The background will not leave Charlie alone any more than his companions will. Even without audio, the repetition makes the voices crowd into the picture; his central glare supplies the reply. It is a caption-filled fan illustration, not an unedited frame from the series.

Two unicorns can turn themselves into an entire telephone system without acquiring a telephone. Charlie’s response is deliciously practical: diagnose the call and, ideally, stop participating. The three-panel fan comic makes his weariness the punchline.
