Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 21, 2010
Transcript:
Lucy: Does your research on the sunset include the observation of the sunrise? Danae: Are you kidding? No way I'm gonna get up that early. That's what research assistants are for... Lucy: Oh... cool! Who's your assistant? I quit. Danae: You can't quit something you haven't even started yet, doofus! Lucy: Better still!

See kid, when the sun is setting in the west it is simultaneously rising in the east, so observation of the sunrise is really unnecessary.

I don’t think Lucy recalls applying for the positiion in the first place.

Lucy knows how Danae works – she knew she was about to “get volunteered” …

Danae, I think Lucy’s suggesting you put that clipboard where the sun don’t shine.

All Danae has to do is come down here to the Southern Hemisphere, where every thing natural works opposite to the Norhern Hemisphere. Our sun sets in your “East”, but we call it “West” here.

Now of course they need to ride off into the sunset with saddlebags full of government cash, kind of like a Senatorial retirement program.

FREEHOLDER Don’t forget the intern/campaign worker bimbo.

It has been done, years ago some wise men pondered where the sun went when it set…….then it dawned on them.

This is getting boring. How come D & L never interact with SIs & dog anymore?

You should have known better than to ask Lucy!

Do I see a bad moon rising?

To expand on her comment from the first frame, “If God had intended us to see the sunrise, he would have made it later in the day.”

You don’t have to take that from her, Lucy…

Sunrise: A perfect end to an evening in town.

Danae, Lucy is not a doofus. She determined to quit so she would not volunteer to work with you on that research of sunrise/set. That is unfortunate. sigh! :-/

nibor:
Do you mean in appearance, especially to someone raised in the northern hemisphere?

We had just this problem some years back: “Can you retire from a job to which you were never actually appointed?”
They must have figured it out–he retired, or just stopped doing it at any rate.

I wish someone would shed some light on the subject for me.

The only way I see a sunrise is to wait up for it – paraphrase of Rosalie Sorrells.
I was also wondering the other day if you can really “die” before you are ever born.
