Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 20, 2022

And steam rollers can rev it up to about 15 mph. If you don’t know where you’re going you should drive slowly… At least that seems to be the theory of some vehicles I’ve been stuck behind — as different passengers in the car gesture wildly in different directions.

BTW: It’s not “The road to Hell” that’s paved with good intentions, but Hell itself that’s paved.

I have followed a taxi to the airport before.

It’s always best to take your time on the highway to hell. You know where you’re going, so you might as well and stop to smell the flowers.

One foggy night in Arkansas, my father followed someone into their drive way.

And that company name? A lie.

I hear AC/DC.

Often wonder about these so called good intentions. From whose point of view are they good.

Not only does he know the way, he’ll make it easy for you to get there …

The next stop . . . the Twilight Zone.

And (what luck!) it’s downhill all the way.

The cult classic movie Highway To Hell has a scene where the hero is driving through Hell to rescue his girlfriend (Hell looks suspiciously like the American southwest) and he passes a road construction project. The company is of course the Good Intentions paving company. One of those so bad it’s fun to watch films.

I’ve been on that road for a long time, four lanes wide, down hill all the way

Looks like Wiley is trying to completely explain progressives in a cartoon.

I wonder if there’s really a paving company with that name?

All you commenters are going to get heck for typing hell here on Gocomics.

The road to Eternity. Sorry, no offramps…… ever.

I remember an issue of The Inferior Five, a DC humor comic of the 1960’s, where Th Five go to Asgard and visit the Norse Hell, the road was paved with words saying Good Intensioons.

Patterson Lake Rd., the road that leads into the small hamlet of Hell, Michigan (I have been there 8×) could use repaving!!

A warning is printed on the back of some trucks used in construction: “Do not follow.” or “Do not follow into construction zone.”

I have never believed the toad to hell is paved with good intentions. Sometimes the road to disaster is, but not hell. The road to hell is paved with lust for power and wealth — and callous disregard for the needs of others, especially the most vulnerable.

Except for the roller in front, that could be The Bad Humor Man.

Speaking of the Devil’s!

The road to H-E-Double Hockey Stick is paved w/ good intentions! :D

Of course this is one that the right wing likes to use against the policies of their perceived enemies! :-)

It is cute that Wiley assumes that many people for a moment consider themselves to have let alone actually do have good intentions these days. Malice aforethought is both the current and the constant state of mind for too many people. Just consider the trolls here not to mention people you meet on the highway at rush hour

My apologies to Trudeau for my faux pas before. Got up for a second cup and forgot which cartoon strip I was on

There’s a theme today. Over on Free Range they’re referencing “hell in a hand basket”

There’s a stairway to Heaven and highway to Hell which gives you an idea of the expected levels of traffic.

The narrow road rarely is paved. Full of potholes, etc.

I wonder if he’s repaving Shades of Death Road.Yes, it’s a real place—or two real places, actually—-one in New Jersey, the other in Pennsylvania.

My driver’s ed book included the story of a guy who rear-ended a steam roller and tried to convince the judge that it had darted out in front of him. Judges need a good laugh once in a while.

And that’s just one possibility

All roads were paved with good intentions but look where that has led us. No, really, look! Keep your eyes on the road.

Judging by the side of the road on which they are driving, hell is possibly somewhere in England.

Wouldn’t the Road To Hades be bumpy enough to be a tip-off?

Folks. Heaven is the other way.

Hmm. Not worried in the least. We all know the road to THAT place is paved WITH good intentions, not BY good intentions. Now if there were a bigger steamroller running right behind ready to smash the Good Intentions truck into the pavement, I might be worried.

Jauntily saunters off to that place all pedants go…

Our street was supposed to be finished by October first. It still is blocked off and has yet to be paved. Wheat are they waiting for? Snow?

But that guy doesn’t have good intentions, so this makes no sense.

In Hawai`i we have a "Stairway to Heaven, but a few of our legislators want to tear it down, leaving us with a highway to HeII

Hell!

Will the paver leave a fork in the road?

Silliest saying in the universe. ALL GOOD things begin with a Good Intention. It’s if you don’t follow through that you fail.

If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, what is the Pennsylvania Turnpike paved with?

Whew, I was beginning to thing that old saying had been forgotten, and everyone figured that good intentions were all that mattered.
