The good news for Google is that lots of people seem to love its flagship Pixel phones.
This Google programmer drew a very funny cartoon about how hard it is to find a Pixel phone (GOOG, GOOGL)
If you can't find a Pixel phone, Google programmer and cartoonist Manu Cornet feels your pain.
The bad news is that those good reviews have led to higher demand, meaning that the Pixel — and its larger Pixel XL sibling — can be frustratingly hard to find in stock, even at Google's own online store.
It's not the first time a Google gadget has been hard to find. Since 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.
It's a frustration that even Google's employees have apparently felt. Google Chrome OS engineer Manu Cornet — @lmanul on Twitter — drew this funny cartoon, called "Shortages," about the struggle to find a Pixel.
