that sinking feeling when you pat an empty pocket

Anonymous

Oooooo the panicky feel… so glad when I was Emmett’s age cell phones weren’t a thing. I just had to pay attention to a clock (if available) or sun.

Onyx

That bottom caption is SUCH a nice tie'in

BobC

Forget adding tails. WE NEED MORE ARMS! Yes, this is a "call to arms".

Captain Button

Jeph sings of arms and the Canadian...

Daniel S

Clearly Emmett is a master of the five-hands technique

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

See an extra arm or three WOULD come in more handy than a tail.

Doug DeJulio

Ah, yes, when I misplace things and then have to check every single pocket to make sure... I call it the "ADHD Macarena".

Joseph Bonnar

Poor Emmet. The good news is this: Bubbles will almost certainly escort them home and will be able to explain to Emmet's parental unit that they just didn't have their phone.

If they know their own parental units phone number (with a little gremlin like this we can’t assume) I imagine Bubbles has calling capability

Shawn Spencer

She's WAAAAY too young to have her phone permanently set to "Silent" like us adults do. So it shouldn't be hard to find.

How many people memorize numbers these days? I know 3, mine and 2 that are defunct. Emmet not knowing their parent's number isn't exactly shocking. Yay probably does, though.

Bagge

Back at home Emmet's mother resets the 'Days Since Emmet Shenanigans' sign to '0' with a deep sigh

This, but the sudden realization that you hadn’t put the phone handset all the way back onto the rocker when you used it a few hours ago and it starts ringing the *second* you fix it

Shane Wegner

This is such a sinking feeling.

Speaking of where things turn up, you know how people are always complaining about things turning up in the last place you look? I will sometimes continue looking for something after I've found it *just* so that this isn't always true.

Big fan of Bubbles' mustard colored gloves

@Viktor • Helps if their phone number is easily rememberable. Like if it’s like one of those phone numbers for a legal attorney you call if you are in a wreck.

People did this so often at work that I became sensitive to the very quiet call waiting beep. I would get the occasional odd look when I would suddenly get up and go to the other side of the room and answer the seemingly silent phone.

Stephen Wells

Maybe they left their phone at Union Robotics before they came over to the coffee shop.

Is it a thing to type emoji in escape characters now? I've just discovered that '<' means the 'less than' sign and it feels like I can read the Matrix now!

Quick, somebody retcon a reason for Bubbles’ hand color change

Chameleon combat programming kicking in. She's changing to match the wall to blend in, disappear, we'll never see her again.

Summer Sudbrink

The phone is now part of somebody’s prehensile tail, giving rise to a whole new category of butt-dialing.

Anonymous

And that's how Faye and Bubbles adopted Emmett

Orion Rhine

I know that panic. If I have my phone I know I can call for help, look up maps and bus routes, and use music to drown out the worst parts of the world. Without my phone my anxiety spikes hard.

PSA: payphones still exist, but they charge massive fees for credit cards.

Hugh Eckert

TFW you have to use the "find my device" page because your phone is in your room some place but buried...

Once used Find Device to identify that our daughter's phone was literally in the room but completely invisible. It turned out that a hospital bed had somehow eaten it - when we turned on all the motorised bits to raise and tilt it, the phone fell out from underneath.

I love the time distortion. It’s been the same day for what, three months real time? I wonder how long it’s been in QC world since QC 1…

Ursus Ridens

Some of us old people get really uncomfortable about how much of our lives get packed into that little rectangular gizmo. It almost becomes one's identity. Dystopian story idea: Phones talk to servers including government servers without involving the person at all. The phone comes to be regarded as the more significant of the two. (Hmm. How close are we to that scenario?) And when you lose your phone...

That seems a little extreme. The May's New Body story line should have taken at least a week on its own.

Skeeter Zymbal

I just noticed that there's a coloring error in the last panel...

I found an old school, coins only, still fully working payphone in a gas station parking lot as recently as like 2019
