Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 19, 2019

Wait till you grow up Danae. You get tested on a daily basis one way or another.

I’m surprised she didn’t write a letter from the teacher and forged her signature. Give it to daddy before the e-mail

Life sucks, Danae. Deal with it.

Children should realize that they’re not devious enough to pull the wool over the parents’ eyes. Parents were once those children.

Living is a test. Eventually we all fail

Danae, don’t set your expectations to high because you will be let down every time if you do.

Everything is a test, from your Apgar score to the box score in the obits, including everything in between.

Well, they’ve written off STEM for girls that quickly have they?

“…dating. marriage and raising children”? How about the Bar Exam or getting into med. school? What century is this?

Right on Wiley! You been there huh

Whoa, I think that’s the first time I have seen a distinguishable chin on Joe.

Joe, the philosopher. Right on.

Daddy sez “Mostly to prepare you…”. Somehow I don’t envision Danae as a Domestic Goddess. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Agreed; I thought Wiley was more progressive than that.

Don’t be so testy.

No, she DIDN’T pass, because she hid the letter for “a couple of days” and was found out. Rob a bank; when the police find you in “a couple of days” and you still have all the money to return, it’s all OK, right? nothing done? no harm no foul? And when you refuse to submit to police, since the bank robbery doesn’t count, resisting arrest doesn’t count either, right?

“Dating, Marriage, raising children”?? Danae?? That would be the very last sign of the Apocalypse and the complete destruction of the Universe!!

I pity the poor fool who ends up marrying her.

Because the Universe is cruel.

The reply in panel #4 is brilliant; and the comments and replies are also. On top of that, I am snickering at the thought of Danae being a parent…..

“Don’t wait for the Last Judgement. It comes every day.” Albert Camus.

Life, huh?

There’s a scary thought. Danae as a mother.

Reality still sucks, that’s why I read Gocomics.

Tests prepare you for life, the universe, and everything.

Methinks that somehow Danae would NEVER pass those three things that Dad has pointed out !

This test is a witch hunt! A total sham! That letter didn’t get held back! Danae had a perfect parent-teacher conference!

The dad is talking about HIS life and what has happened in it. He is not telling Danae that will be her future for sure.

Danae a parent? Better call CPS now as a preventive measure.

The question Danae should be asking: I fail every one of these stinkin’ tests—what’s the matter with me?

But, mostly for the Raising Children part.

There’s a reason Parents get grey hair much sooner than Single people.

The “Right Thing” requires Promptness.

As well as doing it Before you find out about the E-mail.

He was Listening when Kate told Danae.

Everyday is a test, if you wake up the next morning you passed.

“Hi! I’m Danae & I’m Gay!”

Dating?, Marriage? Children?….“Oh the Humanity”…

Danae having children? Eek!
