Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 19, 2015

Oh, yeah, that booger brained Ken..

Daddy has work issues….

You tie a brick to their ankle, and toss them off the highest building you can find.

It’s not like it’s a GI Joe “action figure”.

Is this akin (or a Ken) to the curse of the Midas Touch?

Since when did Danae start listening seriously to what her Dad says?

I’m sure danae took out a nice life insurance policy for Barbie..

If at first you don’t succeed, don’t go skydiving.

I like the pigeon. Too bad he didn’t get a snarky remark in for the final panel.

RIP is for rip cord. It is what we used to pull to open our parachute (now adays they used hand deployed pilot chutes)

“Golden” describes the colour, not necessarily what it’s made from.

gold leaf can be extremely thin and a parachute wouldn’t need much to be covered with it

As of this week, after the few week Summer break, new strips resume.

Wiley’s best, Pulitzer grade.

Lucy is right but so is Danae. Not what her dad says but that ‘Ken’ stuff. Don’t think she could tolerate a toy like that. Still, it is fun to play.

And Barbie gets all the hate for her proportions.

golden parachutes have two sides. if you are receiving it, then you love it. if you are not receiving it, then you hope that person dies a horrible death. some GP are criminally expensive. heard that forced retired community college president got a GP of $750+k, after he did some embezzling, nepotism, and cronyism.

The next door neighbor girl I grew up with had The Barbie stuff and a Ken doll. I would go over to her house and read her comic books while she would play in the Barbie world… one day I noticed she had two Barbies… nope… one was Ken, in drag… I asked why? She said Barbie had nicer clothes than Ken so she dressed him in Barbie’s dresses and played with ‘him’ like he was Barbie’s girl friend… That had to be the weirdest thing I remembered of her.

back in the 30’s they didn’t use parachutes, but I guess that was way before Wiley’s time………….

Didn’t they use umbrellas for parachutes?

Jim in CT, Nice contribution, Arianne, great play on words, and daDoctor, Hey give the pigeon a break, he just woke up!
