Rating: True

A comic strip allegedly published in 1919 is often shared on social media due to the work's apparent prescience. The comic, records show, is genuine and stems from a March 5, 1919 edition of the British tabloid The Mirror. It was titled, "The Pocket Telephone: When Will It Ring," and the answer to that question was, according to the illustration, essentially all the time.
