Please hold the line sir

What it means

A smiling call-center operator asks the caller to hold while the lower panel shows an enormous futuristic battlefield with soldiers, banners, and war machines charging into combat. The joke treats being put on hold as if the caller is being sent into an apocalyptic war, making it a reaction to frustrating customer service or a long wait.
