#139: I Hate Cellphones
This Comic's Cast:
As it so happened, I was trying to cancel my cellphone. I'd had it for over two years, the contract was up, and I just wanted to get rid of the damn thing and its monthly costs.
So, I called the phone company, only to be told that I couldn't cancel it because I'd added a second phone to the plan (sharing the same minutes, and no other changes), and they were telling me that because I'd made a change to the plan (the second phone), the contract had been renewed from that point and couldn't be cancelled without a fee.
Yeah, and there was much arguing, round and round. They argued I agreed to the contract renewal, I argued I hadn't. So there was much arguing.
In the end, I won. I hadn't signed anything, so they couldn't enforce it. And I got rid of the phone.
I prefer the layout of this version to the classic comic. It's tighter and yet gives the text more room to breathe. Much better.

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...
These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...
They actually do something heroic.
