Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 17, 2020

That fish has a lot to learn. The best bait would be a can of beer.

Given the 2 week “cooling off” period, this was drawn just after New Years. I think Wiley was still “recovering”. That said, if that were me, I’d hurry off the ice

That bill is probably only a fin.

Freshwater shark?

There may be another hole covered up with camouflage paper.

I’m not quite sure how the hook will work, but he appears to be smiling. Wish there were a couple more panels here.

Good luck getting out of this trap set for you.

looks like another phishing scam…

The trolls from Saint Petersburg have learned to swim now?

Wiley is always good for a chuckle, a laugh, and sometimes a belly-laugh!

sub-prime fishing, eh!?! What happens in the end? Does all the ice melt and all the fishermen die, the govt bails out the fish and we end up eating spinach!?!

yet, another conservative economic theory, i.e., cutting out the middle man gets you a bigger fish.

Proof that there is intelligent life on this planet. Under water.

This is NOT your typical ice fisherman. They now have a shelter, heater, entertainment, alcohol and if you can find one as dumb as you; female companionship. You know; for someone to talk to in the lull between fish fighting.

Here in MN, all my ice fishing friends are too fat to go through the hole.

Ooh, ooh, that will work in DC.

I’m tempted to crowdsource a fund to buy a Congressman and then set him loose in the wild to see if he can survive.

Reminds me of an Aerosmith video that ends with a disturbingly graphic gag of Steven getting caught on a hook baited with a sandwich.

Don’t do it.

Perhaps that’s the other end of his own line, re-baited by the fish. A jerk on one end of a line, waiting for a jerk on the other…

The worms look cold.

Good day for it.

Just a niggle… shouldn’t the other fishing float be colored the other way around??

Cold teen spirit.

I didn’t know it was “buck” season.

I trust you brought a knife with you…

Just remember, when fishing for lawyers, it’s illegal to call out ‘whiplash’ as an attractant. Cash is still legal.

On this weekend’s episode of “To Catch a Trump”….

I’m sure a beer would work better. Since it’s winter a bottle of whiskey may be the best bait.

Bears have diving suits?

Problem is, he’ll have to get off his ass to get it. It’s too far away. Maybe some other time.

I warned people not to throw those fruitcakes into the lake, but did they listen? Now, those piles of nuts and candied fruit have mutated.

I’m living on about the same degree of lattitude as Vancouver at 100m above sealevel. But I haven’t seen any snow yet.

Must be Russia, where fish catch you.

I’m going to guess that his name is Bob.

Best comic of the day by far!

DON’T FALL FOR IT!!!

I bet he’d grab the bait if it was a beer!

LOL!

is that a C note?

A cash card might be better bait since it’s value would not evident.

I suspect a polar bear’s down there.

Maybe it’s one of Wiley’s clever bears pulling one of his gotchas….

I’d end up dying a quick death

Will he take the bait?

…better to leave some things to the imagination.

Fishing for the fisherman! :)
