Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 12, 2023

And Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are all real

Cap’n Eddie has a lot of experience in making up tall tales, and finally, one paid off.

It is hard to think of a wish that nobody else would benefit from. They obvious wish is for money, but then I would have to go out of my way to insure that no one else benefited from it. I could wish for better health.

There wasn’t anything in the condition that said noone else could know about the wish.

His secret wish came true!

If you think that Moby Lobster was a fairy tale, it doesn’t come close to the amount of fantasy involved in having your bar tab cleared.

hahaha two things: i never thought a lobster could be cute but that baby… awww And look at the innocent smiley face in his pipe smoke at the end after he delivers his punchline of how good he is hahaha

OMG , she got played!

Eddie is a wiley one. Good use of suggestive and, possibly even reverse psychology.

And the lobster is THE SPAWN OF SVENGOOLIE!

This is the real reason the well-known seafood restaurant chain is not called “Green” or “Yellow” Lobster.

Wait, I have a bar bill, and I have known some lobsters!

As to those who told me she never served booze. Wrong!

I knew that!

And Eddie gets his wish.

And no one caught the name of the boat? From Merriam Webster: anoesis (noun) : consciousness that is pure passive receptiveness without understanding or intellectual organization of the materials presented

Eddie hit the trifecta today and parlayed it into a personal best. Anybody would enjoy that story and most would stand him a refill.

Moby Lobster should be white. Moby Dick was.

“WAIT A MINUTE ..”

(imagines a different version of this dialogue in this cartoon)

HUH?

“SCORE!”

(imagines a different version of this dialogue in this cartoon)

THANK YOU

Captain Eddie is my spirit animal.

I think the doctor needs to up his Prozac…

Moby speaks softly and carries big claws

Reminds me of: “Ah, Magoo, you’ve done it again.”

Never ever eat a lobster that weighs more than 1 1/4 pounds!

Wow, Mom’s gotten soft.

An effective use of indirect reverse psychology. Eddie is a genius.

Sometimes, it’s all in how you deliver the tale … ;)

Flo might as well clear Eddie’s bar tab. I don’t think he has paid anything on it in years.

I follow a YouTube channel where a guy had a spare salt-water fish tank. He bought a live lobster at the supermarket and has been keeping it in the tank.

Suckered…

Would that it were so simple …

nevah doubt the veracity of an ol’ swabby (sailor, to the ignoranti among us)!

The wish that keeps on giving…

BLUE Lobsters are considered so rare that they automatically get celebrity status.

There’s one in t he aquarium in Point Pleasant Beach,New Jersey

And … she fell for it!

never happened, except in Eddie’s mind
