I am new here. After reading a bunch of comics, I have seen characters holding TELEPHONES. I can't find these when I create my own comics. Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,

New Guy Steve

Can you show us some comics with the characters you're thinking of?

There is a telephone as a separate "character" in the props category.  In the "squabies" category, a couple of the Star Trek knockoffs are holding devices that could be construed as cell phones.  That's all I can think of.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Thanks for the response. I shall do a search so I can provide an example. I certainly am familiar with the "prop" stand alone telephone. That is all I can find.

Off I go

I can't think of anything else either.  There is always the "phoner" backround under misc but really no character with a phone.

Thanks guys, it must be the star-trek guys I was thinking of. Sorry for the troubles.

You could just use any character and pretend they are wearing a headset telephone.  If you don't think that's clear to the reader, you could have them thinking something like "I am wearing a headset telephone" in the first panel.

I find it easier to work under the assumption that all the characters are always wearing telephone headsets unless otherwise stated.

It sometimes backfires though. The other day I found myself shouting at a character who was talking to another character "You rude rude bastard, don't you know it's rude to talk to someone while they are engaged in a conversation with someone else via their wireless telephone headset, and what about the poor sap you are ignoring at the other end of your own wireless telephone headset???"

After re-reading the comic a few times I realised that neither of the characters had probably been written as wearing telephone headsets, but my anger was still real and present. It's a fucking minefield to be honest.

Actually, a few characters on cellphones would be nice--maybe a few done in the "office" style.

Then again, I remember when this site only had the matthew1 character, the room2 background, 1 panel per comic, no narration, and only animated gifs allowed in the text bubbles, and we seemed to get along alright back then.

Ham-fisted ham fisting.

I remember when this site didn't even exist and there weren't any cell phones.  I had to use my Barbie dolls to act out the comics.  I mean my sister's Barbie dolls.
