Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 17, 2021

This is where we get a Broomhilda ZAP

God needs an editor? Then I’m right: he’s not as almighty as the priests say.

Very preposterous.

Who gets to write the Op-ed?!?

The whole book is a rather preposterous story arc!

“I’ll be out of the office that day. Just leave it for me to look at the following day.”

“Where will you be until then?”

“Probably out fishing… wait… @&$#, I have to create fish first.”

And on the eighth day GOD created the SIT-COM.

well, he looks like he needs a Rest.

So what if the story ends with dolphins flying away and saying Thanks for the fish? What’s preposterous about that?

At this rather sad point in human history I kind of hate to admit it but seems God just messed up creating humans in the first place for the most part, their ignorance and egotistical self love in the face of so many unsolved problems is simply disappointing and disgusting, amazing homo sapiens has made it this far but doubt the journey will continue past the next 50 years. Too bad God, nice idea at first. (Reality check)

“So replace ‘let them have dominion over …’ with ‘let them take good care of …’, and we’ll be fine … "

Having an editor is not the preposterous part of this comic.

Death, death where is thy comma? Nah, Willie Shakespeare would have rejected that.

So we’ve got a corner of the Earth’s globe through the door; but I also love the moon hanging off to the right of the planet, looking decidedly misshapen.

God’s editor must have been angel Satan before he got evicted to Hell!

Do you want to speak to the person in charge or the person that knows what’s going on?

On the sixth day, God created all the creatures…including man…

The revelation here is that the editor knows not “myth” as a literary genre.

Myth = Internalized “public dream” (J. Campbell)

“And here, this ostrich thing, are you sure that isn’t a typo?”

Reminds me of Chuck and Metatron(?) on Supernatural.

We should act like we are made in his image or we don’t get to finish our part.

Wait’ll ya see what your “creations” do with said story . . .

Gen 1:31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

It all began okay. Then, man…

God said Be a Good Steward, NOT leave a Big Sewer!

I wish I had an editor. …not

Given all the inconsistencies and disagreements in the Bible, if there was an editor, they were not very good.

We’ll fix it in the translated versions.

This one is very funny, if also very ironic. Not only has the text editing never stopped, it has proved time and again that a reliable autocorrect doesn’t exist.

On the 7th Day, God unwound by taking the leftover spare parts and creating the platypus.

Romans 11:32-36 NIV33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” 35 “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” 36 For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

Everyone wants to be God’s editor

Having done some editing myself, I truly believe God will get the joke.

I’ve had some editors that thought they were God!

She is probably more of a fan of Oolon Colluphid’s work

My guess is the Buddha used the same process

Meeting a tight deadline – well, that explains a lot of unfortunate things.

God and his Goddess…

God didn’t have an Editor. That’s why there’s so many typos in the Bible, the Koran and the Book of Mormon.

This was the conversation Wiley had when someone at the syndicate asked whatever happened to Victoria and explains the whole “no news cruise ship” storyline.

Imaginary friends are for children.

For the past several decades, I’ve been convinced that G_d did not take 7 days. More likely, it was around 11:30 on a Sunday night when G_d’s mother calls out, “G_d, have you finished your ‘Heaven and Earth’ project for school tomorrow?”

….God as some of us understand God

And on the eighth day the Marines filled sandbags.

…next chapter lets spice it up with some murder, sex, and slavery.

I always thought he used a holy ghost writer…

But he did co-author a best seller.

And the rest is history, or, at least partially in this case herstory.

I’m behind schedule.They STILL haven’t put this strip back in NEWSDAY since that “coded Donald Trump” t hing.

But they kept MALLARD FILLMORE;the unfunniest strip of all.EXplain this.And using the word “insane” doesn’t count.

Has the mini-Punisher kid started World War 3 yet?

Not as bad as the time he put in a job application and was asked to explain that gap in his work history on the Seventh Day.

Maybe Buddha had it right all along.

What if God is like grandma. Remember what grandma said about the chocolate chip cookies that didn’t turn out quite right?

In the beginning, God created Heaven and the Earth, then He rested. Then He created the plants and the beasts and the birds, then He rested. Then He created Man, then He rested. Then He created woman, and since then neither Man nor God has rested.

Wait until you see the re-write!

Wiley, this was certainly thought-provoking, and a great conversation starter. Have you seen how far the discussion ranged?

Damned deadline!
