Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 20, 2013

Tol’ ya Eddie was fulla hot air!

May be you’re overdoing the FOOMP???? Anyway, Pauliebelieves you, that’s the important thing.

What exactly caused the FOOMP? Flo’s cooking?

The balloon goes FOOMP… Just like the air-bag in your car does when a stupid ten-point buck steps out in front of you…FOOMP… instant total wreck and the deer limps away.

Love the name of his boat… So appropriate!

As good storytellers down through history know, never let physics or facts interfere with a good yarn!

Otis B. Driftwood: It’s all right, that’s in every contract. That’s what they call a sanity clause.

[Fiorello laughs loudly]

Fiorello: You can’t fool me! There ain’t no Sanity Claus!

I wonder if Wiley has checked the word in the “Why did you look this word up?” at Merriam-Webster.com. ALL the comments refer to this strip.

As my grandmother used to say: " He never lets the truth get in the way of a good story. "

Love the word FOOMP!

Kinda off topic, but I was wondering… How old were most of you when you stopped believing in Santa?

ok, but does anyone care; no one would pay for fantasy….

Visions of Peter ’Potomus!

We hear Santa is investigating whale tail (tale? stahry?) sleigh propulsion. This foomph balloon thingy isn’t fast enough.

There’s no entry on Wiki for Anoesis. Also none for Whatchamacallit, Maine dialect. We should start those. Wiley, you should write those.

All the Santa Claus stuff is pretty silly, isn’t it? It’s like saying he hit the Tooth Fairy or Peter Pan. Geez…enough already.

With flying reindeer to keep the boat afloat who needs a hot air balloon? Silly me Eddie is just along for the ride!
