1 Me: {at computer}
1 [sound]: Bee-eep!
2 Me: [thinking] My cell-phone!
3 [phone message]: Howdy y'all! How's about we get us some fajitas?
4 Me: Hmmm... It's a Tex-Mexage.

2012-06-15 Rerun commentary: I don't actually have a phone. This one was my wife's at the time, and I borrowed it to make the strip.

I'm a big believer in being uncontactable. When I leave the house, I don't want people to be able to phone me. And I virtually never have any need to phone anyone else. So why carry a phone that I'll either never use, or that will just annoy me when people call?

This strip, by the way, has earned me a real life someone hitting me because it was such a terrible pun. I call that a success!
