# Comical Cellular Abuse Cartoons This Comic Strip Analyzes a Typical Mobile Relationship By Jonathon Brown | Published 2013-01-23 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-relationship References: [blameitonthevoices](http://www.blameitonthevoices.com/2012/12/mobile-ralationship.html) & [bonkersworld.net](http://www.bonkersworld.net/) In today’s world so many of us are attached to our phones, but what is our mobile relationship really like? This hilarious short comic from [Bonkers World](http://www.bonkersworld.net/) gives us a look at how we may think about our mobile relationship and how it really is. In the first part of the comic we see the owner standing tall over the phone shouting demands at it. These demands are all very common for [smartphone users](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clicks-communicator) and seem totally acceptable and standard. They include “Fetch my emails,” “Send this photo to Lynn” and “Navigate to John’s house.” However, just when you think you know who’s in charge, the second piece of the comic puts you in your place. The phone grows bigger than the owner and rains down demands of its own including “[Charge me!](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsic-charger)” “Get me some WIFI! Now!” and “Answer this call!” Who is in charge in your mobile relationship? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mobile Relationship Dynamics Trend:** Companies can develop innovative apps and services that analyze and improve personal mobile relationships. - **Comical Tech Comics Trend:** Businesses can create comical ways to discuss technology and engage audiences with their products or services. - **Digital Addiction Awareness Trend:** Organizations can raise awareness on the overuse of digital devices and promote seeking help for addiction. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Telecommunications Industry:** Providers can work on creating vulnerable, 'smart' phones that analyze users' needs and provide solutions. - **Comics Industry:** Comic book publishers can produce comics that tackle complex issues with humor and engage tech enthusiasts. - **Mental Health Industry:** Practitioners can use humorous digital mediums to make accessing mental health resources more engaging to patients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Charged Phone Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apples-miss-you.md) - [Mobile Plan Breakup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-mobile-pete-wicks.md) - [Phone Breakup Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reclaim-your-brain.md) - [Uncomfortable Anti-Tech Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uscellular.md) - [Swapped Phone Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitkat-phone-break.md) - [Mobile Device Addiction Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-device-addiction.md) - [Wacky Design Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-phone-experimentation.md) - [Miniature Phone Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-sleep.md) - [Reduced Connectivity Mobile Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-phone.md)
