Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 25, 2010

WLY - U R G8!

I can live without it.

I’ll bet it’s already been done for real. Sad.

Do we want to know about the honeymoon?

It’s nice to see that all the members of the congregation have smart phones and are receiving the texts from the bride, the groom, and the minister. It’s not often that you find a large group of people that’s “all thumbs”.

It looks like they were giving out iPads at the door. Why don’t I ever get invited to these types of weddings?

I’m surprised they’re not using their avatars.

They need to be wearing earbuds to hear the music,.

Hey that means all of this is archived now - pure gold for the future divorce negotiations. Of course I am such a cynic, I am sure that this will be a ‘lasting’ marriage!

Oh dear god! I know it’s just a comic but sometimes I worry the world is moving in this direction. Face to face communication isn’t what it used to be.

Reminds me of a little game we used to play with letters for autograph books:

O I C U R 2 Good 4 Me

btw, luv ths strp W

…text now or forever hold your peace…

DEVO was right.

I’ve heard of churches where they have a screen that shows parishioners’ tweets about the sermon.

I’m wondering if the bride & groom have EVER looked each other in the face.

Couldn’t all the guests have just stayed home and watched it over the Internet?

I needed a cheer up. Thanks Wiley.

Let’s get back to the barricaded shed, I’m curious enough to open it myself!

@LuvH8 - that honeymoon - probably practicing safe text.

“safe text”??! Roflmao

Are they mute while they use the iPads to communicate? Weird!

LOLs!

Seen forty years ago at a road-side cafe.

AB! CDRC!

LMNORC!

OSMR! CMPN?

poohbear - I learned it as follows

AB! CD GOLDFISH? ‘L MNO GOLDFISH OSAR GOLDFISH! ‘Fraid I don’t remember the rest, but thanks for the memory!

Wiley, I fear this is the way we are going (says I as I type on my lonely computer!)

Great art….thanks Wiley

so how do they make iKids?

A dialog in a diner about 60 years ago: FUNEX? SVFX UFNEM? SVFX OK,LFMNX.

Translation: Have you any eggs? Yes we have eggs. You have any ham? Yes we have ham. Okay, I’ll have ham and eggs.

And they’ll all show up on www.textsfromlastnight.com

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh!!

It’s a sign ‘o the times, fer sure! Well done, Wiley! Kind of makes me cringe, but, well done.

i have heard that divorce can be done just by texting, somewhere in the middle east.. you’re just a tweet away.. b’coz, a journey of a thousand sites begins with a single click.. if ever you get caught up in a web of lies, just always remember that the truth will still set you free.. sometimes reality bytes by the dozen, in bits of zeros and ones.. love is love is nothing without you, love is love is everything you do..

The way the world is going, I’m becoming glad that I’m in my last decade or two… I find things JUST TOO unnerving. I was always on the cutting edge of things until they started getting SOO small while my eyes were getting into my 60s and 70s. I still only put on magnifiers for close work or reading indoors (bright sun- none needed). Now I keep just one land line for FAX and TiVo as well as phone and I have a PC with Vista and lots of power for CAD and video edits, but I’ll stick to books that I can read in the garden sun (many used from Alibris and Amazon -no Kindle or Ipad for me ;-)

Ironic that technology detractors are reading and commenting on Wiley’s strip on the internet.

Divorce can be done by leaving the shoes outside the door in some cultures – his shoes.

Garey McKee - It’s because for some of us it’s the only way to get our comic fixes. Our local papers don’t carry good ones! I would love to see Mutts on GoComics.

Mutts is on Comics.com

But you’re right, with the dwindling comics pages in newspapers stuggling to stay afloat, this is the only place to find all of your favorite comics!
