    Unfortunately, Europeans other languages and are hard to eavesdrop at all.

    They only speak heavily-accented English in the movies.

    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.

      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.

          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…

    “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!”

      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.

    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”.

    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.

        apparently, Peter Pan is a brand of peanut butter.

        who knew?

      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!
