Transcript:
Rosalyn: "CALVIN!" Calvin: "Hang on, Roz. The phone is ringing" Rosalyn: "I hope it's your parents! I hope they ask to talk to me! Boy, you'll be in trouble THEN!" Calvin: "It's your boyfriend, Charlie! Should I tell him you're indisposed? Ha Ha!" Rosalyn: "NO! LET ME TALK TO HIM!" Calvin: "Say Chas, don't you think you're settling for too little in the girlfriend department?"
In Response to NoSleep:
“Is that a ROTARY LAND-LINE Calvin is on?
How old is this strip?".It appears to be dated 1994. Regardless, the “land-line only” days were so much better. When I was young we still had party lines and you only had to dial four numbers to get through in some locations..Now everyone seems tied to their phones. They are the ultimate in rudeness. People sitting at the same table for lunch and instead of conversing their noses are buried deep in their “stupid” phone texting. Who knows, they may be even texting each other. The art of face to face conversation seems to be fading away..When you actually are in a face to face conversation their phone rings and when they answer it, they are essentially saying, excuse me while I blow you off for this much more important conversation..Then you have the idiots that text and drive. :-P.I would be more than happy to see all mobile phones go away.
