I’m afraid of saying something stupid. On the phone, when people can’t see your face and tell if you’re joking, this can be bad. It’s worse when they can hang up on you. I’m guessing that’s why we’re afraid of phones.
I’m afraid of phones because… The first time I ordered pizza no one could decide on what they wanted, so I hung up. I called back and opened with, “Hey, it’s me again.” I was 14 and told that if I didn’t order my own pizza, then we wouldn’t get to have any pizza.
The pizza place is a block away. I call and order, then go pick it up myself 15 minutes later. Better than the 45 it takes for it to arrive if they deliver…
My god the " I'm afraid of phones" and "I only have travelers checks" really made me laugh. Absolutely brilliant. I just stumbled onto this (literally) comic a few hours ago and I think its awesome (:
Excellent. And I am afraid of phones, too. At least when it comes to being saddled with the responsibility (read: headache) of getting more than two people to order a pizza together.
My girlfriend is so the i'm-afraid-of-phones bug, it's hilarious. This odd phenomenon always fascinated me, although i never quite could understand it.
I think this is my favorite strip of yours yet!
Thanks, man!
The "I'm afraid of phones" bug is totally me. Thank goodness for ordering pizza online!
You're afraid of phones?

I’m afraid of phones too!

I was afraid of phones before it was cool
THIS.
Im only afraid of calling, not answering the phone. i always have to ask girls to call me, intsead of the other way around, which is rather sad.

Oh, thank god it’s not just me!!!
I just hate phones, twitching every time that damn thing rings, but I’m not afraid.
Same goes for mail (both electric and paper)
Phones suck, it’s true.

"Just a large pepperoni please!"
-Couldn't figure out that gem before the phone call eh?!
Oooh, 3rd guy is what I wish I could be, but im 2nd guy. Almost unfailingly so..

Yeah I'm exactly like the third guy. I'm glad you always put losers I can relate to in your comic strips. Thanks man.
*cheque methinks, but i know americans just spell their own way. (meant endearingly)
We'll spell it any darned way we want to! But we're not consistent. We'll even spell it your way–sometimes.
This is my family on a Friday night.
tht third guy has a lot goin on.

You forgot 'argue about the toppings'. Just a given?
lolz at the bug always on the right

I imagine the guys as being emotional and loud and then the third bug is very monotone and sad.
This is exactly how ordering pizza happens in my house. It's uncanny.
Haha! So I've now read every single comic on this website, and this is definitely my favourite. Pure comedic gold!
hahaha….the third guy cracks me up
Hahah, awesome!
I’m definitely the bug on the right.
What do you call it when you order a pie while doing a handstand?
