Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 04, 2022

Piere of ze North’s Neighborhood.

I guess some polar bears like their meat crunchy.

Reminiscent of a famous “The Far Side” cartoon by Gary Larson. The cartoon showed a polar bear breaking into the top of an igloo saying to another polar bear, “Oh hey! I just love these things! … Crunchy on the outside and a chewy center!”

There Hungary !

The polar bear version of “Wack-A-Mole”.

I’ve been told that at least one airport in northern Alaska has a sign over the exit door: “Once you pass through this door, you are no longer at the top of the food chain.”

Wiley Bears go polar!

Polar Bears like reverse York Peppermint Patties- white on the outside dark on the inside!

…Eskimo pops, love those crunchy centers…

“Surprise!” Party

The original Igloo coolers.

And researchers still wonder why polar bears huddle.

“Eskimo Pies,” made with real Eskimos.

Are those still sold? I think I read the name was considered culturally offensive. If so — my apology. And to the Irish, for Irish Stew. And the Italians and Polish for their sausages. Etc.

Not just in the funny papers. Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but at certain airports in The Great White North, the polar bears know when to lie in wait for a meal. Any time a light bulb burns out along the runway, the bears know that soon someone will arrive to replace it; and they lie completely flat in the snow, with a paw covering their black noses.

Like leftovers in the fridge.

I love Wiley bears!

YAY!!! WILEY POLAR BEARS!!! YAY!!!

What do Eskimos (sorry, “Inuit”) use to fix cracks in their ice houses?

Igloo!

This is a toon arc we might see a lot less of as the arctic polar bear moves south to mate with the brown bears of Canada. And, oh yes, igloos will be a thing of the past, too.

otherwise known as “casing the joint”

Love those Wiley bears. They’re so . . . so. . . um, wily. ;-)

Watched this closely is it any wonder some will get caught acting foolishly? Meanwhile in the next village over the Innuit are getting away with sunbathing and snow angels as the bears only focus on “those” Eskimos.

Always love the bears.

Who watches the watchers indeed.

Wiley bears in the Arctic.

Wiley bears are the best

My cats nickname is “Neighborhood Watch”. When we are out walking at dawn, if anybody else is on the street, she has to sit and watch until they are out of sight.

I had another cat who was a Watch Cat. I’m not saying she would fight a burglar but later, in the lineup, she would be the one pointing a claw at the suspect. “Meow.”

Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside.

To survive teach polar bears to drive snowmobiles.

How about the snakes at the vending machine?

The only thing better would be to have a sign highlighting welcome to southern california. global warming what a concept.

Gotta love the Wiley Bears.

Equal time for Polar Bears at last!!grizzlies,grizzlies,always grizzlies….

There’s always the coiled sharpened fishbone hidden in a whale blubber pellet trick.

I think I’ll move to a different neighborhood

There’s also one Wiley Bear waiting inside of the outhouse, in case somebody makes it that far.

I think there is an urban version of this with pigeons roosting just outside the car wash.

Polar bears are starving as the ice melts.

“Warriors, Come Out To Play”

Ahhh! The Wiley Polar Bears!!!!! ❤️

There’s a sad newspaper article about how they retrieve and dispose of bears who get hit by cars. But links are discouraged here. It might also be subscriber-only.

The Last Safe Spaces below Zero

Fun Fact: Igloos were shaped that way so that they looked, from a distance, like a sleeping Polar Bear.

Even another Polar Bear doesn’t want to wake up a Sleeping Polar Bear.

Hey, Polar Bears gotta eat … ;)

I suffer from Spoonerism and have never been able to tell the difference between polar bears and a bowl of pears.

I live in fear of fruit.

I hate when that happens.

They can’t stay inside forever.

Reminds me of my all-time favourite NonSeq where there’s a row of igloos for sale… but one is really the entrance to an igloo with a polar bear agape* behind it.*Not the Greek kind.
