Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 21, 2023

I think that would disqualify them from driving.

But putting it on the charger will be a real pain.

Siri, bring up the last website I was looking at. No, not that website while I’m in public. Siri, are you listening to me? Siri responds, “Both you and the video are giving me commands at the same time which confuses me.”

Is this plastic surgery or silicone surgery?

Out of hand! LOL

My car HAD great navigation, they took it away because I won’t subscribe to Onstar. BUT they gave me Apple play and Android play. Works perfect for GPS!

I always think of “Lobot” from The Empire Strikes Back.

Maybe, instead of trying to get her to use a GCM, my mommy will agree to THIS surgery, as she “adores” her phone as much as NEIGHBOR NANCY!!!! Dan aka…

The hands need to be free to hold the coffee.

I remember when googlie eyes were a simple prop to elicit giggles and smiles; now it signifies the modern zombie, but instead of eating brains, they are willingly submitting to lobotomy mush.

How about when you charge it?

Too close to reality for comfort.

Once upon a time they use to stares into idiot box. Now they is stare into “smart” phones.

I’ve thought for awhile that our grandchildren’s grandchildren will just get phones as cochlear implants at birth.

Not much weirder that some of the other things people have piercing various parts of their heads/faces/bodies.

I have Blutooth, that’s enough for me!

Not much different than Google Glass.

I wonder if he would still walk into things?

Anybody remember Google Glass?

Borg technology. Resistance is futile…you WILL be assimilated. (Most people already have been.)

Isn’t there some eye glasses that have this capability

they’ll just end up making porn with it…….

I hate the presumption that we are all always carrying our phones at all times. If I go into a restaurant I usually leave my phone in the car, but the hostess wants the number so she can text me when my table is ready. You can’t just call out my name? That actually takes LESS time. And I don’t like handing out my number; I get enough SPAM calls as it is.

rolleyes

The Count knows some lowly unworthies who should have them surgically removed from their hands. Permanently.

Considering how often people upgrade to new phones, this could make some plastic surgeons a lot of money.

oh i hope you didn’t just start new trend

Fear the Walking Dead! Puppy or kitten video anyone?

it is out of hand. that was the point

As Bugs Bunny would say, “Could it be we’ve taken this thing a little too far? Eh, COULD be!”

Sounds really dangerous and painful.

You mean they haven’t invented an implanted phone yet? Wait, they will if they haven’t already.

I’m sure some stupid “influencer” will read this comic and say that’s a great idea, and some doctor will do the surgery

I use my phone a lot, but it’s always away when I’m in the presence of actual real human beings.

Still need a thumb.

Why did I immediately think of all those women who got eyeliner tattoos in the 90’s and now look like raccoons?

Yes, Pig that is the point…

Not supposed to eat or drink anything on the day of surgery. Might not react well to the anesthesia.

Why not just have it implanted in your head?

When plastic pieces come out of my 3D printer, sometimes I have to cut and trim them. I suppose I am a plastic surgeon.

next step is MomCorp’s EyePhone

The TRUE ORIGIN of … The BORG !!! … :)

Ai

I was thinking having my phone installed inside my heads. I have the room

I’m wondering how to recharge the battery.

Skeez today’s babies are literally born with in their hand once of out the mother’s womb

WHAN HER NOMOPHOBIAC SELF NEEDS A RECHARGE SHE JUST PLUGS IN!

This is a frightening reality.

Charging is going to be an issue.

Surgery!?! Just become a “glasshole!”

“Out of hand” is the idea

Out of hand indeed.

Attached to your head it is literally out of your hand.

Ain’t that the truth!

No, thank you.

My husband is convinced it’s only a matter of time before we all have chips implanted and bar codes on our foreheads.

That made me actually laugh out loud! Crazy funny!

My medical insurance doesn’t cover this, so I’ll just stick with my Bluetooth headset for now.

I saw a feature on Elon Musk’s sunglasses which includes everything from a camera to an audio system as well as the Internet. At least they aren’t as invasive as the microchip he wants to implant in our brains. Yikes, he’s becoming a DOCTOR WHO villain.

My wife gave me a Bluetooth earpiece for Christmas. Much simpler, although I look like Lt Uhura when I’m using it.

Just remove whatever brain is left while they’re up there.

I’m sure that implants are already on the drawing boards of companies as we read this and write our comments…..

“Getting out of hand”. Literally.

umm…very…stylish……

LMAO! Might as well be for a lot of people I know

So many idiots looking downward at their cell phones while walking(and usually stop halfway down a crowded staircase).

It won’t be long and it will be integrated, surgically, into our head.

That pun at the end was nice lmao

Make haste with that “Artificial Intelligence”,….. we can’t get it through nature, so … HURRY IT UP!!!

No longer SF; look in YouTube; Neuralink Begins Human Trials!

I see Rat coming at people who do that with some sort of a blunt object.

It literally is out of hand

I am POSITIVE that are some people out there that are idiotic to try that

You know, they have devices for that. Devices that won’t attract lightning directly to your head. Might improve your reception, though.
