Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 06, 2020

LOL Wiley you do so much with the stroke of a pen

Lemingnardo Da Vinci.

Despite this belief, lemmings don’t commit suicide going over cliffs. Strange but true.

He must be one of those California strains. “Hang 20, dudes!” (LEAP!)

Icarus of the Lemmings

I wonder if the lemmings in the rear are redesigning his model into something that might actually support the weight. Or many more passengers! Because the last one looks like he is pondering how much to charge per flight! ;)

“You said ‘jump’, but you never said how far!”

It’s pretty amusing that the whole lemming suicide thing is completely made up, but we all understand it so well anyway. I guess it’s no different from everybody knowing the same fables the plots of favorite movies.

No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the public (Most often attributed to H. L. Mencken, 1880-1956)

Nice symbolism here that the “progressive” is the survivor!!

Air Farce One

Whatever the nature of progress – remember traditions got us here, so far.

“Don’t fear the cliff!”

no politics, no politics, no politics… sooo hard to resist

I know it’s silly, but I’m just rooting for that one smart little lemming!

Big deal, some of my lemming have shovels and parachutes.

Copied from Non Sequitur comments on ArcaMax:

The U.S. Constitution is our best chance of avoiding the historical tradition of civilizations rising and then falling like lemmings off a cliff. Keeping the government responsible to the people is key, as is individual liberty and the freedom of self-determination. We are at a crisis now because of poor educational systems that encourage governmental dependency over the dignity of self-determination. Capitalism is the least oppressive economic system and the most productive and innovative of all other choices. It is our only chance of achieving the technology necessary for the abandonment of even having the necessity for government. This is why our educational systems need to be overhauled to stress the morality of respect not only for self but others as well.

Except we can all clearly see that plane was designed by Michael Jackson’s monkey!

that kinda looks like a hypersonic lifting body…

This hatred of the other (political, race, sexual orientation, religion and so forth) needs to end for us to progress.

FUN FACT. People are lemmings.

I equate this to the Agnostic’s Prayer…

I just want to be able to follow non sequitur online so I don’t use all that paper.

Put that lemming on the Supreme Court.

Turns out they’re a lot like humans. https://www.britannica.com/story/do-lemmings-really-commit-mass-suicide

Why is that lemming yelling, “Suckers! I have the full faith and strength of the Federal Government behind me! Herd immunity, I tell you!!!”

The glider might have a softer landing but into what?

One of his very best!

Fortunately the lemmings are on a Square Earth (from yesterday) so they will have gravity on that side too.

“When life gives you lemmings, avoid cliffs at all costs.”

No, they just overpopulate, then march off into the jaws of predators. Like us.

Actually, Norwegian parents warn their kids about chasing lemmings. If a lemming gets too excited, it explodes injuring everyone nearby.

SOME lemmings have got to survive to…well…make more lemmings!

And how did you arrive at that idea? Seemed logical to me they would just jump and die, then more would just spring up from spontaneous biogenesis on the corpses.

Anyone with a working brain should have simply analyzed it. I have created another (im)possible reason for the lemmings. They are lemmings from mysterious Leng.

It is only the Lemmings of Leng who do that. When they die after hitting the water new little ones bud on their corpses then swim away. A very strange life cycle that Disney found by accident when he located the footage from 1936. We will never know who went into Leng and filmed them, and other bizarre animals on Eastman Color film then got out. (He faked the fake and excised some footage recently found in an old 100 year old movie theater in Budapest.)

Maybe one of the Leng spiders got him. Who knows where Walt Disney got that footage, but he used it. Sneaky of him. (Miskatonic University has been inquiring for years and never gets an answer, just “return to sender” stamps on them.)
