Given the setting of this comic (Some time after 2001), wouldn't they have already known what happened to the WTC? And dude is using a corded, residential phone, so it couldn't have been that long after it 9/11...

I don't understand this weird Lemmy fascination with over-analyzing and breaking down shitposty jokes.

I am deeply sorry for upsetting you with my observations

I said I didn't understand it, not that I was upset over it but okay.

The corded phone is my favourite part :P

I imagine, it's part of the joke, that the phone looks old. Like, if the 50s called, it would have been a rotary phone...
