Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 25, 2009

“How you going to keep Danae down on the Earth once she has seen…”

I don’t think they want to get Dana-saur about not going.

er… Danae sore… what was I thinkin?

I predict tomorrow’s strip is going to invlove Jeffrey trying to convince Danae she can’t come, while Danae ignores him completely… mainly because on various occasions I have been both sides of this argument.

I am tired of this Martian and Danae. Boring.

May not need to worry about that wndrwrthg–she’s not unlikely to be foolish enough to want to do close-up photo of raptor, Allo or T-rex (though from-inside is not exactly the best perspective, it certainly is close-up).

Looks like it’s up to Lars to “disuade” Danae. Jeffrey looks too much like a smarter version of Charlie Brown - wishy-washy.

Only way to dissuade Danae is to suggest the trip will be long and boring without any life threatening challenges or snacks.

Fun storyline, Wiley.

danae, give him a passionate kiss and then he’ll beg you to come on!

Danae is actually excited about something Jeffrey is doing.

What a loss to Lars fans everwhere that would be, Wiley Genius.

If only calvin was here. He’d just love to meet a REAL dinosaur!

Oh no! Danae’s already packing her bags.

Actually, you can meet a real dinosaur, or at least a descendant of one: just go outside and find a bird…

Joe Pyle, meet your future son-in-law….

Hi pookid! Waiting for what?

isn’t there some lost world that Basil visited with dinos?

i don’t think so. i first saw it while reading Mad Magazine. if i remember correctly it was a way of expressing shock! kind of like saying “holy @%#*&$%” without the cusswords. i also found two more of my favourite euphemisms there - rigafrutch and fershlugginer - as in, “When in doubt, rigafrutch the fershlugginer thing!”

I want one of those hover bowls!!

“Potrzebie” is a form of the Polish word for “need”. It was spotted by Mad’s founding editor, Harvey Kurtzman, in the instructions for a bottle of aspirin. Kurtzman felt the word would be a great running gag for the magazine.

BC- Lars should go help Charlie Brown with his powers of dissuasion as well as Jeffrey.

I want a hover bowl too.

/ What kind of propulsion floats Lar’s ???????????

Also, does he have any “SuperPowers” ??????

Only his rational intellect, I suspect - just like we all would if only we would use it.

Got a late start… I’m with doctortoon on a Lars Fan club:D Had to work a bit on the Avatar don’t have a program that ca get the comment line out , but did put Wiley’s Logo there :}

stervogel has added to my education with his response. thanks. i knew i’d seen it in Mad, but didn’t know where they got it from. as for the name EMET, it also has stooge connotations from my ball hockey playing days (4 guys doing curly impressions on a team where i was the captain made me the straight man for the gags). i’ve always liked the pun value and contemplated using it as a license plate for a while.

@alife, all: Try XNView, at xnview.com, available for WinDoze, MacOSX, Linux, etc. Simple to rather complex editing and I/O in several image formats, as well as viewing. Not PhotoShop nor Gimp (one layer), but useful. It may be all you need for a quicky. (Use save as early, before doing anything drastic).

Thanks pbarnrob!!
