a comic about mobile phones from 1919

Wow!

I've just realised a detail "prediction" in that; Ting ting ting".

It seems, thankfully, to have become less fashionable, but for quite a while it was apparently trendy to give your up-to-the-minute, 21C, portable radio-telephone a very old-fashioned, metallic bell sound. Specifically, that single-burst, horribly jangly, 1940s American bell that Hollywood made familiar even to non-Americans!

My first mobile phone was a birthday present - and it was one of the most unwelcome presents I've ever received. Nice to see somebody else hated them, decades before they even existed.

So accurate!

LOL! That is remarkably prescient for something drawn 103 years ago! Socially as well as technically.

Even the instrument's size is about right.

And didya know the 50th anniversary of the very first cell phone call was a few days ago? 😲

Who was the prophet?

Prophetic 😅

That is Great!

Haha true

That's Crazy!

This is so fucking accurate.... Especially all those random ass babies shoved into my arms

Old dick tracy watch

They knew a century ago, and yet here we are.
