Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 27, 2020

Let’s hope they don’t run into the captain!

Should get some commercial work.

Hokay, as a Vancouverite, the news has been filled about these new residents moving into the area (actually Vancouver Island temporarily?). First, it’s one thing to move to Canada, but, coming from England, quite another when it comes to choosing the West Coast over the East. Second, Conan O’Brien’s tweet this morning nailed it: ‘Now that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan live in Vancouver, British Columbia should change its name to “Sick of Being British” Columbia.’

Are they here legally? Should they be in a camp?

This is supposed to be a humor strip. So I agree that those two belong here.

I have a few friends across The Pond and hope to visit again in a few years.

Am I the only one that laughed?

Love it. Two people trying to live normally and people call them parasites?

this week could be fun, so long as there is at least a little respect thrown in.

from the start i thought it was going to be politicians or people escaping the upcoming primary s

Megan and Harry meet Capt. Eddie…Oh, this does NOT bode well… ESPECIALLY if Danae shows up as well….

@oldpine52: It makes no sense to call either Harry or Megan “parasites.” Harry was born into an unenviable position where his entire life has been one hounded by the press, harassed by people who hate the monarch which he did not choose to become part of, and expectations of perfect behavior and public service. He served honorably in the military — not as a figure head but actually doing the work. He has spent his entire adult life working to alleviate suffering — working harder than most and pushing himself well beyond what was expected. I don’t give a fig about the monarchy, but as a human being, the entire UK has had well more than their pound of flesh out of him. Sure, he lived in a gilded cage, but he’s earned his way out. And he has said repeatedly that he does not want to depend on public funding but rather earn it himself — what’s your problem with that? You object to a young family just wanting to live a normal life? As for Megan? She grew up in a distinctly UN-wealthy single parent family, worked very hard, got an education, made good — and fell in love with Harry. She has put up with the extreme racism of the Brits — and for a black American to be affected by it, it really has to be bad. Again, I don’t care a fig about the monarchy, but I care about human beings trying to protect their family. So if you want to attack parasites, try the actual leeches like those in the US White House.

So this is how they’re going to earn money, doing cameos in cartoons?

Gee, can they still afford the Offshore Diner???

Am I the only one that applauded Harry & Megan for having the guts to stand up to HRM and to Murdoch’s News Corp. vultures at the same time?

To Wiley, Really? So just like the majority of ’mercans, you are going to ignore the impeachment? Or are you just-like me-ignoring Trumps FOPN* legal team presentation because all of us already know how the GOTP/Cult Trump Senators are going to vote

FOPN=Faux Opinion and Propaganda Network

Harry Who? (Just kidding, altho I haven’t been following the melodrama. . .)

It’s his hidden third arm and cyborg chest he’s concerned about…

Well okay, maybe not.

Usually the Offshore Diner is more “surreal” than “quaint”—even if Cap’n Eddie isn’t there!

Thought they were banished to Canada …

So that’s where they ended up!

I thought they were going to Canada; or is the Offshore Diner in Canada?

While watching Netflix’s The Crown, I wondered how that series would end, other than the Queen keeling over dead.

I’ve lived all my life on the U.S. west coast and always referred to the Atlantic as a “pond”, which it is considering the size of the Pacific ocean.

Interesting that either Maine accents are thicker than English ones, or it’s just easier to portray/satirize the former in print…

I feel a little bad because I didn’t get it until I read the comments.

Flo doesn’t care who they are as long as they pay before they leave.

Where’s Archie?

Love this strip but I have NO interest in those two, even to roast them. Oh, Gawd, I hope you roast them.

My favorite restaurant joke starts with the hostess saying “sit where ever you like” . Well if I can sit any where I like, that guy by the window will have to move."

Look out US. This is all a plot to take the colonies back. First Canada then the US.

It’s OK. She’s the one person in the country who could care less what happens in the Brit Royal Family.

She’s got more than enough Drama in her own family, what with having Danae as a grandchild.

The problem for Wiley is that such topical posts will mean nothing in a few short years. It took me a couple of minutes to recognise what was going on in this toon.

A few years from now, it would take hours of online research to find out what it means.
