    As an artist, I would struggle with that panel. Not because I don’t know how phones work, but I want to be able to depict the words coming from the phone, not the character holding the phone, without the reader getting confused about who’s is saying what.

    Sure, it’s inaccurate, but it’s also functional.

      I think even if you put the speech bubble next to the phone it would be fine, since the phone uses a different speech bubble style than the previous panel

      I dunno? Maybe put the headset on the other ear and point to the ear piece.

      I still have no idea what’s going on…. (John wick? Some recluse? I’m confused.)

        It’s a reference to The Ring, a Japanese horror that was remade in the US. It’s about people watching a tape. The depicted girl is Samara, who crawls out of the TV set and warns people that they’ll die within 7 days (and then makes sure that happens). Idk it’s been a long time since I saw it

      Close up on face and phone, would be my guess on how to easily resolve this while keeping the same tone
