Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 22, 2011

Draw!

Congress should function so well.

Wiley is one of the few cartoonist to draw his characters with five fingers (or four fingers and a thumb). Wonder why.

There’ll only be one of you in the end.

the mediator better progress to ducking real soon.

I see… So the commencement of hostilities is progress. I believe I see a Fatal Flaw in her reasoning.

This could get messy here.

Shoot the mediator and then go to a saloon have have a beer together.

Take a Holliday, Doc.

Looks like the NFL or NBA negotiations.

Sounds like congress. Yup we are making progress here!!!

Reminiscent of the current postal strike going on in Canada right now.

^ I hope they use a better mediator — I want my mail! (What little I get…)

How did OK Corral get into it? The Clanton/Earp battle took place in a vacant lot next door to C.S. Fly’s photographic studio. Real western flavor there!

Fly was also an early photojournalist and took a lot of news photos in that era, including Crook’s negotiations with Geronimo in Mexico – with glass plate negatives in the wilderness no less.

Congressmen?

DF – Too bad we aren’t allowed to “Fire ’em all” anymore with so many people out of work. Just kidding, but do get fed up whining of the employed! At least they have money coming in and probably fantastic benefits! Pardon the rant.

Loved the strip Wiley. Thanks.

hubris is the downfall of so many men

Maybe we DO need to go back to “Hamilton-Burr Conflict Resolution”. It would be interesting to see how many “hawks” would turn dove if facing the wrong end of a barrel— themselves.

The gunfight wasn’t all that Hollywood makes us believe. I think DoC Holliday also had a rap sheet.

Irving.Big, fat Irving.Big sissy Irving.The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West..

A hundred and forty-one could draw faster than he,But Irving was looking for one forty-three.Walked into Sol’s Saloon like a man insane,And ordered three fingers of two cents plain.

Ballets, not bullets…..

Clever strip… Thanks, Wiley!

If “pro-” means “going forward”, and “Con-” means “to go backwards”, It’s GOTTA make you wonder about Progress and Congress…

Looks like a couple of soverign citizens to me. They want to control the town without assuming the responsibilities involved in owning the town.
