This comic is so old, the general discourse hadn't arrived at a consensus on car horn onomatopoeia. That's kinda neat.
Yep! I noticed something like this in an early-20th-century book I've been reading: the "hello" word we take for granted was spelled "halloa." I've been meaning to look more into the history of that one.
Ahoy ahoy

Oh pardon my intrusion, I may have dialed in error. I was attempting to contact number four.
