So... Mallard was just sitting in front of his laptop waiting for updates for 6+ days after being informed that his Geek Squad® repair was complete and ready for pickup?
Wow -- it's a good thing Mallard is smarter than everyone else, or he'd really look like a world-class dumbass right about now. Oh, wait...
Also: Hey, five whole panels, and each one filled with something.* That must be the most physical effort Bruce has devoted to a strip since -- well, it's been so long, I'm genuinely at a loss. Anyone have an idea?
Homer: Here are your messages: "You have 30 minutes to move your car", "You have 10 minutes", "Your car has been impounded", "Your car has been crushed into a cube", "You have 30 minutes to move your cube". [phone ringing] Homer: [answers] Yello, Mr. Burns' office. Burns: Is it about my cube?
Man, that's a lot of verbiage for a joke that doesn't work. "It's like a teenager texting/tweeting/on Facebook" wouldn't make it funny, but it'd at least make some kind of sense. "That girlfriend everyone had in high school," WTF? I was in high school 30 years ago, and I don't remember anybody sending constant status updates, and how would we? I'd also add "But what if you were the girlfriend?" but that assumes women read this crap for non-ironic reasons. Oh, wait, that assumes ANYBODY reads this crap for non-ironic reasons.

If your "highschool girlfriend" doesn't talk to you for two weeks, chances are you don't HAVE a "highschool girlfriend"; you have a sad fantasy.
