A technological society can be called civilized only when it becomes poor manners to bring a live cell phone into a public restroom. We got a ways to go, don’t we?
There actually is a smartphone test for STDs, and it’s not much different from what you see in the comic. You use a little accessory that plugs into the phone, and I leave the rest to your imagination.
Growing up in the ’60s meant that lots of things were not so dangerous. We didn’t have pads for roller skating, or helmets for biking. Heck, it was mid-decade before cars had to have seatbelts (although everyone knew that was dangerous).

Coming soon: the colonoscopy app. You just stick the phone…
Hmm… actually, given the things some people do while using their phones, this might be a benefit to society…

Boody looks way too happy about his new toy in the first two panels. I guess the novelty wore off by the fourth.
Mental note: never ever borrow a smart phone.

Uhhh…Boody’s a dragon, right? So if HE pukes onto his phone, won’t he turn it into a charcoal briquette?

I see this app as promoting anorexia.

And guess what, bmonk (hi, by the way)? We brought that one on ourselves. (Some would say, mostly Monsanto did.)
