Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 25, 2021

Is there a Rock and Roll Heaven?

Pity that ride isn’t always true. There are plenty of famous people I would love to see take a “fall” in their popularity to nothing.

Is that the Trump White House staff?

You never want to be on the maiden voyage of a new roller coaster.

Final Destination©.

If I sit in the back, will I have time to jump off?

Looks like we’re over the second wave ok.

The MAGA roller coaster.

What to do with all social media influencers!

Quit while you’re on top.

15 seconds of fame. Let’s go for it.

What is causing the cars to go up hill?

If they say

Why (why?), why (why?)

Tell ‘em that it’s human nature

Why (why?), why (why?)

Does he do me that way?

I thought fame was supposed to last for 15 minutes, not nanoseconds.

Thank god I never cared for fame. If it happens, it happens, but I’m not gonna shoot for it. This comic is a perfect example why!

…Ride to fame…I’ll assume that the ride is 15 minutes long…

I see all these headlines about people I don’t know or even care about. Mavis Bigbrest HAS A HANGNAIL REMOVED BY DR OZ! Or equally vacuous.

They will make the papers and the nightly news. That’s fame of a sort.

ya, ride to fame. for whom?

At the saṃsāra theme park you ride it over and over again… But you don’t learn anything.

(Saṃsāra = reincarnation, more or less)

. . .or “Infamous”. . .

Houston, we have a problem

The Final Destination

The world existed before there were human beings and it will exist after humans are extinct

So it appears the trip to fame is up hill all the way and then you die. Sort of makes you think doesn’t it? …duh, nope.

This result has been seen so often in recent years, it is painful to contemplate. Even as we speak. . .!!

Climate change is the game ender perpetrated by selfish humans…

Darwin awards for all! also sink all cruise ships.

Gasp! MOMEEEEEEE

Looks like the Republican Party ride.

When I was young I thought it would be great to be rich and famous. Then I watched what happened to Britney Spears and so many others. That’s when I realized I was happily not famous.

Uh-oh, everybody got someone else to hold their beers.

bullseye !!

Sometimes it slides down backwards – sometimes.

I saw a graffiti photo posted on Pinterest that read, “Stop making stupid people famous!” Today’s strip exemplifies that statement.

Apparently, going to heaven or hell gives you fame.

Must be at the cheetojesus cult compound/theme park

Should it be a free fall from the peak, or should there be a rail guiding you straight into the ground?

Those people all look so happy.

The ‘On your honor’ ride….

Yep the higher they go the further they fall.

Ain’t it the truth.

After the fall they will appear in commercial ads for insurance or Rx drugs.

Something is wrong. None of those people are taking selfies.

Well, that’s one way to get there, but unfortunately, you won’t be alive to live it.

Whenever I watch a movie about trying to stop an asteroid that will hit the Earth, I root for the asteroid.

I once had a university student who told me that all she wanted in life was to “be famous.”

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was a memory of a weird video made from the game “Roller Coaster Tycoon”. After much looking, I found it here: https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=708
