The phones emit a frequency which cause their heads to explode.

Maybe this frequency? http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1708?

I'm pretty sure it's the phones exploding, not their heads. Thus the 'Pretty sure it'll go to voicemail [if two people call each other at the exact same time]' and why Tai is texting instead.
Yes, because all phones have a few ounces of C4 in them for just such an occasion. Those trickster phone manufacturers love a good explosion when you simultaneous dial you newly acquired kissmate but forget to setup a first date.

Texting on the phone that just exploded? Is the idea that something bad happens if two people call one another at the same time an urban legend or meme or something?

I think it was more the first three panels were Emily's imagination running wild and Tai being a little freaked out by said imagination in the last panel. Tai and Dora ringing each other at the exact same time and exploding is just a joke.

Just so you folks know, I'm getting a fallout bunker specifically built for when this eventually goes belly up. Access will be invitation only.

MAJOR  :psyduck: today. Thanks Jeph.

Sometimes I wonder if it bothers Jeph that even 4000 strips after this one, a lot of the characters will be left undeveloped and possible arcs unexplored. There's only so much he can do with 5 strips a week after all.

Ah, yes. The wondrous profession of the macro-rectagraphers... not many take up this famed and fabled vocation that is nontheless very important for the advancement of modern medicin and analanalysts alike.

None of them, however, would probably ever have thought for the fruits of their work to end up as tile pictures in someone's bathroom... straaaange world we live in.

Actually, until the very last panel, Pintsize was more or less entirely correct in everything he said. Whether he believes it or not.

Perhaps we are witnessing a bit of character development in Pintsize: from the overtly whacky and chaotic to the much more subtle and insidious troublemaker. I for one would like to see that.

Pintsize could get some ideas from the Bible.

Marten has already given a robot an existential crisis.

Hmm. Can AnthroPCs get their programming adjusted? Kind of like plastic surgery for their personalities?

Or it could trigger a worldwide holy war that would eventually turn into a nuclear war, and then the planet would turn into a radioactive wasteland where the humans who survived the war would be struggling to survive in the hostile enviroment. The new Earth then would be ruled by the robots which was pintsize's goal all along.

There have been occasions when the tweets have been related to the comic, but there's no sign of the comic characters knowing about the tweets.  None the less, I think it appropriate that they should be considered canon, at least as an additional guide to the characters.  I can't recall if Jeph has commented on this.

I think Faye is just jealous of Angus' interest in sphincters besides her own. He has access unto the finest brown eye in all of Georgia--whither should he look at other butt(holes)?!? Angus, you cad!!
