Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 27, 2019

Oh, good! I was afraid the older man was just being cruel.

Or he could get an ice auger like normal ice fishermen do. That is if anyone that ice fishes can be considered even close to normal!

The question of course is what is the relationship of old man and kid? Well, the kid will give him the cold shoulder now.

I wouldn’t be on that ice if breaks that easily. (I know; it’s just a comic strip.)

Next time it won’t be ‘K , it’ll be ’Y.

The kid must be a millennial.

Skate away without vengeance? In a real world…

1. Push ice fisher into hole

2. Slap (emptied) fish bucket over their head when the ice fisher comes up for air

Walk away while drinking the hot drink

IF the ice fisher is lucky enough to not get worse, that is.

At least he fished the guy out.

I’m usually first to skate on our river; but I wear a life jacket, and carry a surf board.

Some idiot took his 3 kids out on the ice in his SUV. They managed to save 2 of the kids. Why do people feel the need to kill themselves thru stupidity.

Hey what happened to Nebbish?

That fisherman got all the makin’s of a politician. I tell you, boy.

The skater was a neb·bish

nounINFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN

a person, especially a man, who is regarded as pitifully ineffectual, timid, or submissive.

“He’s a nebbish. No money, no prestige, no future”

So, WHY do people STILL go “Ice Fishing” when they can go to the Grocery store and buy it in 20 pound bags?? (:-p)

One cold winter day an avid fisherman decides to try ice fishing. Go goes out on the frozen lake, cuts his regulation size hole, and starts to fish.

After six hours the only thing he’s caught is a cold.

At this point a little boy comes out on the lake, smashes a hole in the ice, takes out a wooden stick pole, with a bent pin hook and starts fishing.

Withing minutes he’s caught a fish. After half an hour he’s caught a dozen fish.

The “expert” fisherman goes over to the kid and says “I’ve been fishing all day and haven’t had a nibble. Youv’e been out half an hour caught all these fish. What am I doing wrong?”

The kid looks up and mumbles something. The fisherman asks him to repeat, only to get more mumbles.

The fisherman exclaims "I can’t understand you with your mouth full of something.

The kid spits out a mass of stuff and yells “You’ve got to keep your worms warm!”

Age and treachery will beat youth and strength every time. Just remember that old guy with the cane, lived through things you can not imagine(unless you watch the history channel).

Lived for over twenty years in Ypsilanti, MI on Ford Lake and every year I’d marvel (…or wonder about) at the sanity of the ice fishermen that sat for hours over holes in the ice to hook what looked like undernourished anchovies! But, apparently, they loved it! Some erected quite elaborate tents over the holes. Even had heaters specially designed to sit on ice and not melt! Go figure! Michiganers!

I believe today’s strip title says it all. Some people are just blind followers, they lack the ability of critical thinking.

Fishing: a good reason to get away from the nag for the day

That rookie is a real hoser, don’t you know!

Anyone read Tom Sawyer and white washing aunt Polly’s fence?

Does he get to keep the skates?

Recycled gag from January 1998. Still funny

How to ice fish.

Cut a hole in the ice.

Put peas around the hole.

When the fish comes up to take a pea, whack it in the head.
