Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't think they had the wireless remote options we do now in the 80s.
Clearly this person put a lot of thought into this but I dk if things being chronologically accurate mattered.
Radio waves, tho..
The first mobile telephone was in the 40s using radio.. that’s plenty of time for more niche adaptations.. not saying they did happen, only that they could have. The battery pack or generator would be huge (which is why they were in cars).
But ring a number for a bum jingle, why not?
#alternate technology
I mean... Just shove a old school pager up there and buzz away
Also both the batteries and motors were garbage back then. It definitely wouldn’t have fit in his ass without sticking out like a stiff turd.
Especially in those undies they wore.
