Episode #402: Life beyond the fourth wall #3
Episode Notes
This is a sequel to episode #398. Yes, I decided to join the 21st Century and get myself a smartphone.
So far I've used it to upload stupid photos to Flickr and exchange pointless texts with my sister. It's what technology was invented for!
A note about dates: All comics "beyond the fourth wall" (with mum and me) are in present-day real-time.
