Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 07, 2021

If people don’t want to wear masks, I just refer to it as “evolution in action.”

He is a card, isn’t he?!?

Anthropomorphizing natural forces is almost never a good idea.

The best part about getting old is your hearing goes. Then you get hearing aids and no one can tell when you turn them off

One gray lining is that most people have taken a step back from rampant consumerism and learned there’s more to life.

Where can I get those cards?

“Dear John…”

If Nature “cleans up” the planet, where will future scientists come from?

Remember that joke about being in prison and one of the inmates yells out “#43!” and everybody laughs… then another one yells out “Twelve!” and people kind of groan and roll their eyes. The new guy wonders what that’s about, and is told that with nothing else to do, they’ve told the same jokes over and over and over until they decided to save time by just giving them numbers…

In this comic, the guy could just be calling out “#3-a” …

Had I tried this tactic it would only have made it worse, far worse.

“You’re allowed to have your opinion and I will continue to have mind. You know how this will end so why begin it?”

“Nature working to clean up the planet”

Alas, the problem is far worse than “nature” can handle. CoVid has killed over 2 500 000 in the last year. It sounds promising but barely puts a dent into the nearly 100 000 000 who were born. And the ones who died were mostly old and going to die soon anyway while the newborns can grow up to make more babies.

Here is a question for you: if 90% of the human population were to vanish overnight, what would the world be?

Overpopulated.

Oh my, DH just told me he doesn’t like discussing anything with me anymore b/c I only see negative things & many things scare me (check out predatory guardianship, my latest nightmare)

But, you know, USA2020, the aftershocks.I can’t find much good news to discuss.

Cruel, however that is the truth. Been going on ever since the first living creature arrived.

Right wingers appear to be mentally ill.

The Guardian.

‘Here fire, you hungry?’ Idaho Covid protesters teach their children to burn masks in front of capitol

this toon appears to be mansplaining of one gender giving sage advice to the other gender so absolutely in need of direction and guidance.

I’ve got to get me some of those cards!!!!!!!!!

I play cards, not fight them.

Card to the network news folks. Attention. The Reports on Covid-19 are no long BREAKING NEWS!! Call it the Daily Covid Update or Covid Where You Are, but not Breaking News.

Checkout today’s Freshly Squeezed by Ed Stein. Collaboration or coincidence?

2020 might make us more conscientious about fighting disease in general. It has given us tools to connect more closely with distant loved ones or those in a variety of isolated circumstances, and one hopes that will continue… Uh, after that I got nothing. (Someone above expressed the hope it might make us less materialistic. I’m not sure about that. I suspect it encouraged more people to order things on-line.)

Is this just a more sophisticated version of “here’s your sign”.

Enough said:

?? My situation is a little different, she speaks and I grunt occasionally to show I’m listening.

A good run beats a bad fight every time, however, a man who stands for nothing will fall for anything. I’m not sure these platitudes apply, but I haven’t heard them in a while so I thought I would bring them out to play today.

Hmmmm, I need to get me some of those cards.

Which writer used to reply to reader letters with postcards that said “Dear Sir or Madam: You may or may not be right. Sincerely…” H.L. Mencken? Mike Royko?

“Mrs. Colonel, who glared at her husband. ’I’ll talk to you about this later, Charles,” she growled. To her surprise, his smile did not change. ‘Yes, dear, I suspect you will, but I think you’ll find that I won’t be listening.’" From Snuff by Sir Terry Pratchett (2011).

Oh my God! Wiley has been spying on my marriage.

A well placed “Yes dear” should suffice.

Well, she is correct. Mother Nature is none too happy with us humans. Time for a BA virus to teach us a lesson.

Pick a card, please!

On the back is the same for the next argument.

Sure beats the wife’s rolling eyes when I say something she doesn’t agree with.

Mrs. Baker is disappointed the culling wasn’t more effective.

I may just have a few thousand of those cards printed up.

And one day, Dear Hubby looks up to hand a card to the wife whose words he constantly ignored, and finds the chair empty and realizes the voice he wasn’t listening to was the television. He decides to lie down and take a nap. When he reaches his bed, he discovers the mouldering corpse of his wife, who had passed away (and was now far beyond the reach of his passive-aggressive ignoring technique) some time ago…

Darwinism is going to clean up this planet

Where can I get some of those cards?

Is it me, or is it getting ugly in here?

2 rules for a happy home – Rule 1: Your wife is always right. Rule 2: Refer to rule 1.

People who do not wear masks who have been shown numerous times to work are probably sociopaths from recent research.

A woman says " We never talk any more"

Translation: " You don’t listen anymore when I talk "

Unfortunately we have to have world wars, a holocaust and pandemics to cull the herd instead of humane enlightened population control.

So what would the guy say against her theory? Her idea sounds right to me. Fewer people and less driving IS good for the planet.

Two book characters were asked why they hated each other. One said We don’t hate each other. The other said, Yeah, it’s more a case of persistent not liking

Take a card…

When tempted to Argue with Mother Nature, just remember, She Always Wins.

Sorry if anybody else pointed this out, but I’m not slogging through 197 comments to see :^)

So 500,000+ dead was worth all the PPE dumped in landfills or burned as medical waste?

Redheads.

Where can I get some of those cards? They’re perfect.
