Story
Lois tells Peter to read a book after his illiteracy spoils her party. He is handed Van Halen's album 1984 rather than the George Orwell novel, and becomes hooked on the band. Racing Ernie the Giant Chicken, Peter is distracted by a passing squirrel and crashes into a coma. Dr Hartman tells Lois her husband is brain dead and offers to withdraw life support. Peter dreams his way onto a cruise liner of dead characters, finds no Wi-Fi aboard and flees, waking to see Lois holding the life support plug. His trust breaks, but he lets the grievance go.
