Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 18, 2020

Thank you Wiley, I’m enjoying this arc

“Next week: War of Words”.

Or another town hall debate, depending. ;-)

The difference between motivating by fear and ignorance vs. motivating by love and knowledge.

Seems today times when some populist leader spread fear and anxiety . In Italy we have two of them .

There is always someone at the bottom of a pileup!

And sometimes… that trod-on person… switches sides.

Beware of who you walk all over!

It would be awesome if it was like this. Live your life, then go for another round – I would definitely prefer my memory intact if it was the case.

Really enjoying this story. It’s something different and I love it.

Those in power fear progress because progress may leave them behind.

Aw. mate, it’s always been a war of words!!

Guy in the last panel…a predecessor of “the Donald”?

Remember when the strip was actually clever? How it’s just woke dogmatism.

This arc has 2 more Sundays before the election. Wonder what the one after will look like.

For you cranks….even Ted Williams didn’t get on base every time. Wander off somewhere else in comic land and see what you can find. Let us know how it goes.

I’m enjoying this genre. It’s smart, it’s clever and it’s only on Sundays. The rest of the week it’s same ol’ good stuff we all know and all love.

See, the other Amazon…

The troglodytes weigh in!

last panel reminds me of my recent disturbing vision of a leader standing on an elevated platform saluting the crowd below. Kind of like about 80 years ago. Sends chills up my spine.

You can please some of the people some of the time…

I like this arc, but i am confused… is this meant to represent our prehistoric past, or our near future?

I’m sure they’re screaming “Lock her up!”.Some things never change.

I came for the story line, but I stayed for the lunatic comments. (Not really…but the comments do get a chuckle from time to time)

the beginning of hate groups.

And a Goo, goo, gachoo to you too!

Getting really tired of the ‘Man bad’ narrative. Removing from my list of ‘Funnies’.

I’m curious about the meaning of time in Bert’s world. Does he view all of our space-time continuum as a fixed 4-dimensional object that he can just poke and prod anywhere that strikes his fancy? Does time actually pass for him as well?

And why don’t we all have woolly mammoths instead of dogs and cats as house pets?

When Bert says that Homer “carried on your work”, and all the other adults in the tribe are women, and I spot a couple of little kids in the hogans, I’m thinking it might not have been all that much like work.

I am intrigued here.. Those who dislike this strip and its current arc.. Are you Trump supporters or Biden supporters?

Hard to organize anything if you can’t communicate effectively.

Wiley really can get self-indulgent sometimes.

The last three panels are very Trumpian.

Vichy France, 1942

Looks like Calvin’s ancestor on the wall.

Is this guy Danae’s ultimate ancestor? The thought-skull gives it away.

I believe the term is “Angry White Men” still going on today.
