Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 03, 2023

The house isn’t bowled over

I’m impressed. He used the word “flotsam” correctly. Jetsam is flotsam washed up on the beach, which is what his door became.

Does this mean Kate and Danae don’t get to go out on the Anoesis again?

Give Eddy a free drink for the great story

Is he paying? drinks all around?

I am waiting for “The Book of Eddie”

I like how Paulie always remains on Eddie’s shoulder unperturbed by whatever is happening.

Did the middle judge deduct a half point for using a door instead of a regular board?

Wells Jetty…as in Wells, Maine?

“And wi’ the money from winnin’ the surfin’ contest Ah had mah boat rebuilt.”

He had enough room on that door to bring back both Rose and Jack

A+ for creativity!

When’s the next meteah showah?

That cat hangs in there!

SERIOUS QUESTION. Could someone please give The Count a simplified censorbot evading version of the website Wiley posted yesterday for the comic sale? The Count would be seriously interested. TYVM

Now explain how he still has the Anoesis.

It was the biggest trophy they had,

Worse case of crabs The Count has ever seen, Bouy Howdah. Well, not exactly seen, personally, but figuratively.

It would have been 10s all across the board if he was singing Beach Boys songs

Eddie now works as a commentator on a cable news network.

Look at that DOOR! There was room for both of you, Rose!

Well, stories like that make the ‘beer hour’ just that much more interesting. So it doesn’t have to be a true story, just entertaining and told with gusto.

Well, for the record it kind of started out with an opponent and a round thing crashing into something. From there on it’s pure entertainment. Still, I’d have to have Eddie for an eyewitness.

I have heard of the crab nebula, but never the nebula crab.

However, an astronomer who stares at the sky all night long could get pretty crabby.

The captain has a very loyal cat. What is its name?

Details, details…

I stopped reading at the accent

He won it in a “Bowling for Whoppers” contest in Oz.

LOL the name of his ship is ‘ANOESIS.’

Anoesis – the reception of impressions or sensations (by the brain) without any intellectual understanding.

And he escaped from ‘the dreaded nebyahlar crab’, a play on ‘crab nebula’.

Actually, the judges were grading Paulie’s ride in. Much higher degree of difficulty.

OK, I just HAD to look up “anoesis”: “a state of mind consisting of pure sensation or emotion without cognitive content” (Collins online)

Could be an Olympic Discus Trophy…

and the name of his boat is still legible!

Is that a reference to the Crab Nebula (Messier 1)?

Is no one going to mention the Crab Nebula? >

First time I get to see Eddi’s cat’s face in the twenty five years watching the comics, Amazing ain’t ?

Well, in that case, I guess it DOES look like a surfing trophy, by golly!

a lot more creative than "hey, bartender, it’s my birthday

Is no one going to mention the Crab Nebula? >

I mentioned it, up above your comment. So did Drummer54

I love Wells! Let’s go to Perkins Cove and snag a lobster roll!

10! 9.5! 10! And a 3 from the East German judge!
