Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 26, 2022

Why archeologists don’t have side gigs as cartoonists

….seconds before they were all eaten.

Here’s another word: Appetizer.

said the anthropomorphized allosaur.

“I take ‘annihilated’ for $500, Jack”

“Allosaurus”

‘abolished’

The earliest version of the letter “A” was rotated about 200° and was supposed to resemble the head of an ox, with what are now the 2 legs of the “A” representing its horns.

That’s an angry looking Thesaurus.

In reality, the dinosaurs and primates missed each other by at least 65 million years. The T-Rex (I suppose) is the anachronism in this scene. Therefore, the cavemen are quite safe.

To the ‘visitor’: “You’re not supposed to be here.”

To himself: “… Or maybe we’re not supposed to be here (yet).”

A for Aaaaaugh!!!

T-Rexus inerrutptus is always considered a bad thing!

who lives to tell the tale is the historian, who doesn’t, is the annoying grease from your gas tank, right smack dab on your trousers.

Which leads to the question : how do you make a dictionary for hieroglyphics?

The ACME Company has to-the-door delivery. Wiley Coyote will be over (howling at) the moon.

At their pace, and with four letters per edition, it will be C.E. before “Zuniceratops” gets registered as an entry.

If you wanna read a crazy story about dictionaries, read The Professor and the Madman. Putting together the Oxford English Dictionary was indeed a trip. . .

Anachro-saurus

Webster’s, the abridged version.

hmmm ….. Another repete!! Does this mean I’ve seen all he’s got or is Wiley just on vacation???

Appetite, and appetizer(s)

Just what is an “achronism”.

Just thank Aunty Anachronism for it!!!

It’s a Wileysaurus!

Hey, you went right past “absurdity”. :)

These guys are more advanced than the Romans who are still using those pesky I’s and V’s

T-REX’S had such short arms they couldn’t fire guns——which makes them far less dangerous than humans.

Probably correct, but they have those pesky sharp teeth.

Wasn’t Webster the American version of the Oxford English dictionary? America wasn’t around during the cave…man…

oh….

I would think “Oh Sh” would be the first entry.

Which anachronism? Various kinds of dinos are quite clearly depicted on South American ancient ceramics.

I had to look it up. Nice. A stab at people like me.

Didn’t need the dinosaur for that.
