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
Who could be calling at this hour?
Oh pardon my intrusion, I may have dialed in error. I was attempting to contact number four.
