Review/plot:
A silly story. Dr. Strange becomes inundated with people troubled by minor mystical attacks after "coincidentally" hearing an ad for a "troll fee" number that rings a phone in Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum that he didn't even know he had.
Even Wong, watching General Hospital, sees an ad.
Dr. Strange sends his astral form into the phone lines and confirms that the ads are indeed the work of trolls.
Dr. Strange defeats them by transferring all their calls to the IRS.
It's so ridiculous that i actually enjoyed it.

Comments
Why do I suddenly have an image here of Odin revoking these trolls phone privileges?
