Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 17, 2013
Transcript:
Danae: So... back from the future, Jeffrey? Jeffrey: Yeah. Danae: And what did you learn? Jeffrey: Well... I can't say much, because it could alter events, but I can tell you that I go into medical research and become the head of the C.D.C. Danae: Ok, and...? Jeffrey: And... what? Danae: You know what. Jeffrey: *sigh* Ok, Ok... and... there's no zombie apocalypse. But I'm guessing that's 'cuz as head of the C.D.C., I prevent it from happening. Danae: Shrieek I give up! Jeffrey: Wow... so much for gratitude.

Who says Sunday comics canāt continue the story? You just have to be goodā¦And Wileyās well known as being indisputably great,so itās easy for himā¦ but still, itās pretty coolā¦.
Varnes almost 12 years ago
But, seriously, how do we know Jeffry isnāt already a zombie?" BTW, could he have come back ten seconds before he left? Because that would be kinda cool to seeā¦.

I love Danaeās expression in panel oneā¦.And is it just me, or is that thing bigger on the inside than it is on the outside? Now THATāS ergonomicsā¦..
The#1BoiseStateFan almost 12 years ago
Hard to take in no ZA for Jeffrey.
WillardMBaker almost 12 years ago
Actually, the scale of third panel is larger. Note the size of Jeffery and how crowded it is in there for him.

He doesnāt want to tell her there married with children
Proginoskes almost 12 years ago
@ Odd Dog: āthey areā = theyāre. āat that placeā = there. ābelonging to themā = their. I know, thatās so hard to remember, getting three common words correct.

Kidās got a time machine and he choses to go into medical research?! He has no idea how to take advantage of technology.

So Jeffrey does fulfill his dream of fighting zombies.

In theory if you traveled to the future you would not be able to see what happens to yourself because you would of been a missing person sence the date you left. I think Wells discused about this in The Time Machine.
Tue Elung-Jensen almost 12 years ago
He just didnĀ“t go far enough into the future..

Humanity NEEDS to create a self sustaining base on the Moon. The scientific benefits would be incredible, but it would also serve as a last-chance for humanity to survive a world threatening incident.
dabugger almost 12 years ago
So, the kids mimicked the republicans who misuse meaningfulness to their advantage. Just a bit of pubescent hypocrisy.
route66paul almost 12 years ago
self sustaining base on the moon. Since the moon does not have enough gravity to keep an atmosphere, that would be a good trick. How could you assure an unending amount of the gases need to breathe and sustain plant life, as well as a working food chain. Until anti gravity is invented, there is no way to keep 100% of the atmosphere needed for life.

Wow, I wasnāt expecting the conclusion today. Iāve heard you have to send in all the strips involved with a Sunday publication REALLY early, rather than just a couple weeks early as with weekday ones.
Surprised, and a little disappointed. A future trip could have been a good storyline.

Thank you Proginoskesā¦ā¦bad grammar always upsets me.

ā¦And it is that kind of circular argument that keeps governments cloaked in secrecy and agencies like the TSA running.ā¦They canāt exactly tell us what they have done to keep us safe, only that they have done it.ā¦And we wonder why these governments and their agencies cost so muchā¦
Rickapolis almost 12 years ago
Soā¦he doesnāt have a zombie in the time machine with him?
Mokurai almost 12 years ago
Danae is confronted by the impossibility of convincing a nutjob conspiracy-type theorist of any form of truth, and is equally incapable of drawing the correct conclusion from this experience. Now where have we encountered that problem?
Has anybody been watching the coverage of CPAC?

Nothing to see here folksā¦.just move alongā¦..
Ernest Lemmingway almost 12 years ago
Humans in the modern world achieving, much less maintaining, self-sustaining practices. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!! Now tell me the one about Bigfoot and the honest politician! Humanity has proven, time and time again, that theyāre either too apathetic or too greedy to change their ways. The zombies that kill us off wonāt be walking corpses, theyāll be us as we are right now. Blindly thinking āthings will be better in the future.ā Thatās the thing about āthe future;ā it soon becomes the present.
Jason Case almost 12 years ago
By that you mean that she would change?
Hunter7 almost 12 years ago
Did Jeffrey go far enough into the future? Just because he discovered he was head of the CDC doesnāt mean he stopped the Zombies. Only that there were none around when he was in the future.
Caddy57 almost 12 years ago
Aaaand it wonāt be long until they start calling him Doctor Whatā¦..becaaaaause drum roll pleaseā¦..Doctor Who is already takenā¦..YESSSSSSSSS
ossiningaling almost 12 years ago
Sure thereās no zombie apocalypse. If you donāt count the CDC being run by booger-brained boys!

grammar police? lol. just incredible ignorance in spelling. that is enough in itself. the ability to communicate, say what you want and have someone else other than you get it. with Google as a dictionary, itās hard to believe bad spelling isnāt a personal attack on the minds of others. The zombies of language. just hurts to see bad language in the age of the internet. more Repubican behavior. no attempt to be āfactualā.
lol. somethings never change.
