Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 11, 2019

Well my regional Sunday paper just pulled Non Sequitur (local paper did immediately after the Trump incident)…..makes me so angry….but what to do?

When the Philadelphia Inquirer dropped Prince Valiant I cancelled my subscription. There are other sources for their content. We frequently have alternatives to such foolish actions.

Was there a newspaper one that never made it to Gocomics? Or, did I just see something here that I did not recognize as being either a problem, or aimed at Mr. Trump? Don’t really know what caused all the fuss with some of the papers.

I remember when the San Jose Mercury dropped a favorite strip for the poorly-drawn “Overboard” featuring with childish and obvious jokes. I didn’t stop reading the comics, but I certainly was disappointed.

The trick is to find the experts who agree with what you want to believe anyway.

The trouble with experts is that they think they know it all but in reality, they are being paid to fake it.

So this isn’t about coffee drinking?

Yeah, thinking for yourself is just too much trouble.

Latest heard about chocolate is that it may be more effective in suppressing mild coughs than over the counter cough syrups.

The only news I’ve unplugged from is the CBS morning news. Seems to me its getting closer to being like “The View” or some other nonsensical babble of BS. At least the CBS evening news seems to be presenting the news professionally.

It causes cancer. Everything eventually causes cancer. Safe bet.

stances on coffee – and on health in general – conflict with each other so often, they ought to be their own comic strip.

All I can say is that I’ve known more old drunks than old doctors, so they can pry my hot cuppa coffee out of my cold, dead hands ( along with the chocolate bar that’s 70% cacao ).

If one is a coffee drinker already, then one tends to ignore the “science” that shows coffee drinking is no good really bad plain awful, and one holds forth the science that shows coffee to be the sovereign cure for all that ails you.

The health benefits of cutting oneself off from the flow of toxic news and social media, on the other hand, is incontrovertible!!!

Keep the faith

I know some old Docs. But Drs. are supposed to have a (first) heart attack at 48. On the other hand, my best friend became a drunk, and froze to death in an Alabama doorway at 60 after years of living out of dumpsters..

All I know is, coffee is good for you this week.

As I see it, the only drawback to unplugging from the news is that I wouldn’t be able to understand the editorial cartoons!

Did anyone else see the hidden message in today’s strip? Well done, Mr. Miller.

Utilize PubMed rather than the often incorrect reporters’ and PR employee’s interpretations, and it not be daily, plus it will be more accurate.

As one who is old enough to remember when the TV dial had a “1” on it, for those of you who even remember TV dials, I’ve seen our society go through many changes. As norms relaxed, so did common courtesy. Language became more crude, and with it, more aggressive. Sycophants who didn’t have the strength, or courage, to challenge this downward spiral, would say that those who used such language were just “pushing the envelope”. They never understood that there is a difference between pushing the envelope and shredding the contents. Great satirists, like Will Rogers, or Oscar Wilde, didn’t have to resort to vulgarity to get their point across. Wiley has the talent to do the same, and often does, but by succumbing to the lowest form of satire (protest), he took the risk of offending a portion of his audience. Humor has the power to soften opinion, hard words only hardens them.

Write the cartoonist and tell him to clean up his language. …and read his contract.

Speaking for myself and of myself only, “Give me the coffee and no one gets hurt.”

No one makes coffee the way I like it. Period end of story.

I stopped buying cups of coffee in coffee shops, or ordering coffee in restaurants.

I don’t even bother talking about my idea of how a coffee ought to taste. It was becoming such a convoluted conversation with people trying to tempt me with their preferences. Right now I carry my own thermos with my coffee prepared just the way I like it.

I live in Florida and my paper (Sarasota Herald Tribune) pulled Non Sequitur also. Is this a trend? They substituted a VERY lame strip in it’s place. I guess my only recourse (other than writing a snotty protest letter) is to add Non Sequitur to my online comics list.

Choooocooooolaaaaaaaaate.

Start reading it on line like I do everyday…

Simple: even years they think it is bad for you. Odd years, it is Good for you. No need to worry about the latest studies; they all balance out in the end.

Good one – coffee is bad – coffee is good – depends on if the coffee marketing people are on the ball

Detroit Free Press cancelled Non Sequitur…can’t really do anything. I stopped my subscription when they pulled Cathy out of her home town newspaper. Glad I switched to this site.

The cognitive dissonance frenzy from declaring that Starbucks generates most of the world’s atmospheric CO2 will power the world’s electric cars until 2029 . . .
