Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 05, 2023

See today’s BC

Are you going to install indoor plumbing for it or are you going to wait for it to chew through your water pipes?

Wait until she finds the moonshine still.

Seems like a nice mouse, if I were to have a mouse I’d like it

A city mouse would’ve sued them to put in decent plumbing and air conditioning.

Maybe it is the twanging of a banjo? /s

Wow! I thought it was the tRump Presidential Library!

Best laugh all day!

The only cat to be seen is in a display frame.

And it’s a girl mouse!

The moon on the door gives it away. Boys have stars. The full explanation will have to wait, since I don’t want to muck up a COMIC strip with not-funny stuff.

i used an outhouse every summer, all summer long in my youth

just a wild guess here… :p

Because she hears banjo music?

That is adorable

I suppose in the old days it was a pretty luxurious thing to leave the house to poop in out house instead of pooping …..where? A chamber pot? In the bed room? …like city folks?

Those long johns and suspenders were a dead giveaway

The mouse’s favorite film is LAS VEGAS HILLBILLIES

Live in the country, killed a rat last night, because they use wherever they have been crawling on, instead of out houses.

Do you think it has TP inside?

HA! Beats finding droppings in the pantry!

Country mouse or not, it’s carpentry skills are awesome!

The only structure of this sort that I’ve seen outside of a L’il Abner cartoon was outside a gas station in rural Georgia in 1970. It was boarded shut and the sign above it read, “Colored.”

That’s when all those newscasts I saw on the everting news in the 1960’s started making sense.

Does Wiley talk to the B.C. cartoonists? They both have outhouse gags today.

I wonder why I got a bill from “Andy Gump”…

Great movie about the “ridge runners” who delivered the “shine”, out running the revonooers along the back roads. Starred Robert Mitchum, who also wrote and sang the title song. Little known fact is that most of the early drivers and pit crews of the fledgling NASCAR races were the moonshine runners who knew how to get the most out of their engines. “Thunder was his engine, and white lightning was his load.”

I was reminded of a line from “Beetlejuice” “Oh look an indoor outhouse.”

It’s got to be the banjo music coming out of the mouse hole. And they appear to go outside to poop, too. Well, about as ‘outside’ as a mouse would want to go, I guess.

My local newspaper carries Non Sequitur and when I read it in there, I couldn’t see the outhouse clearly so I didn’t get the gag.

I’m sure Jeff Foxworthy would have fun with this.

Oh, if ONLY rats would use a privy!
