Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 11, 2012

Oooooh, snap!

I can hear my GPS now!Reconfiguring. Would you like to go to Uranus?

Cut the line!Cut the line!

Excuse me, but I’ve been ill, took a six-hour nap yesterday afternoon, and got my schedule messed up. Posted something about yesterday’s narcissists too late for anyone else to see. Here it is again (feeling a little better now):Just thought of da-DUM, da-DUM. da-diddle-de-dum-de DOO!To hear the music for “Narcissus,” go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNm-IhQ_h08The original Narcissus was a comely Greek youth who, according to the myth, caught sight of himself in a pool of water. He was so captivated by his image that he stared at himself till he fell in and drowned. The powers that be’d took pity and changed him into a narcissus bloom – it’s a flower that looks like a daffodil, but is smaller and colored white.

Charlie Brown never had that problem.

And as if Wiley isn’t busy enough, why isn’t he working on rough drafts of Jeffrey and Danae as a young married couple….or better yet, middle aged…..

Sorry, Danae, statements like that make you sound like space junk…Lighten up…You’re going to marry his sorry ass someday….

NASA is working on a Space Vacuum cleaner!

Excuse me, but girls are kinda weird, too….Seriously, I have the scars to prove it…..

Tie the line to a tree and get another kite.

The Space Surveillance Network is currently watching about 8,000 objects currently in orbit. Approximately 560 of those objects in space are actually operational satellites, and the rest are dead satellites, or pieces of space debris.

What Jeffery’s doing is impossibly wrong on so many levels. For example, assuming it was sufficiently strong, a length of twine long enough to reach the lower limit of low Earth orbit would weigh approximately 360 kilograms (or 800 pounds). The lifting power of a kite capable of supporting that weight would be much too forceful for Jeffery to hold in his hands.`(Yes, I do have too much time on my hands.)

a kite-eating satellite?

Jeffrey’s getting yanked into orbit at 17,000 mph!

jeffrey is not in nasa? if he was, man will land on mars. and, maybe a space colony on the moon. and, danae…girls are weird.

If you rotate the question mark clockwise 90 degrees.It does look like Charlie Brown.Easter egg?

I can’t even begin to tell you the reasons why that would be impossible, rocket boosters and all.

Must be geosynchronous, else it’d pull a bit. That’s really high, and I am not sure space junk is a problem up there. More bad science?

I’ve heard, via the ubiquitous grapevine – I think the source was Dr. Filipenko, that our 7th planet will be soon renamed from Uranus to Myanus! All cheer for Myanus!

poppy, who would have thunk junk would be the Earth’s electrons…..?

Firedome, Yeah, evidently Charlie Brown had it easy……Trees don’t yank you into space at 7,000 mph…Of course, I could be wrong, but I bet the string would last for a while, but at some point it would break, at about the time Jeffrey was at thirty thousand feet. Oops! Crashed face first into a mountain…

Well, this explains my cell phone reception the last couple of days!

Dear Gokie5 – I think you’re the Narcissist to think the rest of us can’t go a day without hearing from you!

He’s just caught up in a little reality……a growing experience…

No wind that high up!

The satellites are moving faster than the earth itself.Due to much larger orbit.Otherwise theyre really stationary.

Wall-E addressed this issue as well – and when he travelled through it – the last one to clear his path was Sputnik – I thought that was clever.

“Space junk?” Must be the satellite for Fox News. (Now. . . run!!)

Shades of Charlie Brown. It is kite eating space junk!

stoopid kite eating satellite. Bet it is also the one that gives the GPS directions.

I’m glad to see “BC” writers Mastroianni and Hart haven’t forgotten … but nearly every cartoonist has decided their strips are too important for posting Remembrance/Armistice/Veterans Day accolades in. SHAME ON YOU WILEY!

Oh,come on Jeffery,reel in the stupid space junk.Put your back into it boy…you can do it!

Happens to me all the time…

WEIRD???… A boy who gets his kite raveled up in “stupid space junk” would be marrying me!… (Figured out how to bypass the trees using his rocket boosters, “here let me fix you a sandwich…”)… Now, now, I agree, you’ll just have to tie a line to the tree until you can find a way to communicate w/ those satellites to shimmy the line off…

I wish I could get my kite to go that high!

Allen, GoAway….You’re brand of patriotism brings disrespect to our fallen heroes…Shame on you, sir…

Telling people they should be patriotic reaks of dictatorship ..Please…just GoAway…Sorry wiley, I’ll back off now. It’s just sometimes….

That’s the 2nd longest name I’ve seen in my life
