Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 10, 2009

Just add water… Oh Noah!

Noah and Moses?

“Voopa, voopa, ding”.

Look out! Here comes Jonah!

Funny how much water gets involved in the Exodus story. The moral must be to not wish too hard for what you want …

Yes, Noah and Moses. Caption says, the Condensed Bible. Like a mash-up. Should work out, Moses can part the flood, and Noah can take the tablets (there’s 2 of them) on the ark.

NoBrandName, truly funny.

The first cruise ship.

An old trick question in Sunday School was, “How many of each animal did Noah take on the Ark?”

I think the problem was no one praying for it to STOP raining.

How long can you tread water?

OK, now I’ve got to go dig out my old Cosby albums…..

dsmo8, wasn’t the “trick question”, “how many of each animal did Jonah take on the ark?” Maybe I missed that class….or your point.

the ducks did it…..hence the term: good weather for ducks!

Hey, Hoolihan is in the house! Howdy Mr. Wells!

(fellow old timey Clevelander here)

In Michigan, it can snow for forty days and forty nights, no big deal….

Bob Wells, Jonah or Noah both work for the trick question. But the cartoon doesn’t have Jonah in it. But Wiley could help out crunkbot by adding a whale! There are a lot of other “water” images that could be added from the Bible, but this is “Non Sequitur,” not a theology forum.

I like this toon. All it needs is for bad-luck-magnet JOB to float by on a raft.

dsom8, so what’s the answer?

Yeah, man, did JOB get screwed or what?

A big OOPS! for me, Winnie. It appears I fell for my own trick quiestion.

The question is supposed to be “how many did Moses (or Jonah) take?”

And the hoped-for answer is “2,” which earns the reply “Wrong! Moses (or Jonah) didn’t build the ark, Noah did!”

Better I should go back to work!

@DD FENCE EMET: should i change my name? also, the only commandment i try to follow is the “Golden Rule.”

Sad that people can not just enjoy humor for the sake of humor.

This is a cartoon and not meant to be a commentary on bible stories. Some of you need to get a life - and a laugh.

Hey, GP…I don’t normally comment on cartoons…too many thin-skinned folks out there. God forbid we would bring up His name…or His word. I made a comment on a comment, and got jumped on.

Good info Joe Allen. But have you ever noticed that the two ‘greatest commandments’ sum up the decalogue? The first four deal with God (yeah, I said it) and the last six deal with our ‘neighbors’.

JanCinVictorville: You have that old Cosby “Noah” album also? “No, who is it really?”

“Noah..” “Yeah?” “How long can you tread water?”

Betcha didn’t expect that reaction, eh, Wiley..?

But then there are three others ahead of me, so, yeah..

MsTXKitty, depends on how you define humor (or if one can in the first place). I for one LIKE this one. For me, Wiley always hits his mark; but some days are better than others. ps And how do you spell the “sawing” sound?: “sawing sound”, ding, “WHAT?!?!?!?!?

“What’s a cubit?’

okay who left the water running?

DGooseE: A cubit is 19-20 inches (more or less)

Thanks invisifan, I should have said “whatsa cubit?” I was referencing one of the lines from Cosby’s story of Noah.

One cubit equals two henways.

RIGHT!

My 33 1/3 album has disappeared into the mists of time, but I have ol’ Bill on CD now. Still just as funny as it was all those years ago.

yyyguy: “Scaramouche”? “The Crimson Pirate”?

micheal moore, all right I will bite. What’s a henway?

wndrwrthg: That joke is almost as old as I am - “What’s a henway? About 3 or 4 pounds”. (hen “weigh”)
