Lost Forest as Calverton

What, like some incredible journey? Mark, you must be kidding.

It has to be said: this storyline, with Andy the dog hopping into the back of a truck and going on a long journey, appears to be Lassie-inspired. It’s straight from the three-episode 1962 Lassie story “The Odyssey.”

A warning: if you ever happen to be teaching Homer, and you decide to show the last couple of minutes of the third episode to your class, someone will cry. Don’t ask me how I know.
