What do you do when the remote is too far away?

I started thinking about the lengths people go to in order to avoid doing something rather simple. Several months ago, I was sitting comfortably on my couch watching TV when I noticed that the remote was farther than an arm's reach away. Rather than get up to retrieve it, I started looking around for anything I could reach that would help me drag it to me: a pillow, my drumsticks, anything. I was struck by how difficult I was making things in order to make them easier. Then I started wondering how absurd could I make this?

what a brilliant cartoon! I love the rendering of the machine itself. The shadows in the room make it all the more gloomy, making me focus on the difficult job at hand.
Brill!
