This strip reminds me of two movies. Joy’s eating calls back the wood chipper scene from “Fargo” and Burl’s comment is straight out of “The Accidental Tourist.”
Sorry but I’m with the Penny’s on this one. We have an answering machine on a land line. Just call back if you need to, you know, like we used to. I’m sure my kids are frustrated too but they don’t say anything. It’s very hard to hear from a cell phone when your hearing is not good.
It is hard to get hold of someone when they are at the burger place getting kids meals for dinner. I wonder what toys they got? It looks like they got out their fine china and fancy eating tray for the occasion.. I guess Joy can’t wait till dessert….or did they eat that 1st???
My kids used to worry if I did not answer phone or email. There are times that I don’t read email every day (even if I’m home) and I’m trying to train them now to Skype instead of phoning. I had a nice long chat with DIL in Boulder Wednesday (her birthday). One thing both she and my youngest boy had to know is how I so easily went from various drinks per day to none – I told her how it works.
Three pete…is a record for cocomics..Hardly miss a call here by having 9 extensions on the land line. But have learned to skip “CALLER UNKNOWN” and any call that does not answer “HELLO” right away..Time to put the flag away until labor day…. ! ! !
I love caller ID, I don’t answer any call that says 800 number, or if the caller asks if I’m the lady of the house. I will ask if they know my name, if they say no I ask then why would I want to talk to you? Snarkey? Sure but the no call list doesn’t seem to apply to a lot of people, and they call at dinner time or when the tv program is getting good.
Patty is going to have to call 911 if Joy stuffs any more in her mouth. ewww (may I order some pineapple BB, it goes well with vodka)

Good morning, those to the right. Good evening and aloha those to to the left.
I keep expecting Vanna White to stroll by and reveal a few more letters.

Could that be the ghost of Dewey Penney speaking? Is Penny the only one who can see him?

Think about it Patty, you don’t really need to call them, do you?
