Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 16, 2010
Transcript:
Danae: So how's it going out with Ekert, Lucy? Lucy: Pretty good. He should be small enough to hide soon. It's amazing... the more he just hangs out with other animals, away from all that greed and hypocrisy of the "civilized world"... the smaller and smaller he gets. Yessiree... no petty, malicious, egocentric junk for Ekert to gorge on out here, so he keeps getting smaller and smaller and smaller and... Danae: OK, OK!! I get it, smug-butt!

Yeah, wouldn’t be getting any bigger around my horse! His biggest worry is if I brought enough carrots and cookies.

Horse cookies? Oh, not to be confused with horse muffins I guess.

So how do the Rupert Murdoch-looking character and Eddie figure into this?

No. The “anti-Eckert” will be that dark haired lawyer guy who’s always sitting at the counter

I’m telling you, just ignore the spammers. Don’t buy anything. Don’t respond to their spam. They’ll get tired of all the effort and get nothing. they’ll quit!

The last frame looks very similar to the British cartoonist Thelwell, hommage or coincidence? anyone?
Lawrence Stetz Premium Member about 14 years ago
Wait, if the Ekert feeds on Egotism and smugness. Why isn’t the horse being affected? He’s just as bad as any of the other characters.

I always allow myself a fair amount of indulgence because it’s not so much how long a life is, as it is how much fun it contains.

Vegeterianism is an old indian word for “poor hunter”.

combick_reader – Go for coincidence.
There have been far too many other artists in too many media for you to expect any current artist to have seen ‘em all, and since we all have common experiences, artists are BOUND to have similar ideas, if separated by media, miles or time.
Simply put, Wiley is VERY good, and doesn’t need to copy anyone.
‘Nuff said?

If Lucy is being this smug, wouldn’t that mean the Ekert would have something to gorge on? I forsee a sudden and disastrous growth spurt in the near future.

yeah. what happens if we all find out Pauly is the antiEckert? not that the cat is really all that non-plussed about or totally unconcerned about anything….heh. now THERE’s a candidate!

Spam arriving late. Anti ekert would feed off good thoughts turning them to bad and thus eat the stuff ekert rejects ad Ekert eats the stuff he rejects., And you would have TWO giants instead of one. And they might well explode from mutual gluttony.
