Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 25, 2010

Hide and se-ekert?

Next month?

Why am I thinking … a shed in the woods?

Oh, no! A cliffhanger! Without food for a month, the Ekert will waste away down to merely large. Could the secret hiding place be something like Area 51?

No doubt; Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon.

I’m thinking back where Danae first found him….but that would be too easy.

Next month is less than a week away.

lets see, a church, naa the Ekert would continue to grow there. Any K-Mart store, closer but there is still the possibility for discovery. It as to be the library.

Why not put a dress on it, and disgiuse it as a ‘Democratic Telephonist”.

I’m guessing a shed in the woods near Danea’s house with a little 2x4 holding the door closed.

Not in our township library, it’s a very busy place. The Ekert would grow fatter hanging around our library.

@ImaginaryFriend…

A church! No way - the Ekert would grow to be as big as the world in no time flat!

And have an upset stomach to boot!

next month?!?

^^ It certainly won’t be either one of your houses! Nor mine, I suppose.

Next month is less than a week away

Wiley, you devil, you.

I won’t take a breath until next month!

The offices of any recently closed newspaper springs to mind.

Can’t hide him here, fo’ sho’.

“hangaliciously”! LOL!

Well next month IS just a week away! (What happened to summer?) I hope Wiley doesn’t mean the END of next month!

Dry … don’t put it past Mr. Wiley … he IS a “wiley” character. :D

I think Ekert will be takin’ a flight … into Space and the ISS

I thought library at first too… but ours is pretty hopping these days and thanks to the budget crunch… the library closings are causing all kinds of negative spewage… the Ekert would be quite full. How about where people vote next month? There’s definitely not enough people going to go.

How about the zoo?

I’d love to know what he’s smoking in that pipe – it’s very expressive!

Tomorrow’s strip: Apparently Danae has been talking to Calvin’s Dad… :o)

love the twists and suspense!

Go Wiley!

How ‘bout the Vatican??

Since he went extensive periods of time between the first part and the second part, then the second part at this part, it’s entirely possible he means the beginning of winter!

Area 51

There really is an Area 51. Go to Google Maps and put in “Area 51”. It is in the Nevada desert. Zoom in on the satellite view. Very interesting!

O MY GOSH! ANOTHER MONTH LONG CLIFF HANGER!!!!!!!!!!! SOMETIMES I HATE YOU WILEY!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S JUST LIKE “WHO SHOT J.R.” ALLL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGG

My first thought was church. Fewer people go, but you can’t say no one goes. A seminary or monastery might be even fewer. But NO evil thoughts? Anywhere there are people there will be some.

Maybe a “ghost town”.

Gotta know, gotta know, gotta know!

How about Mars 4.5

One thing is for certain - they have to keep the Ekert away from any place having an election.

Exposure to just half an hour of TV campaign ads would make the Ekert the size of Oklahoma!

@magnamax. Maybe Lady Callahan’s? Everybody there always seemed to be in a VERY good mood…

Fishing with Cap’n Eddie?

Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon was destroyed by a Pony Nuke a couple of decades ago. (Pony Nuke: A Nuclear device with a small explosive yield, Kiloton range.) Jake Stonebender and the Gang are now sharing drinks and swapping stories at Mary’s Place located somewhere in the Florida Keys. Side note; Spider Robinson, GET OFF YOUR bleeep AND WRITE SOME MORE STORIES!!! Thank you.

Oh I hate these cliffhangers

Looks like back in the woods again, with the critters, at least until he can fit in the secret shed again. But would he cooperate?

Will Rogers quote; “I love a dog; he does nothing for political purposes.”

Where’s Lars when we need him?

Spider: Has Virginia found any more unfinished Heinlein for you to work on, perhaps? That’d be wonderful!

Cliff-hangaliciously?

If it completes the cycle and goes to the shed in the woods, doesn’t it become “the Neverending Story”?

back to the same shack? why not? Ms Freneau hid the whiskey in the stove after Mr Eckland looked there! (see Father Goose).

church or vatican - uh no? Few places the ekert would get fatter, I’m afraid…

How about Slip F-18, Bahia Mar, Fort Lauderdale? Sadly it isn’t used anymore.

Congress is the answer! It follows that all that comes from the hill is emptiness and therefore much like outerspace. This vacuum would be the perfect place to shrink the Ekert to a truly hideable size. And since The Hill is much like a black hole and Wiley would not need a 2x4 to keep Ekert in place.

why not just stick him back in the shed?????
