Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 13, 2011

The talking onion!

That’s just silly. Who names an onion “Albert”?

Spontaneous Skullstomption!!!

That’s funny. I thought it was a “Glass Onion”. (Beatles song)

There’s no such thing as talking onions. Her talking horse and her sister’s talking dog and her friend the Martian told her so.

I wouldn’t believe anything The Onion says anyway.

Does this mean that Jeffrey isn’t going to make burgers out of Albert? He could always have a Boca burger, but might that be one of Albert’s cousins?

And Danae is the wierdest of them all. Maybe it’s just as well Albert didn’t try to talk to her.

Albert the Onion reminds me of Michigan J. Frog!

FAKE1 the sled is a venquilitrist.

sayhowURfeelingB4URgone, respectfully, sir, I believe you mean to say “lily family”. Lily, garlic, onion, etc., would all be species within that family. Perhaps in the same genus.

Jeffery and Calvin need to meet up.

I have a pet bottle of Booker’s Bourbon that talks to me as well. Unfortunately when it talks I am often not in any condition to remember what it said. But, I am sure that it was profound.

I think Danae is jealous.

Danae has onion envy.

The best part is, Albert has multiple layers of personality that’ll bring a tear to your eye!

I would not allow any child of mine to hang out with an onion. Peel or no.

Onions are much too stupid to talk. Now tomatoes on the other hand…

Perhaps he’s named Albert because he came from Albertson’s.

(That’s a chain of grocery stores in the West. But Non Sequitur takes place in the East, so never mind.)

I do hope that this beautiful friendship makes it to more episodes.

ArthurAllen,

We have, or had, Albertson’s here in South Florida. Nice stores but a bit more expensive than Publix or Winn Dixie. However, we don’t have Safeway stories.

ArthurAllen, we have a bunch of albertsons here in south florida which i belive is east but they were all bought up by publix

Albert should meet Vidalia.

Albert has a terrific satire website. :) (Don’t get it? Go to www.theonion.com – thank me later.)

My wife’s chili always talks to me; then to everyone around. I never knew it was the onions…

What exactly is “protein DNA”? Proteins don’t have DNA; they’re assembled based on DNA instructions.

@Rhadamanthus Lol! Comic gold!

@abilyeu - genes that encode for proteins. Thou shalt not overanalyze the comic.

ilsapadu, haven’t you heard that an onion a day keeps everyone away.

I’ll eat onions, but not tomatoes or tomato sauce.

Tomatoes are in the same family as deadly nightshade, Grog. Good call.

Tomatoes are actually poisonous until ripe so that makes sense freeholder1

Tomatos were once called “love apples”

My favorite as a kid was to call the bowling alley to ask if they had 10 pound balls…:-)

i never listen to onions. read them, yes. listen to them, no.

If the onion ever decides to become a journalist, there’s already a perfect organization for him to join!

sayhowURfeeling.etc. I love onions too, but, respectfully sir, go sniff yourself!!!!!

Onion, onion… Friend of man… Fresh on the plate… Never in a can… Bitter, sweet and wet… A burger’s best mate… Slice ‘em up and don’t forget… A pickle too, would be great…. But here’s the rub… And you need to hear…… If it starts talking sports… Then you’ve had too much beer…
