In other news, there are still phone booths in Canada.
I thought of that too, Aviation! hahahah! Then I remembered I also saw one recently in Santa Monica. There was no phone inside though. Or rather, not an entire phone.
What's a phonebooth?
more evidence we're staging the wild west again.
C'mon... if there are no phone booths, where is Clark Kent supposed to change clothes?
@5: Well, they've been making that point since 1978, so he's had time to work on this. Besides, he's been changing at superspeed (and micro-flashing everyone) since the Curt Swan days.
Its interesting that parts of society is expected to have a cellphone and that there should be a signal, with those hardlines aren't used much anymore. I bet things would change if people indiscriminately used cellphone blockers in the middle of busy intersections. I like telephone booths/boxes... there should be more of them in my opinion.
It's only a matter of time before someone paints in the saloon girl.

I still don't own a cell phone. I had a prepaid one in college, but I only really had it for emergencies. Until fairly recently, no cell phone from any company could get a decent signal where I live. Even now Rogers is the only company which has put up a tower nearby. I think there are two payphones within walking distance.
There should be more fantasy in art for daily objects.
@Jardine: I don't own a cell phone either! I love not having to carry one around, never knowing when it's going to startle me with a ring, and having to recharge it all the time, and probably losing it. Phone booths are rare, but I can still find a working public telephone when I need it, most of the time.
I have worked it so all my friends have cellphones. Now I can get in touch with them when I want and can be ignored when I want. Plus, phone booth phones tell the time when you hang up the receiver.
This one cries out for a performance - just as a family is about to walk past, out comes a fully attired cowboy.
Oh yah, a phone booth. I've heard of those. I never realized that phone booth doors look just like saloon doors in westerns.
