Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 18, 2023

Curse the Bligh-ter!

Maybe it’s just a stern warning?

Looks like a plank in his platform. Of course, it could be a planck constant.

…or a lower court.

The second pirate cartoon today.

He ignored the FBI WARNING about pirating copyrighted video recordings.

Or was it working for a call center and calling someone on the do not call list?

Looks like the forecastle defense didn’t work …

just Kidding.

don’t think it worked out well for him though. :J

I guess we all go to a higher court eventually. I just hope I’m not wet when I get there…

Nothing personal, Herb. We just need the bunk space.

I imagine he made a deposit on the poop deck.

Neptune has a court?

It’s not a plank, it’s a springboard.

“I saw them steal those strawberries, but they fought me at every turn”

I sincerely hope the most famous criminal defendant in America today loses all his appeals to a higher court, so we can get on with the administration of justice. There’s a reason why we have the phrase “Justice delayed is justice denied.”

Oh my goodness! this was the 1st comment to get my out-loud laugh in a long time.

THREE TIMES I tried to wipe the few dark spots in the open space to the right of the characters. Finally I just scrolled down and saw that it’s drawn in, and not on my computer screen. It’s early morning and I’ve only had a sip of coffee…

1.)Man carrying crate of soda bottles—“I’m taking my case to court!”

2.)Same man carrying a ladder—“I’m taking my case to a higher court!”

3.)Same man carrying empty coat hanger—“I lost the suit!”

we can only hope

Winning his appeal didn’t do him any good since the captain is also the judge. The outcome will be the same.

so appealing

He shouldn’t have made the joke about the Captain’s peg leg.

HA! Beautiful drawing. Love the splashy courtroom!

If he floats, he’s guilty.

It’s sure done him a lot of good, hasn’t it?

Looks like Earl Pickles.

Groan.

Yeah, but he has to work his way through the lower courts first.

Always look on the bright side of life!

I hope he used the poop deck before going swimming.
