Jokes on them, no one uses cell phones for calling people anymore.
Interesting that he could imagine pocket telephones, but not a way of silencing them
Well, a physical bell made them ring, it’s not like the phones of the time had the ability to silence them. One novel concept at a time lmao
I would think you could disconnect the ringing solenoid with a switch. But maybe the comic is taking about forgetting to turn them off?
I genuinely can’t remember what my ringtone is. Haven’t had it on in years.
Must be the same as mine - bzzz bzzz bzzz
mf really said your doohickey is frightening this here mite
I miss the comics from a hundred years ago that were always posted on /r/comicstriphistory
Hitler do be gettin into shenanigans with his mobile telephone.
Hitler is the reason that style is no longer worn. Some say it is his second greatest achievement, only being overshadowed by his greatest achievement killing Hitler.
Yeah, but he also killed the guy that killed Hitler.
