## Resource

Time flies! Especially if you have a cardboard box! In this episode, we discuss the second of Calvin's cardboard box inventions, the Time Machine. We visit the Jurassic period twice, and the future once (or maybe a couple times, if the wagon trips count). Apologies for the slightly weird audio on this one- there were some recording issues, but it still works. Here is a list of the comics mentioned this episode, along with their publication dates and the books where they can be found. We would love to hear from you!
