Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart for May 29, 2023

You need a better Red box

can i do that with telemarketers ?

Deposit it where?

Back in BC they even had Shell Phones!

What do you ding you’re up to?!

Try it with a Cap’n Crunch whistle.

Time to clam up

or

Clams got imitators……

I remember when this one originally ran in the paper. I liked it then, too.

Clams make more of a clunky sound!

The dings were important back on the old pay phone. Operators could tell the difference in the dings as each had a different sound according to the change dropped in.

Sort of like the U.S. Quarter vs the Canadian Quarter.

Pay up or i’ll clam up…
