Sounds about right.

Start swimming.

Poor service from that customer service!

Your request will be ignored in the order it was received !

At least he doesn’t have to endure 10 months of “music-on-hold”.

With Bleeb’s luck, the hold music will be the “Gilligan’s island” theme.;-D

Fantasy Island.

Is that palm tree wearing coconuts?

At least the note came back in English.

Hi, Bleeb. There is not much to observe here. It’s probably time to move along.

What are ya new or sump’n!! Make a radio out of one of those coconuts… haven’t you ever seen Gilligan’s Island?!

Oh, and you’re probably gonna need another fish… that one looks a little… thin!

The next message will come in about 7 months giving him a rescue “window” of three months and asking him to make sure he’s available for the rescuer.

No call back bottle option?

If you wish to not be rescued and would rather fend for yourself, please unsubscribe to these letters

Well according to all the EPA types, melting ice caps are going to raise sea levels enough to cover that island in 10 months time!

Is that a lady bug in the tree on the left? Or an alien? It may be her coconuts up there too!

I’m not surprised, really. I mean, I think those folks are still on Gilligans Island. (Team Ginger)

Surprised that it wasn’t written in Devanagari.

He’s sitting under a girl tree…

Well might as well smear your blood on a soccer ball into a face and make new friends…

There are six people in front of you

Not long now!

Johnny Castaway!

I wouldn’t hang a round Bleeb, those two coconuts aren’t going to last too long, so he’s going to be looking for something to eat pretty soon.

That’s like the same messages I get from Lyft.

Lmao! Great strip, and good creative take on that annoying phone call we all get.

Castaway service at its finest!
