The Lockhorns by Bunny Hoest and John Reiner for February 21, 2025

Tick tock, tick tock

surprised she doesn’t have a second phone for just this type of “emergency”

(seems the smart thing to do would be to charge it while sleeping)

Interesting how the artist depicted Leroy’s beer-belly protruding from the side of the chair.

“It’s like a real person to her. That phone is the Apple of her eye.”

Ugh. I just wish they were never invented.

One can use the phone while it’s charging… Smh

Yet another example of the Lockhorns inviting guests into their home and making no effort to entertain them. And after this guy put on a black suit with an unbuttoned jacket over an open-collar white shirt, too.

I’m pretty sure that every time there’s a strip like this, the guest is someone new. I’m assuming that L&L are such poor hosts that no one ever accepts an invitation to visit them a second time.

If it’s that serious you’d think she would know how to use the phone while it’s charging.

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance are the five stages of grief for someone who is terminally ill according to Elizabeth Kubler Ross.

And Leroy goes through his own stages of grief when the bill arrives.

My mom is 91 and she’s convinced that she cannot use her phone while it’s charging. A call comes in, it goes to voicemail.
