I forget how old this strip is sometimes. Email and texting, you say?

Strip from 2010. I’m trying to cast my mind back 14 years to remember just how amazing this would have been at the time. We now take those features for granted but they seemed impossible at the time… I just can’t remember when that was at the moment. I had a trac phone in 1994, but it didn’t anything but make calls with a b&w pixel screen. I still thought it was pretty amazing to have a phone in my pocket.

You might try the “Power On” button, switch or slide.

Sounds like the wife. Recently got a new smartphone and couldn’t figure out how to turn the thing off.

Shouldn’t that conversation be the other way around?
