Ah, the lost art of prank phone calling.

He heads to Gazpacho Shack.

Next : Is there a Doug drawn on the wall in there?

When this strip is published in Canada, is the title changed to “Dinkle, The Unlovable Hoser”?

The tradition lives on in bogus telemarketing and ib assorted “contest” scams and phishing cons.

In my house, we call it the “jim”. I can then honestly say I go to the jim two or three times a day.

Oh, that Dinkle. Will he ever catch a break?

There was a Simpson episode where Bart called Principle Skinner and asked if his refrigerator was running? Skinner checked and found that his refrigerator was not running and thanked the caller (Bart) for calling his attention to the problem. It amused me.

With Caller ID only anonymous overseas commercial operations get to “prank call” you. :(

“JOHN GLY…” most likely alluding to John Glynn, the big-wig at Andrews McMeel/GoComics until his sudden and unceremonious departure in late 2020.
