Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 21, 2010

Maybe its just rapid climate change.

@landshark67…..this one is named for you!

Another result of “global Warming”! This is all Al Gore’s Fault.

The Bermuda Triangle.

timewarp!…….or a “trip” i had in the 70’s.

sorry you’re mistaken. Just like the interwebs, Al Gore INVENTED climate change.

would someone find something for Al to do, he has to much time on his hands. Idle hands and all, you know , , ,

I think, perhaps, that Al Gore should go back to succoring his beloved tobacco.

Clash of the Hallucination, who will survive?!?

My question would be why would anyone hallucinate that in the first place?!

Good one Wiley!

This beats the New Yorker Cartoon Contest hands down! The answers that win are usually lousy and the comics just too bizarre! (Can you hear the sour grapes from someone who has submitted numerous suggestions?)

Why is it you drink, Timmy me boy? It gets rid of the hallucinations.

“Wonder if I should tell him about the bats. Eh, he’ll find out soon enough on his own, poor bastige.”

Funny, the first snow storm the oil company men come out to say it disproves global warming and then the really early spring, the volcanic actions in Iceland, the sea level rising, the change in the gulf stream, these all count for nothing. Right. Al Gore didn’t develop the model that global warming is based on, but he makes a nice tart target to attack as the world crumbles. When it leads to a nuclear winter situation in America by changing the gulf stream, be sure to blame Al for not doing anything about it. I’m sure the yahoos will believe you then, too. if they can defrost their TVs.

Very funny today, Wiley - and some of the comments too.

Is this bikini the spammer? I saw the same post on FBFW

Yeah, bikini030 is a covert spammer. Flagged

Would anyone WANT to hallucinate about being trapped on a desert island with a shark circling it? Now if it was a dessert island…..with a tartar sauce fountain…

You can tell these gentlemen are Democrats. If they were Republicans, they would be hallucinating Sarah Palin in leather. And she’s saying something that makes sense.

grapfhics…”I get to see things in real black and white…I disPISE electric pink!” “Oh well, another day, another blue, green, electric yellow dollar…” “Come and bless it…grub!…grub!” WOW! I haven’t heard that in QUITE some time…maybe I need some of that Rhode Apple Red…lol

I like the old cartoon of the two fellows crawling through the desert when one of them reaches up and grabs the horizon line…as good a meta-joke (and use of cartoon conventions) as the one here.

Ahhh…this makes me feel so much better about my Benadryl-induced haze. (I mean, I’ve just got six-foot-tall invisible white rabbits in MY living room.)

I sure like reading Non Sequitur in this forum. Our newspaper insists on squishing it into a tiny never changing box. Great idea for a cartoon today. I lean towards believing it’s the guy in the desert that is hallucinating. I haven’t seen mushers but I have seen bodies of water on the horizon that you can never get to.

I don’t think the dogsled one fits very well, but it does balance the picture. I’ve seen dozens of stranded in the desert and on little island cartoons, but I don’t recall any dogsled ones. If you see a picture of someone on a dogsled you assume he’s going somewhere, not stranded. Nevertheless, I’m willing to suspend disbelief and enjoy the joke. =]

How can the shark swim in shallow water around an island with a man? Shrink all of images into a rectangle box.

Kaero - my cat’s not named Pooka for nuthin’. Harvey is one of my favorite, favorite movies. And sometimes I do think my cat is a pooka…”And how are you, Mr. Wilson? Who in the encyclopedia wants to know!”

This looks like a preview of next week’s episode of “Lost.”

This is a masterpiece…………… Well done Mr. Miller.

The guy with the dogsled is the only one who isn’t in need of help, unless there’s a polar bear nearby.

@ plus4,

You are right. It does look better in black and white.

So, in only one panel, Wiley brilliantly explains all of the various plot twists of ‘LOST’.

yeah, in black & white you don’t have to fiddle with the borders between sand/water/snow. Great Toon!

WOW!!!!!!!

Since the sledder has run out of snow he’s in trouble too… Good one!

runninandreadin, great Firesign reference. I bet you always have a Wiz in the fridge. It’s good for the hullabaluces….

I would love to see a line a greeting cards by Wiley. How about it Wiley? Your stuff is just too good.

No politics, just good comics. Thank you Wiley.

It’s not a hallucination. They’re in Texas!

I wonder if the sled dogs are looking forward to using that cactus?

1626 just noticed ehrnmm the spammer! flag time!

Now THIS would have made a good 4/20 comic!

Absolutely marvelous confluence of the 3 cliches! Do I hear the Twilight Zone theme in the background?

Brilliant, Wiley! Thanks for the laugh!

Thank you CatComixzStudios. I see I wasn’t the only one who thought the same things.

Hey, Can ANYONE TRACE AND THEN FLAME OUT THAT SPAMMER?! There should be an X-Prize offered!

Wiley, I get it; it’s funny!

Dogsniff, I used “bastige” as an alternative to a probably bleepable word describing a fatherless person. The quote is from Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, is probably not exactly right, and is made by Hunter S. Thompson who is hallucinating at the time he says it. Obscure reference to be sure, but that’s the direction my mind wandered :-)

I guess the good that men do gets buried while one boast gets slammed in AL Gore’s face for political expediency. No one gives him credit for his relentless efforts in spreading the internet to schools and such as Vice President, we just take his exageration and hold that as our excuse for not believing in Climate Change. I guess believe what you wish…

The first Google hit for “bastige” is Urban Dictionary; “…someone extremely annoying but not worth wasting foul language on.”

Sounds like Thompson, all right!

And on the politics side: You may or not believe the data about Climate Change, but we will all see it soon enough. So keep in mind the backing of the deniers, and their entrenched investment in Status Quo, which is going to be changing; that scares many people (Tea Partiers come to mind.)
