Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 04, 2010

One nag meets another (Lucy).

Oh this CANOT be good. Once again I sense a disturbance in the force, a darkness coming there is. No good an alliance these two bewteen can be.

Love Victoria!

She’s a great addition to the family! (And has some unexpected reactions!)

seems to me like Victoria and Danae will get along splendidly. (it’s the end of the world, as we know it, and i feel fine.)

You would be too, if you never even had your own horse in a stable even.

This could be lot’s of fun!

And here I thought Danae was the only one that could see the horse.

ONE LESS TRIP TO THE BARN…..LOL

Agree, LuvH8. I like Victoria’s style (and yours too).

LordDogmore, love your comments… I was imagining Yoda saying all that stuff too… LOL!!!!

me too, me too.

who wouldn’t want a 4 hand horse.

At some point every woman was a little girl wanting a pony/horse!

Score one for Victoria. Love it.

pearlandpeach reminded me… Lucy has two legs in the rear, and forelegs up front. That makes six legs. Six legs are truly an odd number of legs for a horse to have. The only thing that can be both an even number and an odd number is infinity. Therefore, Lucy has an infinite number of legs. And four hands. (where’s my coffee?)

maybe pony on the grill tonight ?

Wiley you are great! I have met Victoria’s kind before, they ingratiate themselves till you are hooked then try to take over. Having said that, it gives the storyline great foreboding.

My thought is that Victoria is just the kind of crazy fun person who will fit in fine. She’s probably been lonely and has finally found a man and kids that she can relate to.

Let’s just hope Victoria doesn’t start channeling Catherine the Great and Sappho simultaneously.

Is it just me, or has Victoria been drawn a little more angular? She used to be softer, more curved. Love the development though!

I can see no good in Victoria. She will want to rule the roost.

She will always be Victoria-us

The thrill is gone, eh Danae?

Love it!

At some point Victoria’s other shoe is going to drop–Right on Danae.

Lewreader duh… She is a woman after all. LOL

Here we go, getting into subjective reality animals again. Of course, after Victoria leaves, THEN, Lucy will talk!

HowieL nailed it! A mathematical proof a la Non Sequitur. More elegant than a direct proof, yet more disturbing than proof-by-contradiction. Non Sequitur should be added to the math curriculum taught today.

I am not sure about Victoria. She could be foe and not friend to Danae. Lucy might be sent to a …”gasp!” stable. I hope they all live happily ever after. We’ll have to wait and see.

On the other hand, as Abe Lincoln once asked, “How many legs does a horse have if you call its tail a leg?

“Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it one.”

I still only see four legs (and no hands) on Lucy, even if she does have four legs on the bottom, two on each side, two in back, two in front, and one on each corner–sixteen so far, if anyone’s counting…

Victoria…. I like the way that woman thinks. Her name fits.

non sequiter– is one of the best ones you have in your collection-good political and fantisy line

Yes the variety of opinions on her is really interesting. Like some others, I thought her features looked more angular today ;-)

I’ll add my opinion to the mix (uninteresting though it is ;) ) - I like Victoria. I think she’ll be a great addition to the family.

Victoria looks older all of a sudden. She used to be kinda cute..

will Victoria be able to talk to Lucy? stay tuned….. I can hardly wait!

I agree with Doctor Toon !

Thinking the same thing Wmeinert…

Ah, the plot thickens….

(Had an ex-fiance alot like Victoria once….likeably sweet and cleverly ingratiating.)

A horse is a horse, of course of course, unless of course, the horse is the famous Lucy.

Sorry, it’s stuck in my head.

Panel 1 reminds me of Mz Clinton. Panel 4 seems more angular than when in the bar talking to Joe and asking questions. The artwork seems to also make her look less youthful.

LuvH8, I understand. Once it’s in your head there’s no way to get rid of it.

Victoria is fascinating. What is her real nature? Yes, indeed this story arc will be a fun ride.

I always take Doctor Toon cereally, he is a doctor after all.

Thank you Adda

I was wondering when Victoria was going to get around to the Lucy situation. My fear has been that she will try to banish her outside. If she does, Danae will stay outside with her…..until she gets cold, then she’ll go back in because she is all about her own comfort. Lucy will call her on it & she’ll say she doesn’t have the means a horse has to endure life outside. Lucy will forgive her; she always does.

Victoria’s starting to look kind of Joan Crawford-esque to me…

I happen to like Victoria very much and think she is a great addition to the strip. Notice folks, Victoria says “on the bed” NOT “in the room”. Wiley strikes me as very careful about how he uses the language. Lastly, in case someone is actually taking the “hands” thing seriously, “four hands” refers to the house’s height at the shoulder, not the number of appendages. :-)

I dont know where it is going - I dont care where its going - just keep it going

Loving it

Actually, a ‘hand’ (4 inches) is a height measurement of a horse (not a house ) taken at the withers, not at the shoulder.

Victoria’s looking older and I have a horse’s head in my bed. What’s wrong with that? And LuvH8, I don’t think I’d like Doctor Toon on my cereal.

Don’t care where Wiley is taking us with Victoria - I’m just enjoying the journey!

I so would have loved a step-mother like Victoria…

I too noticed that Victoria looks suddenly older and more harsh – is that a reaction to dealing with Danae – and so quickly!!?

whitecaraboo, Thank you for your understanding, we must have cross posted and yes it is going to be a fun ride. I can’t wait to see what happens.

Wiley-Oh, I think I got Victoria perfectly. I think she’s going to make for some nice conflict because I think Danae and her will grow to love eachother deeply, but she’s always going to keep Danae on her toes.
