Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 20, 2010
Transcript:
Danae: I don't get it, Victoria...why are men in control of everything? Victoria: I guess you're old enough to be told now... ...We just let them think they are. Danae: Oh. So we're punking them?! Victoria: Shhh! Not so loud... Lucy: See? There's a reason for everything.

It was getting time for the revelation; now she has to be sworn to the secrecy of the fact.
Many of us have known this for years, but considering, we don’t mind.
After all, it’s not like the mice running the experiment on the humans (a la Hitchhiker’s Guide).

Oh, no. Now she knows that Stinky, booger-brain boys don’t control everything. This can’t be good.

I just love Danae and Lucy’s expressions in the third panel. The realization of a new perception.

My nephew told me he was in charge of his family. He said his wife gave him permission. Geez…….guess it’s really true…the man works to support the nest.
If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!

I love Victoria - she’s so intuitive!

Women say the world would be a better place if they were in charge.Next they say they are secretly in charge….
So it’s secretly a better place, then?

…And we secretly know that they’re in charge and don’t mind.

As long as there are male leaders on this planet, there will always be war.
Whatroughbeast over 14 years ago
^ Yes, that’s true. If you don’t believe us just ask Golda Meir and Maggie Thatcher.

My boyfriend uses that as an excuse to tell me anything he does that is “naughty” is my fault since women secretly rule the world.

The trouble with women like Victoria is, they confuse love and indulgence with control and obedience.
KEA over 14 years ago
If women are in control of this planet, they’re sure doing a lousy job.
pawpawbear over 14 years ago
I gave up. Now I can proudly say it ain’t my fault.

So, secretly, a woman controls Osama Bin Laden, and controlled Sadam Hussein?
Hmmm no wonder there are wars!
CatComixzStudios over 14 years ago
Does it really matter which gender controls the world? Both men and women can be evil, dumb, and make bad choices. It’s how a person’s raised that decides what they’ll be like, not chromosomes.

Is Victoria smart enough to know how to handle with these men, isn’t she?

A question for the ages: Why is it we recognize when a man is stupid, but when a woman proves she is, we think it’s cute?
ronaldmundy over 14 years ago
ahh, and therein lies the rub.

When my wife goes on vacation, I say that I am unsupervised. Vacations are good.

I need say nothing more than my wife is known as the Little General.

She just made Danae’s day. I’ve never seen her so happy!
lazygrazer over 14 years ago
A woman controled everyone’s destiny in Eden….and we men have been getting ribbed about it ever since.
Sad Kitty over 14 years ago
I wonder what Victoria was like at Dana’s age.
GROG Premium Member over 14 years ago
sadkitty, maybe some day Wiley will do a flash back to Victoria’s childhood days. Then again, maybe not.

Every woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything. - Paris Hilton
Trebor39 over 14 years ago
It’s a time warp. Victoria and Danae are the same.
NoBrandName over 14 years ago
attyush - given recent events, I think your #3 is covered. XD
I don’t think the problem is either men or women. I think it’s people. Of course the solution is people, too.

Faulkner: “A women is born knowing what it takes a man a lifetime to find out.” That is that no one has any idea what they’re doing so you may as well have some chocolate and try to change the world through your kids.

Behind every great man is a woman, who’s saying; “If you were a real man you wouldn’t let him get away with that.”
artybee over 14 years ago
sadkitty – Great question!!!
andymeijers over 14 years ago
‘Women really being in charge, but letting men think they are’ is SUCH a sexist cliche. And sexist in both directions, to boot.
ronaldmundy over 14 years ago
behind every man is a women rollin’ her eyes.

“The man may be the head of the house, but the woman is the neck, and we can turn it any way we want” Or something like that, from “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”

I wondered why my wife and two daughters always leave the dishes and laundry for me to do.
camelsamba2 over 14 years ago
Is this the revelation that Wiley was promising us a few days back?? I can’t believe he revealed our secret this way!
(okay, i know it was probably about the reuben award nomination [a golden sandwich??], but this is more fun :^)

Victoria offers Danae a paradigm shift, and she is more than ready to accept the concept. Love those gals; Danae, Victoria and Lucy. .
michealdark over 14 years ago
So, yes! Danae and Victoria are perfect for eachother. I can’t imagine anyone else being Danae’s mom at this point. Strong enough to put Danae in her place, playful enough to roll with her as well. And finally, a Victoria comic where people aren’t calling her names or saying she’s a controling bitch!
Sad Kitty over 14 years ago
artybee Thank you

Reminds me of an old movie dialogue: “A man maybe the Head of the family, but the woman is the neck. She can turn the head any way she want.”
And to all the ladies who are smirking out there, now we know who’s responsible for all the Environmental, Financial, and God knows what not, mess we’re in.
Creniere over 14 years ago
Yeah….right…. smirk
mememe2020 over 14 years ago
That is very hilarious. Let them think so, but not really. JK, yes really
