Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 03, 2014

Ah, heck, I love the story, keep goin’ Eddie!…What’s the problem? The plot is clear and simple…Although, the first panel is a little confusing, except for the wonderful bears, the fishes with their little fish bubbles..and the shark, the microphone, the chair, and of course sweet sweet Paully…But other than that it’s confusing…..

Is he on trial before a jury of his piers?

Now THAT makes sense – though it looks like one of those Senate committees they have in the US.

That is no courtroom. Remember yesterday’s strip in which Eddie was taken to a building with a large dome? He has been hauled in front of a legislative committee. There is no way to know which districts the bears represents but the gator on the end would be from either Florida or Louisiana.

I think Eddie got into the stash Uncle Duke used to dip into… that would explain this story arc. (Or maybe Wiley found it…)

What this panel wants to know is,are you now or have you ever been a crustacean? Just answer the question.

Flo needs to toss in freebie translator.

At least there is some unity about dealing with Eddie.

“Sanskrit? You’re majoring in a 5,000-year-old dead language? Here, Latin. It’s the best that I can do.”

I had a boss whose handwriting was almost impossible to read. I kept asking him to use the Roman alphabet. I accused him of going to medical school to learn penmanship.

If Eddie is on medication, I want some. Looks like it could be fun. 8^)

“I met a number of guys like Eddie when I worked at a Royal Canadian Legion in Alberta.”Well put, RW, especially the last sentence.

Is anyone out there sure that in a past profession, that Eddie didn’t have a medical degree? From what I’ve seen and been through….a doctor once sent a prescription (hand written) with me to a pharmacy to be filled, the druggist handed it back to me because he could not read it. Get my point?

Gokie, dang, I did, didn’t I? I’m slippin’… Of course, now it all makes perfect sense….Or is that just a crock?

If Eddie went back to the original, it would have to be Proto-Indo-European. Sanskrit came along around 1000 BCE. Hittite is the oldest known Indo-European

Hilarious! You made my day!

Wiley bears are the happiest looking bears in comicdom

Maybe Eddie smokes DMT in that pipe.

Something about bearing the truth to the subcommittee that was fishing for answers?
