The artist has “secret” symbols that he hides in all of his comics, and the slice of pie is one of them. By the names in the upper left hand corner is a “3”, which means he’s put 3 of the symbols in this panel. There’s also a stick of dynamite and “O2” (which stands for Olive Oyl).

That’s… pretty good!

I used to say that I would never have a big phone and didn’t like the look of them. After getting a Pro Max, I can’t go back to a small phone. I’m old, I need the bigger screen! (Plus the longer battery life.)

The joke isn’t so much about the phone, as it is about a fisherman getting fished by someone above the panel. The same is happening to him as what he’s doing. It could be anything that’s attractive on the hook…

Y’know what, I give up. It ceases to be funny if I have to explain it multiple times. Y’all win, phones bad, Apple bad.

While that’s true, the joke is that there’s someone above the panel using “bait” to catch him. It could be any kind of phone, or anything else that’s attractive.

As I’m getting older, I appreciate this strip more.

I do not. I don’t game on my laptop.

It’s called Pearls Before Swine. It’s actually a pretty smart and sometimes adult themed comic strip.

I love See Mike Draw!

YES! Exactly my point. Thank you!

You don’t have to go back that far, just look at digital music. People were trading files on Napster, and the music industry was having a fit. Steve Jobs opened the iTunes Music Store and started selling all files for .99, people started gobbling them up, and piracy went down. Then along came Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc., and most people are happy to pay. Why, because it’s so much easier and convenient than trying to pirate it and get it on your phone/player.

Don’t get me wrong, people still pirate, but the percentage is low compared to what it was before these easy legal options. People will always take the easiest route, legal or illegal.
