How did the TurtleCom predate cell phones?
In the 1987 series, the Turtles and April all use the Turtle com to keep in contact with each other, similar to a modern day cell phone.
But this was 1987. Excuse my ignorance, but did any sort of mobile phone exist back then? |

When I was a kid, I remember thinking that they must be magical or something. Which now makes me wonder what was wrong with me because I apparently had never heard of a walkie-talkie.

Wow dude, worst thread ever. Even when I was a kid I just figured they were glorified walky-talkys.

As have been said cell phones have basically always been around in one form or another. In the 80's they were like these huge bulky things....and car phones have been around since the 70's (first appeared in Finland in 1971).

My mom had me say "Turtle Call" because "comm" sounded susupiciously like "cum" when spoken from my young mouth.

Chester Gould introduced Dick Tracy's (now iconic) 2-Way Wrist Radio in the 1940's.
