New release! With cartoonist commentary and an alternate ending! "Marcy! Call my cell phone so I can find it!" I lost 3 cell phones in 6 months and decided to do a strip about it. "That's my jam!" The industry calls this a "throwaway" gag. "Teddy! What are you doing with my cell phone?!" splish "That was my third cell phone in six months!" "Waaah!" "Oh no!" Cartoonist Commentary: This actually happened to me. My son used to throw wallets, phones, anything in the toilet. ! $$$ We had to call a plumber. The plumber found an old wallet with the perfect amount of cash inside to pay his bill! Amazing! The End "Anybody see my cell phone?" splish This is an alternate ending nixed by my editors.
My kids have done this too. After a stern warning from the landlord, we started keeping the lid down and the door closed.
