Debbie, my daughter loves C&H, but it's been a while since I've read it. The "Boink" sounded like Calvin, but I wasn't sure about "Scientific Progress", so I doubt I would have recognized it until you mentioned them at the end. Also, "boink" sounds more like an error (to my ears), so it would've made more sense for "Scientific Progress Went Boink". LOL.
