==Contents==
===Plot===
A passing [[Cupid (The Pessimist's Guide to the Small Screen)|Cupid]] sees [[Pessimist-242]] sitting in front of a TV set on a small cloud, looking sullen as usual. When the Cupid points out to Pessimist that his TV set isn't actually plugged in, Pessimist replies that he knows full well, but doesn't think it's worth the effort because anything that may actually be on the air would be just as boring to him as sitting in front of the blank screen as he's already doing.

===Worldbuilding===
====Universes====
* The comic takes place in the [[Cupid Homeworld]].

===Continuity===
* [[Pessimist-242]]'s ownership of a TV set would later be referenced in [[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over! (short story)|Rifts Crisis Officially Over!]]''.
