Actually, Europeans use their mobile phones mostly for philosophical discussion about Hyppolite & Hocquenghem, Heidegger & Habermas, or if you are lucky, Hobbes & Hume.
Eavesdropping would be incredibly educational, but also inconceivably boring.
Note that Italians discuss the romantic errands of former Italian prime minister Berlusconi instead, so eavesdropping on them would be considerably less educational, but almost equally boring.
“And may I ask sir, what was wrong with the death trap?”
“Like all the others before, just before the laser got to him, he figured out how to destroy it.”
“Well, sir, it seems that would be a fault of your poor planning and not anticipating properly.”
“Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Unfortunately, Europeans other languages and are hard to eavesdrop at all.
They only speak heavily-accented English in the movies.

Is anybody still using their phone to actually call somebody?
I know the discussions you mentioned well, but with my peers they’re done via SMS, mail, twitter or whatsapp.
SMS? Anyone still using that?
That’s the usual texting, everyone I know uses that.
Panel 3. He gets hives if someone says Charlie and Linus in the same conversation. We had to switch insurance companies too…

Do not return it to the retailer. You must mail it directly to the manufacturer.
That’s what you get for buying death traps from Acme.
“I’m sorry sir but this death trap is clearly marked
agents 001 to 006 only”
Ugh looks like I’m going to have to walk home from soccer practice… AGAIN!
Well played, Cody. Well played. (Slow clap, building to crescendo…)
Ha-ha!
Could be worse. I tried eavesdropping on a webcartoonist once. It was all “I can’t pay me rent this” and “Is this drawing funny that”.
And, “I have this weird feeling that someone is watching me.”
Love the bored Bug and the shuffle-off in panels 3 & 4.
At first I thought the conversation in the third panel about Peter Pan was a non-sequitur, but then I realized the connection.
Clever, Adam! It actually supports your point even more.
I’m still trying to put it together. Help?
apparently, Peter Pan is a brand of peanut butter.
who knew?
“I think this conversation is being bugged”
And even their cell phone towers are amazing just look at Bug admiring it in panel one
That’s a 4 post tower. One for each language spoken in the area.
Your comment is almost as funny as the comic itself.
As if the French would actively support the use of other languages in their country!
Hilarious!
