Along with four thumbs…

♫“In the year 4545

Ain’t gonna need your teeth, won’t need your eyes

You won’t find a thing to chew

Nobody’s gonna look at you”♫ (Zager and Evans)

What about those of us who like walnuts?

You will not need to carry anything. Phone will be implanted.

Not to mention the increase of idiocy .

This cartoon assumes humans will actually leave their house in 2000 years

Humans will be one with their phone and the chosen Dali Lama will be the cell tower. Namaste.

It’ll be much sooner. Some of us may live long enough to see it.

I understand the COVID vaccine causes this mutation.

Looks like big lapels are back in 4000!!

Bleeb’s still here? Must be havin’ a good time then…

I like the absence of vehicles, though. But, then you could text while driving!

Texting while walking in the streets of Ft. Lee, NJ is a ticketable offense.

But now there are phones with two screens. Maybe we’ll need 3 sets of eyes

Theeth! After yethterdayth cartoon… I can’t thtop talking with a lithp! I wath gonna thay… a-hem… I was gonna say… by 4000, if the standard attire is circus clown and human cannonball from Barnum & Bailey, and we’re still WALKING and texting, then sump’n went wrong! If texting is still the accepted form of communication, then the bare minimum is, we should be teleporting and texting!

Ready… Energize! Aw crap! My iPhone 5000 was beamed back to the Flintstones! Hmmm, I wonder if there’s gonna be an “S” model this year?

Or, be extinct from stepping into man-hole covers or stepping out into traffic.

Don’t mothers and teachers already have eyes in the back of their heads?

Geneticists agree that the body will compensate by having one less brain…

Another good reason not to reincarnate. :-)

It looks like Bleeb has turned into a swinger.

Leave it to Bleeb to find the one foureyed human without a device.

And reproduce asexually.

A woman who wore glasses once told me that her mother said they were from the planet Venus and had 4 eyes. When they got to earth, they had a operation to remove two of their eyes so they would look like everybody else but had to wear glasses after that. I said that it’s a good thing they didn’t remove all four eyes. Why? Because then you would be a Venusian blind!

Nah, instead of having to type, someone will figure out a way that you could talk on one of those, and the person you’re communicating with will hear, and be able to speak back.

looks like bleeb hasn’t evolved.

I’m surprised we haven’t developed an extra thumb to text faster

And, of course, someone will use that extra pair of eyes, and figure how to hold a phone in each hand, texting with each.

I disagree. I predict we will keep just two eyes, but one will point downward. The lazy eye will rule supreme.

Hey, at least they are not still wearing masks!
