Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 24, 2021

hello, Area 51? have i got a case for you!

I think the alien needs a little higher octane fuel than we have at the nearest gas station

I’ve been on that road, its 3 miles west of Roswell.

They should put padded bras on so people will stop and help them.

I’d like to report an Unleaded Flying Object.

Stupid all right. If he was carrying his Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, he’d be waving a towel instead of sticking out his thumb.

And all this time we thought they would be running on dilithium.

How many times do you have to be told to check that before you leave the planet.

They should also go to the parts store and pick up a fuel gauge.

Galactic symmetry at its finest!

Reminds me of Jeff Bridges from “Starman”. Hmm he quickly picked up on “Take it easy” with the thumbs up, “Up Yours” with the middle finger and that a red light meant stop, a green light meant go and a yellow one meant to go even faster. Good movie.

You ever notice how supposedly intelligent super ‘sorts’manage to crash in the desert? Goody. Let’s get some really high-tech from them……

The fact that they seem to crash almost every visit says something about their technology. Would we really want to use it?

Raising one’s thumb is a galaxy wide gesture meaning either requesting a ride from a passing vehicle, or signaling to someone ‘up yours’s’. If they weren’t carrying empty fuel containers, it might have started an interplanetary war.

Never leave home without making sure your tank is filled with Illudium Pu-36. It isn’t just for blowing up the earth any more.

Must be I-89 in Vermont. I was stranded there once with a co-worker going to Burlington. A road ranger got us some fuel.

I guess that is sort of what it looked like the day after “Independence Day”. Great movie.

I was sure I could come up with something funny here, but I’m at the bottom and I still got nuthin’

If they’re using gasoline too they’re not an advanced civilization

Thanks for a good laugh, Wiley!

Could be a problem, not much interstellar traffic on that road. Guess he needs an Uber Lyft…

Aliens are telling each other, don’t even stop at Earth for gas. — Comedian Kathleen Madigan

This could support the hypothesis that rednecks would not be unique to the human species (providing you accept there is other intelligent life in the universe).

In a future strip, I could see Lar’s redneck cousin saying, hey you all, watch this…

“Didn’t you check the fuel gauge before setting out across a desert?” “No. You?”

If one of them had a flip phone, they could get scotty to beam them up.

How did it get to that point and the guy only just then notices? And who’s going to pick up someone holding a gas can? That’d be pretty dangerous.

Indeed. You have a better chance of being picked up if you stand where drivers can see you before it’s too late to stop. (Duh.)

How come UFOs never look like anything that NASA builds? The UFO obviously made it to Earth so NASA must be wrong.

That’s not a UFO, it’s a UAP. Or was, before it landed.

He needs to phone home

This is like something Gary would do.

“No fair, he’s got a bigger thumb!”

Wouldnt the space ship need plutonium?

Love this one!!!

I love this So Much!!!!!

Gasoline is the perfect fuel, even advanced interstellar travelers are still using it.
