Help me find this comic about people "tied to their phone" (but not)?

A while ago I saw a two-panel comic, probably on Tumblr (since it's a very Tumblry sentiment), which was a takeoff on the "people these days just stare at their phones" genre, but which showed that those same people were using their devices to connect to friends and loved ones. Help me find it?
It was set up with two wide panels, one atop the other. The top panel had a bunch of people sitting on benches, staring at their phones, all in grey, like the perfect dystopian setup for a "people today don't pay attention to one another" moral.
The second panel showed the same thing from "over the shoulder" of the people, showing that their screens were full of friends and family -- and the screens were in vivid color.
Does that ring a bell with anyone? It was a great retort to the "people are isolated because they're on their phones all the time" thing, except for the part where I can't find it now. Thanks!
