Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 15, 2013
Transcript:
Homer the reluctant soul Duncan's side of the Roman Adventure Duncan: Homer had been gone for several days... The loyalty thing was literally a pain...I was starving while guarding all that fresh meat, but I knew... Duncan: Nature will let me know when to stop waiting for Homer to return. Of course, the message is usually delivered with much more subtlety. Next week: Separate but feeble.

I love the sheep in the last big panel! Reminds me of Shawn the Sheep cartoon. The sheep are so lively and personable!
