You no longer have to worry, since Monday D. Luffy has come to beat up all of the bad-guys. I know it may seem like a stretch for him to be able to do that with him being so skinny, but he can bounce back from anything they throw at him. If necessary, he will "change gears" if the fights get rougher. So don't worry... Even though he's an idiot. ----- Vote for Sluggy Freelance at Top Web Comics. Remember to vote EACH day.

So uh... cellphones don't have a dialtone. It's just not part of the technology, at all. For a while some carriers simulated one so they could use the same pulsing dialtone notification for voice mail as land lines had, but I'm pretty sure none do that anymore because it's been ten years since the average subscriber knew what that meant. Y'know. Just sayin'.

Tulipzkrieg, that's funny. It's also a war of the roses. tejón wrote: So uh... cellphones don't have a dialtone. It's just not part of the technology, at all.

Y'know. Just sayin'. So uh... doesn't matter. Geez. I'd hate to write a comic and constantly have to watch out, with people always eager to show off by criticizing every little detail they can find. You'd have to be an expert on everything and it still wouldn't be enough.

Well, I'm sure Zoe will have no trouble getting back to sleep.
P.S. Nothing makes you feel the inevitable passage of time more than knowing there's a generation in the world today who will grow up without knowing what a dial tone is.

Cell phones aren't the only things that don't give a dialtone when someone hangs up on you anymore. Landlines don't do that anymore either, not since I first used one at any rate, yet movies are still using the *Click* *Dialtooooneee* as shorthand to indicate someone hung up. And while I can't remember examples right now, I'll lay dollars to donuts that there've been a whole bunch a movies that have used the same sound effect for cell phone hangups.

The timeout is something like 30 seconds, not instantaneous, but they were still doing that last time I had a land line. Then again, that was more than 10 years ago too... As to the other reactions, jeez, sometimes a guy's just gotta grumble. What part of don't you understand?

It's still so weird seeing Gwynn in action without glasses.
