Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 18, 2010

RAOTFLOL. Now THAT’S a wedgie worthy of the name.

May I say he got cracked-up over saying that?

OMG, this town doesn’t stand a chance! I think everyone has met their match.

Man, Victoria and Danae are going to be a dangerous duo when she’s not putting Danae in her place.

I wonder if Joe had to find out the hard way.

I think “Atomic” doesn’t quite do that one justice, I’m thinking a “High yield thermal nuclear” wedgie.

A victorious assault.

Oh come on, what’s wrong with Vick.. YEEEAAAAARRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They can call this one, “New Adventures of Mean Victoria.”

I think Bob knew what was about to happen and is probably lovin every minute.

My bad guys, I meant Joe knew since he probably made the same mistake.

Hey, I didn’t know Bob was Joe’s brother. I thought he was just a good friend at the bar.

I thought ‘Bob’ was Tricky Dicky Nixon’s reincarnation …

Yup, Bob the lawyer, shifty-eyed and Nixonian to the core.

I predict Vic-um-toria will be quite a mentor to Danae!

Heckfire Joe-Allen, caught me by surprise too!

So, Vicki is a bi…

What I like about Victoria (a lot, actually) is that she seems to be a good compliment to both Danae and Kate. Of course, that means she could be the force that unites them into a powerful triad that will take over the world – or at least the house.

I also was unaware that Bob was Joe’s brother, and I’ve been following this strip for a few years…

Any chance Bob might hook up with Brenda (remember Brenda?)? Or maybe Victoria will switch over to Bob and Joe will get back together with Brenda? (the plot sickens… ;) ).

Does Joe’s ex ever bother to visit (or even communicate) with her daughters?

With all this meddling in the private affairs of cartoon characters, maybe I need a life? :)

Vicky, Vicky, Vicky!

What would she do if a Scot in full Highland regalia called her ‘Vickie’?

I can just imagine NebulousRikulau…

This series is going to be so much fun to read…

NebulousRikulau: I don’t know, but I’m not gonna try and find out.

That is Vic with a key on it.

Veni, Vidi, Vickie!

She has too many issues and too much baggage, dump her Joe.

For those who may have missed it… a couple of years ago, Wiley gave Bob a storyline for a few days, and he identified himself as “Bob Pyle, Esq” - dead giveaway.

Long-time Non Sequitur fans already know who Victoria is.

…hmm, a maternal character. Could she possibly meet and conflict with Jennifer?

So thats what I do whenever someone tries to call me Becky… I hate it when people try to shorten my name without asking what I prefer, its so rude!

As a Mitchell who despises being called Mitch, I applaud Victoria’s actions.

I had aunts who called me Ginny Lou- which I hated! Never minded being called “Virg” by the guys back when I was directing projects in my hard hat. Virginia Louise is a rather boring name, but it’s what my parents gave me.

@vexatron, Because your name is George? Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

I love it. You should call people by whatever name they introduce themselves as. Not everyone likes nicknames.

So it was Victoria who invented Ronco’s Wedgamatic.

she just likes touching his underwear

love Victoria more and more!

Because every man should have a vindictive spouse. Yikes.

Are atomic wedgies related in any way to nuclear coffee?

Okay, Obviousman fans, how could you miss: “I thought atomic underwear has always been…Victoria’s Secret.”

“Especially if it disappears at the crack of..dawn.”

1st, Vicki is WAY to high maintenance. I’m liking her less and less. Is she gonna be pain in the arse with Eddie or Flo too?

2nd, I forgot Bob and Joe were Brothers.

So now we know Victoria’s Secret - don’t call her Vicki

So that’s Bob. I’ve thought it was Richard M. Nixon incognito. (Wedgie well deserved anyway, assumed familiarity MUST be squelched.) What is the fallout from Danae’s boredom?

Dump “Vickie”. She is a wacko.

Danae has good reason to be the way she is.

Up to now, I have liked Victoria but this stunt did very little for me. When I see this type of behavior, I wonder if it would be okay to yank on her undergarments (whatever that might be) if she said something a stranger didn’t appreciate but that would not seem very funny.

Maybe I should just accept that all men by their very nature are inconsiderate jerks but then again I am a guy so what do I know.

Yikes, it’s not Vicki nor Victoria, boys….it’s Vamptoria!

is that to be Danae + 20 years?

See, Wiley –

All you had to do to get Victoria to win the hearts of your readers was give a wedgie to a lawyer!

Love Victoria!

Joe doesn’t seem to me to be the kind of guy who would have made that mistake.

@Wiley-

You do realize that if we needed to see another vindictive female, all some of us would have to do would be to go out into the living room and see her sitting there on the couch.

Some of us come here to escape reality for a while. ;^)

Victoria, meet Tina, the brittle tech writer c/o Dilbert. Maybe you can teach her how being neurotic and thin-skinned can be endearing. At least, some people find it so. Me, I think you’re better off spending the rest of your life picking cat hair out of your lean cuisine.

i keep looking for Jack Russles…

cartoon Jack Russels that is!

There are fraternities , including litigates , that would dig deep , to reward Victoria for this HIGH quality service . Judging by the smile , she’d gladly preform it , at no cost , at any opportunity. In any cartoon , she’s Victoria to Me !

You say that like someone can be over the age of 14 and not have issues. Never met one and I don’t expect that I ever will.

NebulousRikulau, Victoria would then find out exactly what a Scotsman doesn’t wear under the kilt.

Dude, it’s a childish prank, and an example that Victoria isn’t a character that’s going to get walked over. If anything, I think this was done to foreshadow that she’s not just going to let Danae get her way anytime she wants, but is perfectly capable of putting her in her place without fear.

In other words: DON’T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY! I get too much of that on the superhero boards I visit.. I don’t need that kind of drama here.

Bring Back Brenda!

Victoria’s getting meaner by the strip. For some reason I thought she would be a sweet person when first introduced, but now shes just plain mean. You should tone it down a little Wiley, and leave the wedgies to Danae.

I just have to clarify: Just what does a Regimental Scotsman wear under his kilt? His shoes.

Personally I hate to have my name shortened (I am NOT a Chris) and so sympathize with Victoria here.

I suspect that Joe had a lot more to do with that Atomic Wedgie than might be apparent at first. Joe appears to be the younger brother, and so this may well have been an orchestrated event for proxy-revenge on his part. How much would you like to bet that Joe suffered through many a wedgie from his “dear” brother through the years? That’s my take on the matter, and I’m sticking to it. =]

Boy, I know I’ve been here just a short time, but this might be the most divisive strip I’ve seen so far. And I gots to tell ya that compared to some of the bleeep I’ve done in my strips, this is tame. I mean I’ve had Duela Dent blow up half of the DC universe Tom and Jerry style, had Blue Beetle give Traci 13 a coolie hat for a christmas gift, and had Linda Danvers try to murder Kara Zor-El numerous times.

So I guess if Victoria calls Bob ‘Robert’ someday it’ll be OK for him to give her a right-and-proper open hand pimp slap to the side if the face? I see no humor in this strip and make’s me dislike Vic even more.

I agree with a previous posts and say Dump her now Joe while you have the chance! And yea, I like NS to escape reality not be reminded of it.

@Wiley

Yes, it is. But I prefer that my cartoons NOT mimic the meanness I see every day. For me they’re an avenue of escape from the suckage that is real life. Example: I all but stopped reading Peanuts when I was a kid because I knew too many cruel girls in real life. The character of Lucy did nothing but remind me of them.

There are fraternities , including litigates , that would dig deep , to reward Lucy for that cruel girl service . But for me , malicious people suck !
