Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 27, 2015

A park on Wall Street?

This reminds me of the opening credits for the short run series, “Dead Like Me”; with Ellen Muth, and Mandy Patinkin

there has to be a certain level of discomfort in this scenario

That’s not politics, that’s reality!

♫ Though his words are simple and few, listen, listen, he’s calling to you… ♫

Where there is a will leaving everything to the pigeons, there is a way.

And the bird man is noticing….

samhuff…Be prepared.And be careful you don’t doYour good deeds When there’s no one watching you…

Just another day at the park….

It’s “The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy” and he was more(and less) than a friend. They won a contest with him that makes him their eternal slave.

Loved that cartoon :)

Always someone to buy off; unable to see beyond the green.And the old game goes on as usual. A devil may care, not yet.

looks like Sheldon Adelson is shopping for senators.

We’ve gained notoriety,And caused much anxietyIn the Audubon societyWith our games.They call it impiety,And lack of propriety,And quite a varietyOf unpleasant names.

But it’s not against any religionTo want to dispose of a pigeon.

Wiley has outdone himself.Subtle, poignant, and so true.

any takers?

Late in the day second comment…….Face it..we’re all pigeons .

Speaking of classics, I give you Gertrude Stein:

Pigeons on the grass alas. Pigeons on the grass alas. Short longer grass short longer longer shorter yellow grass. Pigeonslarge pigeons on the shorter longer yellow grass alas pigeons on thegrass. If they were not pigeons what were they. (et cet.)

I prefer the Norse Goddess of Death, Hel; cold, but beautiful.

Isn’t it strange that in spite of 2000 years of Christians saying Heaven is such a great place of peace and joy, almost all of them still dread dying?
