Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 13, 2022

The term “butterfly effect” comes to mind.

Someone watched, “Don’t Look Up.”

Danae, the planet killer

Earth extinction event 2022 now in motion.

1 Astrological Chain Reaction, Ala Danae, Coming Up!

Fortunately for reality, the asteroid belt’s rocks are a lot further apart than depicted here.

Is this going to be the Russian satellite destruction all over?

And all those “little rocks” are now on a collision course with earth. Should all arrive about dinner time. I think dinner is supposed to be a liver and eggplant casserole

Don’t worry. It’s only physics.

As far as rocky relationships are concerned – Danae totally rocks!

They need to play REM’s “Its The End Of The World As We Know It” for the hyperdrive flight back to Earth.

God doesn’t play dice with the universe but maybe god plays pool sometimes.

Saucer in the corner pocket.

“Don’t Look Up”

Famous last words? Tears before bedtime I think …

Lars insurance company isn’t going to like this.

You know the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field is 100,000-1.

Wonder if Lars has ever played Asteroids?

Not to worry. The Jewish Space Laser will take care of them.

Stupid selfies!

cue the ominous music

So the Earth and all intelligent (and otherwise) life is about to be destroyed because of an iPhone. Not only poetic but 100% accurate one way or another.

Cheer up. She’s got an app for that.

It’s gonna be a bumpy ride!

I love the strips with Danae and her family.LL&P

What started the Shoemaker – Levy event?

Oh boy!

NEVER ask that question!

Big mistakes can come from little boo boos. No telling what happened to Honey boo boo.

When I said “pass it along”, I meant a cup of coffee in the drive through

Nooooo! You NEVER ask that question!! It’s like having sex in a horror movie!

I’ve heard of Lucifer’s Hammer, but Danae’s Hammer?

She never saw dominoes topple, has she?

I said the same thing when Donald Trump came down the escalator!

Physics is part of that science stuff so it is also part of that liberal commie conspiracy to pervert our beliefs and make us all slaves to their “educational” manifesto. :oP

Instead of sending a rock to crash into the Earth, those crashing into each other will create another world, over time.

I think we’re about to find out.

I want to switch my service to Danae’s cell phone company.

Well that certainly explains the imminent meteor/asteroid/chunk of solid material fly-by.

The Butterfly effect?

famous last words…..

This is how “Don’t Look Up” starts out.

Isn’t that what the dinosaurs said when they saw the asteroid coming to earth?

Panic In The Sky.Paging Superman……

one of those questions that should not be asked

Oh Oh… This does not bode well.

That is some sweet WiFi tech Lars has…

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost.

For want of a shoe, the horse was lost.

For want of a horse, the rider was lost.

For want of a rider, the battle was lost.

For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost.

And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Uh oh. Incoming… Don’t Look Up.

Commence the Planet-Killing domino effect…

It’s just a small rock. Barely larger than a butterfly.

It’s a good thing that the asteroid belt actually isn’t that close to to each other. Debris field, maybe, not the belt.

I hope this doesn’t foreshadow Wiley retiring.

Cue Bruce Willis & Ben Affleck

Avalaunch.

Asteroids aren’t fields or tight clusters typically, in they’re 100’s of thousands and millions of miles apart.

The butterfly effect?

F = ma. So the larger the asteroid, the less acceleration imparted to it (minus parasitic drains like friction). Nothing to worry about, probably.

Oops…

And dominoes!

A question that never has a good answer

“DON’T LOOK UP”

STNG … when the Enterprise was trapped, in the minefield that was disguised as an asteroid belt.

“What’s the worst that could happen?” One of the top ten “Famous Last Words” lines.

Oh boy, my family name is in this comic! 4 times, even!
