#864: Flying Cars explain
[Cueball, looking right, is talking on his phone held up to his left cheek. The reply from Megan is shown to come from the phone with a zigzag line.]
Cueball: It’s 2011. I want my flying car.
Megan (over the phone): Dude.
[In a frame-less panel Megan, looking left, is talking with Cueball over her phone, which she holds up to her left cheek.]
Megan: You’re complaining to me using a phone on which you buy and read books,
[Zoom in on Megan as she moves the phone down in front of her while looking at and talking to it.]
Megan: And which you were using to play a 3D shooter until I interrupted you with what would be a video call if I were wearing a shirt.
[Cueball is now also looking down at his phone held in front of him, talking to it. Again the reply from Megan is shown to come from the phone with a zigzag line.]
Cueball: Can’t I have a flying car, too?
Megan (over the phone): You’d crash it while texting and playing Angry Birds.
