Chapter: Comic
“Daddy, how did they play Angry Birds on those old phones? Wouldn’t the cord get in the way?”
Also, I am starting a Patreon page. It’s a great way for people to help creators like me keep making you smile. Don’t worry, my comics will always be free but if you can help out, it will mean a great deal to my family. Check it out here!
Hold on son I can’t hear you. I’ll just get up and turn the TV down.

No, see, you use the cord. Hook the handset around this, then put the bird in the middle of the cord, and pull back…
Haha
Or rather: when we used to actually talk on the phone instead of slowly typing short messages on a tiny touchscreen keyboard using our thumbs.
Caller ID: Florida Call. even the land can call at times
Back then, you had to have the authorities set something up to tell you that the calls were coming from inside the house! Now, there’s an app for that.
Still applies, because lots of companies have found ways around caller ID, or are so vague I pick it up anyways in case it’s a call from one of the various government institutions I have to deal with due to disability and whatnot.
And then there’s the credit card whatever-the-heck-they-do company that uses MY name and phone number as their caller ID somehow. At least that one’s easy to spot. “Oh look, it’s me again! Hi, me! How’s life? Oh, you sound like a recording. I’m disappointed in you, me. You could at least talk to me like a real person.”
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
