This Google programmer drew a very funny cartoon about how hard it is to find a Pixel phone

And it's not even the first time that a Google gadget has been hard to find. Dating back to 2013 and the Nexus 4 phone, Google has struggled to keep its own flagship hardware on the shelves. Every time, Google says it'll do better. But you still might not be able to find a Pixel.
