#615: Avoidance explain

[Cueball is sitting in a chair holding a phone to his ear while his Cueball-like friend talks to him.]

Friend: Did you call that hot girl from the party yet?

Cueball: I’ve been trying.

[In a frame-less panel Cueball looks at his phone and talks to his friend.]

Cueball: It’s weird. I swear I got her the first time. But now it says the number’s wrong.

[Zoom in on the friend, Cueball talking to him off-panel.]

Friend: What did you say she did, again?

Cueball (off-panel): Voice work. At Verizon, I think.

Cueball (off-panel): Why?

Friend: No reason.

[Megan is talking into a phone, in an italic voice. Cueball’s remark is shown emanating from the phone with a zig-zag line, also the click from hanging up the phone is shown like that.]

Megan: We’re sorry, your call could not be completed as dialed.

Cueball (over the phone): Damn.

*Click*

Megan: Please check the number and try again.
