One Panel #827: Pushing Buttons

From Red, White, and Blue: "In China" by Ted Udall and Joe Gallagher, All-American Comics #49 (April 1943)

The most relatable panel ever posted under "One Panel". Whenever you're being stymied by some wretched piece of technology and you just start pressing buttons - often the very same button - until you get a result, or more often, no result or a worse result. This is why people in movies clickety-click in a way that, in the real world, would just disconnect the line. We somehow understand this shorthand as "frustration with technology".
