Up until early 2020, I used a corded desk phone at work, regularly. At my new workplace which I started this year, there is also a desk phone but they did not set it up because I’m working from home 80%-ish of the time, due to The Plague. Otherwise, it would probable see regular use.

My best explanation:
After panel 3, Frigg turns left, and grabs Wav’s neck, while still turning (i.e. with her left side towards him.
WAV’s strike also includes a left turn, so the two would be circling each other, which means that WAV would not be picked up and thrown right across Frigg, but rather Frigg would be side-stepping his blow on his left side, while using his movement to throw him. So she’s only half pulling him towards and over herself, half running towards/past him.

The only thing not quite consistent with this is the arc in the last panel which seems to indicate WAV’s trajectory: If we assume that Frigg wasn’t stationary during the throw, either, then that doesn’t mean he had to pass over Frigg at any point, which would have been hard to accomplish from the prior position, but WAV’s arc would then need to have a little bit of a sideways component.

But what fraction of people use the phones on their desks? The only reason I ever used mine was that I used to work on the dialer and phone apps for the Fire Phone, and sometimes I didn’t feel like pulling my personal phone out when I needed to make or receive a call for testing.

That’s an urban legend. Coke used Santa as he was already represented in the US.
