Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 01, 2023

The Gleaner’s at the door. . . .

No thanks, I already gave at the office.

Bad boy bad boy watcha gonna do he’s coming for you

Maybe this is the “Grim I’ll Take Goulash” guy.

“Dear, it’s for you”

Choked to death on cheap treats?

The car warranty. Has it expired?

Methinks Barry may have reached EOL.

I saw this ad. It means his fridge is dying, right?

Barry: These is someone at door for you dear.

“You are required, Barry .. mehhh ehhh heah!!”

He ate the Salmon Mousse didn’t he?

Monty!! Ha-Ha!

This is NOT just a Grimm fairy tale. Or the Neighbor asking for his WeedWhacker.

Before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point.

Answer me one question.

Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they

shadows of things that may be, only?

HOA wants to talk to you about your lawn.

“I’ve got all night… you don’t.”

Did you actually give out all the Halloween candy last night, or did you make sure to buy plenty (because you don’t want any little goblins to be disappointed)? And has Barry finished all of his today… Which might explain the sugar-induced vision in front of him.

“Helen, someone’s here to see your mother.”

This is one of the reasons it’s not a good idea to open your door if a stranger knocks.

maybe it’s just the ghost of Christmas past

He’s not reflecting in the mirrors. Or they’re very cheap art.

Weeeeeeelllllll the Day of the Dead starts tomorrow and the Grim Reaper is getting a head start

Now there’s a cheerful way to start the day.

I had one little trick or treater last night give me a cheery “See you tomorrow night!” Better keep a couple of pieces of candy on hand just in case…

It was the salmon mousse.

He’s there for any leftover full-size candy bars. Dark chocolate. Very dark chocolate.

Somebody’s knockin’ at the door, somebody’s ringing the bell

Do me a favor and open the door ‘n’ let ’em in.

And then you can get your Wings reference.

It would be just perfect if Barry were a life insurance agent.

Ah. death by chocolate

Give him a full-sized Snickers! (idea taken from a popular cartoon)b

Redd Panda’s Thought for Today

As a well spent day, brings happy sleep, so life well used, brings happy death. Leonardo da Vinci

Halloween is officially over. Don’t even think about Thanksgiving, the stores around here have begun to put out the Easter candy.

“We’re doing new windows in a house in the neighborhood and wondered if you’d like an estimate.”

There’s someone here to see you Dear

Well…today is the Day of the Dead…

Swing low sweet chariot, comin for to carry me home….bye bye Edna!

Nope, sorry. The scythe wielder is definitely pointing straight at Barry—not at Dear, dear, Helen’s mother, or anyone else.

I guess it wouldn’t do to just quickly close the door.

He wants my shirt?

Barry ate too much of the Halloween candy himself.

You thought the guy dressed as the grim reaper at the party was fake. Surprise! Probably a good time to check out; when you’re having a good time

It was the salmon mousse…

Where’s Binky?

“HELLO, BARRY”

Not the lawn guy either is it, Barry? Exit stage left.

November 4th and 5th Comic Con—Providence,Rhode Island

Barbara(I DREAM OF JEANNIE) Eden will appear—-age 92.

Well, today is the “dia de la muerta” …

Yet another Halloween with no kids coming by. I did swing by the store this afternoon for some half-price bags of candy to refresh my stash. I have a daily “chocolate snack” of two fun-sized bars. Today will be a 100 Grand and a Kit Kat.

Death has a hard time being taken seriously this week.

Dia de Los Muertos – The Day of the Dead. It’s not for Sissies.

Speaking of “A Christmas Carol”… probably one of my all-time favorite lines (made all the more entertaining because our daughter is deathly allergic to the things…) has to be, “Marley’s face. It was not in impenetrable shadow as the other objects in the yard were, but had a dismal light about it, like a bad lobster in a dark cellar.”

I mean Mr. Dickens… what exactly does a “bad lobster” do in a dark cellar?
