A week or so ago I was ruminating on how we’re using ever more sophisticated puzzles to train raccoons and squirrels to take over for us as the most intelligent species on the planet after we’ve killed ourselves off, but I unaccountably failed to include bears in the list of our possible successors.
The weekday comics are always fun and I never miss a day. But the Sunday comics are what REALLY make my day. Strips like this are why: Always unexpected and always fun. Thank you, Wiley Miller, for doing what you do!
While I don’t like being the stickler for details, I have to go ahead be one here. How could the trapeze be above a hang glider and a cliff? This is like Tarzan’s vine all over again.
Color the bears, using only four colors. No two contiguous bears can be the same color. . .this page can be printed out numerous times, and colored numerous ways. . .NICE GOING, WILEY! It should keep millions busy and happy for days!
I’m wondering how many of the newspapers that made the stupid, dishonest, cowardly, and pathetic decision to stop carrying “Non Sequitur” later came to their senses? So far, here in Kansas City (home to the syndicate!), no senses re-taking close at hand.
Wiley, good Sir, have you ever thought of starting a webpage dedicated to submissions of these coloring editions? Surely it would be popular and people would really enjoy seeing the varying submissions.
So many papers around the country have still blocked this comic; therefore we can’t print this one. You have it blocked from being able to print from the computer. How about doing a release, if only when you have the bears crayon strip?
I looked and looked. I checked the mountainsides. I checked the grassy areas. I checked above and below the waterline. I even checked the octopus tentacles. Not one Trump comment! SO Disappointed.

I’d bet a grade school teacher once noticed Wiley drawing bears and insisted they don’t smile or ride bikes or have fun.
