Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 24, 2011

Will the snow every melt?

The fourth panel is the strangest drawing I’ve noticed that Wiley has done. (Square shouldered Bob, with a very strange back side. And Joe with an inverted tie on his back.)

Hey in OK we had snow one week, and then it was in the 70’s. Gotta love that kinda weather!

So Bob, do you take the bus to work?

Is Bob supposed to look or represent Nixon?

@palos I would guess that the inverted tie is just shading, Bob has lots more on his back so it doesn’t look like anything. And the “backside” is just the split at the bottom of the suit jacket. Anyway that’s what it looks like to me

YES! Bob is certainly Nixon! Has to be……how ‘bout it Wiley?

I’m one of the only guys around who doesn’t complain about the weather. I’m still enjoying the snow, and when summer comes around, I’ll enjoy that, too. I pretty much like all the seasons and don’t want to hurry any of them along.

“Bob is not a crook”.

Sounds like the gov’t: hurry up and wait.

I tried Bob’s method till I started getting certified mail from City Hall to the tune of $100/day.

Oh we got plenty of hot winds blowing through Texas. An awful lot of it is coming out of the Governor’s office. But then I am getting political.

Still, if you don’t like snow, try 30 straight days of highs over 100. That can get kind of old as well. Plus it can put your electric bill into orbit unless you are some sort of mutant who can live without air conditioning in those temperatures.

Since he passed away, Nixon grew a mustache.

Hmmm,, Oliver Stone’s movie would have been very different with Dabney Coleman in the lead role. (Don’t know why that thought popped into what’s left of my brain..)

Looks like Dan Aykroyd playing Nixon to me.

Dabney Coleman drinks umbrella drinks?

I do know one family that left So. California because of the weather–after 16 months there, they got bored, were no longer able to tell what season it was, and so on. So they found another place–with four real seasons.

Honest to gosh; never noticed the mustache. Thought it was shading. It’s too narrow to be Dabney Coleman’s. Bob still looks more like RMN than anybody else.

bmonk, I was stationed in FL for 2.5 years, and really missed the changing seasons.

Here in CT after the town budget is blown on snow removal, I anticipate much grief when it comes to repairing the roads torn up by plows and the ice. OTOH, the town did come by and remove the mounds of snow along the curb, which was nice (and no doubt a preventative against thaw-flooding).

I don’t mind paying taxes for services: that’s what they’re for.

When my Dad retired, he insisted he was going to start moving around asking how much snow the locals got, until he got an answer, “How much what?” - and would spend the rest of his life there.

Instead, wound up at his sister’s in Dallas, with the choice of 1. Too dratted hot to go walk the dog, or 2. Ice storms, too slick to go walk.

comicgos asked if the snow would ever melt. i thought that was what global warming was for. and to those who were complaining about how hot the Summer was, are you happy now? (put me down as a fan of four seasons, please. where i live, they’re known as: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.)

SOLAR SNOWPLOWS! The only kind the TEA party candidates approve, well they don’t seem to mind buying more napalm.

Down in New Orleans, the four seasons are salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne.

The first summer after we moved to the Sacramento area, we had temps of over 115 degrees for six days. 100 degrees felt like a cold wave.

This after moving from the SF Bay Area where 80 degrees was a heat wave…but most summer days were pleasant.

I’m hungry.

It took me so long to get down here I forgot what I was going to say.

Love Dabney Coleman!

We’re expecting record cold tonight – minus 9C! (Call it 14F.)

Yeah, we’re wimps!

FishStix – oh you mean potholes don’t come from those “freeze-thaw cycles” they blame them on in Michigan? Nevermind that the roads that were built last summer were already crumbling in September. Maybe made out of silly-putty.

That’s the neighbouring city’s plan.

Wait, don’t they live in different states, on opposite sides of the country? Joe visited his brother in the bar back when he lived in California in 2004. Does he fly back and forth between states?

It took me six and a half years to notice this.
