Once watching a very well known UK cartoonist take the stage at prestigious book festival, their phone rang within seconds of starting the event. Turned out to be their daughter phoning to remind them to switch off the phone before their event 😁

Has anyone else ever been moderating a comics panel and had one of the panellists very loudly take a call on their mobile phone while the rest of us are trying to keep the discussion going? Or is that just the kind of thing that only happens to me? (10 years later and still scarred.)
