One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for September 13, 2023

He’s getting a point across!

Go Grandpa!

Reminds me of this comic:

Luckily, with all social media and WhatsApp, hardly anyone calls anymore. You do see a lot of people on their phones, but mostly quiet.

Must admit I’m not a huge fan of those that use their phones in walky-talky mode. Instead of one side of the conversation you get both.

So true. So true.

None of those numbnuts care what Grandpa thinks. We care more about it than they do.

Nick you forgot about the ME thing going on now!

Grandpa’s perfect world fantasy.

I see grandpa came before the dinosaurs…

“Just putting my money where my mouth is, Ruthie, dear….”

One evening, I was sitting in the “quiet car” of my commuter train, where cell phone use was prohibited. Not everyone thought the rules applied to them, however.

The woman sitting next to me got out her phone and made a call. The conversation was along the lines of, “I dunno. What are you going to do tonight? … I guess I’ll probably just watch TV. …” Clearly not an essential call in any sense.

I finally interrupted the conversation to politely say, “Excuse me, but this is the quiet car. Cell phone calls aren’t allowed.” She hung up and said, “How was I supposed to know that?” I replied, “If you hadn’t been on the phone, you would have heard the conductor remind us about it on the loudspeaker.” No kidding — the conductor had broadcast the standard quiet car reminder while she was yakking away. Plus, there were “quiet car” signs posted throughout the car.

The telecommunications innovations of the past thirty years haven’t been all good…

Preach it, Brother!

Smartphones are a blight on the human race.

“Because money talks”.

There was one very like this in For Better or for Worse. I think it was Michael who did what Grandpa did in this one.

Good job Grandpa. For me when I had to make phone call while husband at hospital for heart cath checkup, one no speaker talked softly on c phone, and I talked quietly. If in a restaurant, no speaker talked half normal on cphone. I do not want people to hear me.

Ironically, he looks less insane speaking into his wallet.
