Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 05, 2021

Dressed mutton on the hoof

Now the shepherd is thinking that his life would be easier if used pollen at the shearing station.

Damn GMO Sheep. It looked  like a great idea to avoid the price of shearing, but then this happens…

Sheep shearer/owner: “Oh, if only it were that easy.”

One thing i realised the hard way in past year – never sneeze(violently) into a face mask.

Do sheep sneeze through their pores?

He just got fleeced.

That would be a shear delight!

That sheep must have mange or something for the wool to just fly off like that.

Pollen allergy? Perhaps it’s just allergic to wool.

That one is named “Sneezy”.

I know about the Lion and the Lamb – but a cross between a lamb and a dandeLion?!?

Makes shearing easier, I suspect….

Naked and afraid!

Will put sheep sheerers out of a job!

Heredity or Environment?

I’m thinking heredity/genetics is a greater factor in this situation.

“GOING to be”???? We’ve been in pollengeddon for weeks now.

That sheep’s defective.

Now he’ll have to go on the lamb and find another ban.

That’s my dog – it’s daily vacuuming for a month until she stops shedding…

I was going to say that. As a matter of fact, I will.

That’s new. It blew the stuffing “off” her, instead of out of her.

Bless ewe

that’s a baad omen

There’s another pill opportunity for big FARMa.

Poor little fellow looks kinda sheepish…

Now that was a sneeze.

Oh dear me. It’s that bad dream again.

It’s OK, Lambie. Greek Easter is May 1st, so we’d be doing that anyway.

It’s that way here too.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

At least it didn’t turn out to be a wolf!

Welcome to MY world! I live on the southern edge of the northern pollinators and the northern edge of the southern pollinators (along the fecund eastern seaboard, that is). I’m in allergy central… quite literally! As I type, my meteorologist just showed the pollen count for many trees… 10.7 out of 12, for 4 types of trees. I have tree, grass, flower, dust, mold, mildew, etc. allergies. Gesundheidt!

Allergic to wool?

She said sheepishly.

Wiley all your animals are adorable

Shear madness.

A mutant sheep that when it sneezes all the fur flies off…

Hope it isn’t a wool allergy!

The strip today certainly unleashed quite a few quickie puns!

If only. Shearing would be so much easier and so much less traumatic.

When it gets Really bad, he also shears the 3 sheep closest to him with his sneeze.

The sneeze was so bad that not only did it knock his socks off, it knocked them off before they were even socks.

They’ve been trying to find a way, in this country, to shear sheep without using shears for years, now. Never thought of that one, though.

No need for shearing that one.

I don’t get this joke.

I hate it when that happens.
