Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

As an artist, I would struggle with that panel. Not because I don't know how phones work, but I want to be able to depict the words coming from the phone, not the character holding the phone, without the reader getting confused about who's is saying what.

Sure, it's inaccurate, but it's also functional.

I think even if you put the speech bubble next to the phone it would be fine, since the phone uses a different speech bubble style than the previous panel

I dunno? Maybe put the headset on the other ear and point to the ear piece.

I still have no idea what’s going on…. (John wick? Some recluse? I’m confused.)

It's a reference to The Ring, a Japanese horror that was remade in the US. It's about people watching a tape. The depicted girl is Samara, who crawls out of the TV set and warns people that they'll die within 7 days (and then makes sure that happens). Idk it's been a long time since I saw it

Close up on face and phone, would be my guess on how to easily resolve this while keeping the same tone
