on Saturday, so probably the first one.

Just make sure a fly doesn’t get in the teleporter with you

“I didn’t see Times Square.” “You must have blinked! Wanna see it again?”

Maybe Verne will end up in a different strip.

He needs to grab the booze from Andy Cohen’s bar before he starts serving shots.

Not a good idea. Someone will steal your cardboard box.

Well, at least that’s what Lois tells Hi about her weekend trysts.

They couldn’t get Calvin’s?

Should have gotten Calvin’s box that does everything.

He could have painted the cardboard box blue & called it a Tardis.

Careful, Verne. That looks more like the Transmorgifier from Calvin and Hobbs !

The way the box is pointing he may wind up in China.
