Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 05, 2022

Looks like Google and Youtube and a bunch of other “social media” have gone there

Just as an FYI. CC that’s been in the bottle for 65 years does change taste and not for the better. It is still drinkable

This is false advertising. Some people think Heck is less bad than Hell.

Doesn’t Phil have dibs on Heck?

Hmm. Heck, Michigan…. just doesn’t sound as good.

Well, the guy is in the right place…

If that guy was from the 70’s, he’s gonna have a fit when Dr. Johnny Fever arrives this week: “BOOOGERRRRRR!” (yeah, he may belong somewhere else for all I know, RIP Howard Hessman)

As Mr. Shakespeare opined eons ago, “A rose by any other name…..”

He must be an American. Only they think the word hell is a curse word

Heck, the Hell with that!

Smite him please

Remembering an old Carol Burnett sketch where she was forced to refer to “this gosh-forsaken heck-hole”.

Some people think Heck is worse than Hell. Instead of eternal fire, you have to sit through an eternity of vacation pictures and foodie photos.

Everyone in the place where the devil is will be screaming and swearing. They haven’t got anything to lose by not swearing:

I prefer the " F " word myself .

Hopefully there is a warm spot in Heck for Thomas Bowdler and his sister Henrietta for ‘cleaning up’ Shakespeare. (Comment intended for the historically inclined.)

But at least they won’t have to read “MAUS” when they go there. Or any other banned books.

The GOCOMICS censors know where they will end up!

Minced oaths often take funny turns. A student, thinking to please his mother and avoid some bitter stuff on his tongue, avoided saying ‘God!!’ by substituting GahWAD!!. Didn’t work for his mom, but became part of the local lexicon as a thing with other students. Wonder if he’s still doing that all these decades later.

Come on red guy. You got a pointy stick and you’re already where you are going to be. Just puncture him. He earned it.

Before Cancel Culture there was Minimizing Culture. Arguably, both marketing spin.

That censor is having a devil of a time.

Words are just code. Euphemisms are code for code. Truly a pointless endeavor for people who are afraid of words.

Did the they change the sign at the entrance that reads “Abandon all hope ye who enter here.” ?

Oh -he could have used one of his older characters: Phil - Prince of Insufficient Light, Ruler of Heck. Love him! The very definition of a mid-level bureaucrat demi-god.

Scott Adams [Dilbert] has been using that gag for years.

Darned to heck!

So that’s a nanny bot…

News flash, Heck is not hot, it is white,piled and drifted around my house, and at the rate I’m going I’ll be shoveled out some time in July.

We know why he was chosen. Some people just never change their ways.

When Hell moved to Indiana… Wait, It’s always been there!

I guess “Welcome to the BAD Place” wouldn’t fit…

Heck Allen? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Wilson_Allen

Well I see Anthony Comstock has fit right in.

Just want to point out that even the Southern Baptist church I was sent to as a child always told us “Hell isn’t a bad word, but it’s a very bad place”

Funny, I had a good laugh over this toon!

Remember, the devil was once an angel. Catholics STILL invoke Lucifer in their Easter mass.

To make the censorship complete, lose the tail and horns. Gives devils a bad name

I’m still working on a 15-17? yr old creme de menthe, 1/2 Tbsp at a time in Peppermint Patty hot cocoa.

The book banners have branched out into other areas.

What’s in a name?…..

I though the devil went to Georgia.

At least the book burning will be easier

Reminds me of that Rocko’s Modern Life episode

Scott Adams might have something to say about this. I see others remember Phil, Prince of Insufficient Light and ruler of Heck.

Why is Satan smiling?

I’m going to heck for putting the spoons away in the wrong spot in the silverware caddy.

To hell they deserve. Hekk isn’t a word.

Bizarro is also seeking to change the H-word.

…except that censors, like art/movie/theater critics, are lower on the rungs than actually creative people. They definitely don’t get to tell devils what to do. They’re more like imps.

Seems censorship in Hell would be replacing “Heck” with “Hell?”

This is a “Rocko’s Modern Life” moment. Welcome to heck!

Hey! Is he running with scissors?

As someone once remarked “If you don’t believe in gosh you’ll go to heck”.

Looks like Kate and Danae’s dad from the back.
