Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 06, 2009

And clearly, neither does Wiley.

Keep up the good work! Especially the byte mark. Makes insomnia almost worth it.

— (first post oboy oboy oboy)

So how did it knock on the door with those stubby little arms?

Hopefully it was a poison apple… er, infected McIntosh.

Big long dangerous tail. Danae’s lucky it was such a polite dinosaur and only knocked. It would seem you never saw Jurassic Park, which means I get to inflict these on you, my little victim.

What do you call a blind dinosaur? D’ya-think-he-saurus

What do you call a blind dinosaur’s dog? D’ya-think-he-saurus’ Rex

Hey Jon, Frank and Ernest is to the left of you!!

Wait a minnit! I paid for a ticket to Tabongo Bongo Island, and I wanna hear Cap’n Eddie’s story! Whaddya mean Flo has him tied up in the closet and no refunds? mumble kindofa bleeeeep ToonTown crabshack is this anyway mumble

I’m picturing Danae, Lucy, Calvin, and Hobbes in after-school detention The kids are having a conversation about the Wrongs inflicted On Them By Unjust Teachers and The Failed Public Educational System, but mostly the relative merits of dinosaurs eating your computer vs. being kidnapped by hideous aliens who absorb your homework directly through their ooze-dripping paper-dissolving skin for nourishment. Or enlightenment about the human species.

Lucy and Hobbes are outside on the lawn, having a more intelligent and witty conversation than most in comic-dom

Which gives me an idea for Danae’s paparazzi fame. The two kids grow up, marry, and have a reality tv show - Dan & Cal + 2

A wascally old wabbit can dweam.

Someone should be sent to detention!

at least she didn’t say that the dog ate it.

at least she didn’t say that the dog ate it

She couldn’t - a while back she told her teacher that the T Rex ate the dog while going after her homework.

Nor did she say that Lucy ate it…but that would be no more believable. Remember the M.A.S.H. episode where the goat did eat the payroll? But they wouldn’t believe it either.

That is really not the way to pack smarts in that wee brain, gonna take a lotta work.

Joe-Allen, her eyes are open cause she’s only dreaming of having completed her homework. the whole story is dreamed up.nice work Wiley. love your dream world.nice touch on the skull.

Danae and Calvin have both missed out on the warp in the space-time continuum. The teacher has to believe that.

Jon, The name is Pearland Peach. I was hoping for funny, not ugly or mean. I love this and Frank&Ernest = love puns. was NOT trying for sniping. sorry you think so.

guess i should have said “one colum over on the left”; and that you would fit right in = a good thing.

Wiley, have you seen this Sunday’s “Housebroken”?

Seems you and him are on the same wavelength today..

well great minds think alike….and what are doing reading another strip?

Fortunately I never had this kind of travesty happen to me as a kid……but I do remember one time when a band of bullies accousted me and ran off with my report card.

If the teacher asks why Danae had to carry her laptop to answer the door, what wil the response be?

She has to press “Enter” on the keyboard.

well said aerwalt…lol

this looks like an old one to me….

Wait, what happened to Homer?

it is Pearland Peach. on my screen Jon’s remark has been deleted….it was not that bad….

nobody was nasty - just mis-understood .

I think students as creative as Danae would be a delight. A challenge certainly, but a delight.

By the way, I always thought it was, “P. Earl and Peach.” Now I feel better.

It happens. A pterodactyl ate an important report of mine once, so how can anyone doubt Danae?

Oh yeah, I forgot that Wiley wrapped up Homer’s tale last week. That’s fine by me though. I liked the story, but I’m looking forward to more strips with Danae and Eden before Eve, and hopefully bears on Sundays.

My childhood neighborhood was infested by Compsognathus dinosaurs. It was a rare day when they did not run off with some poor kid’s homework. I think they were lining their nests.

Hahaha! It’s a new “The dog ate my homework”

My brother once had to go to school with a report our sister’s cat had shredded and a note from our parents saying that the cat really had eaten his homework. His friends had a good time with that one.

I was much for the homework department, unfortunately I wasn’t much for the creativity department either, so the best excuse I usually came up with was… ummmm… well… I dunno. (except the time my dog almost did eat my homework)

“ILM ate my homework!”? That’s way too 90’s. Grow up! What’s your next excuse, “Snuffleupaguss ate it?”. Puh-leeze!

Welcome to the world of ”Catch 22” JOE!!

Joe, remember: just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean someone’s not out to get you.

Jon’s remark has been deleted….it was not that bad

I took it down, because I completely misunderstood your comment - I’m a little peckish because there are way too many self appointed moderators [1] in ToonTown, some of whom have come at me for being unfunny and off topic (as though satireless criticisms of others’ posts are ever either).

I just quietly deleted it, didn’t want to make any further fuss about it (frankly, I was embarrassed), but since it was noticed, my apologies for taking it out on you, Ms. Pear Landpeach. What a wonderful name.

Are you any relation to the Landshark that starred on SNL so many years ago? He was a funny guy (or gal, I don’t want to be sexist here, but with fishies, it’s hard to tell, and honest, with a big hungry shark, who wants to get close enough to … well, let’s just talk about something else, shall we?).

[1] Even Self-Appointed Pre-Moderators, fergawdsake. A recent post here, fairly well paraphrased, “and before anyone starts, there is no mention of politics here, so don’t blah blah blah …”

Just. shoot. me. now – No, wait! Shoot my computer! Not me! I have a big Colt 45 and I know how to use it, so just step off!!

someone called you “Pearl & Peach”

Wasn’t that a ’40s Grand Ole Opry act - ‘Peaches’ & ‘Cousin Minnie Pearl’?

Rod Brasfield, I’ll bet you fifty cents I can kiss you from way over here. Why, Cousin Minnie, you’re three feet away! Do you want to bet me or not? Well, okay. (She runs over and kisses him on the mouth.) See, I knew you couldn’t do it. And here’s your fifty cents!

Sarah Ophelia Colley . What a warm, wonderful, funny woman and genuine human being in every way.

Get ready to vote for your favorite caption tomorrow!

You could vote for your own -

“But that would be wrong!” - Pres. Nixon, speaking clearly and distinctly, directly into his desk lamp, President Richard M. Nixon’s White House Tapes

Joe, remember: just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean someone’s not out to get you

He says to Joe, fixing him with that unblinking Homeland Security Interrogation stare.

I just want to complement Wiley on the details in his artwork, especially panel #5. What an awesome house to live in: beautiful woodwork (complete with rosettes in the corners of the door molding); raised panel exterior doors; modern electrical (note the newer style light switches by the door). The only downside that I can see is the local wildlife.
