Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 30, 2011

This is so real it’s scary! [shudder]

Hmm – the cat’s not interested…

Is that Captain Eddie’s cat?

Therefore I get increasingly fatter…

I’m not sure how this cartoon is existential. “I think, therefore I am” was first posited by Rene Descartes long before existentialism came along.

The new “Chair Potato”.

Yes but blogging obviously gives meaning to his life. Possibly sole meaning to his life.

Kali, the cat is, therefore he is….

Is this his mother’s basement?

That is so real. Does he have time for anything else?

Wiley holds up the mirror to posters and bloggers.out!

I love that the room looks like it’s floating in a lightly clouded sky.

To make it even more realistic, that appears to be a college diploma hanging on the wall by the door.

Nothingness outside the door – cool man! The cat’s checking it out.

What else you going to do with a 600 lb disabled government worker?

Did this not become Rick Redfern’s motto after he got laid off from the newspaper?

There are lies, damn lies, and bloggers.

You don’t exist, you exist and then you don’t. Meaning is meaningless.

“Cogito Ergo Sum” Descartes is truly turning over in his grave.

love the “eye” pad… lol! great strip!

The new existentialist (with apologies to Ira Nayman above) has all the necessities of existence close at hand: a comfy chair, disgusting personal habits, a huge flat-screen TV, an ‘eyePad’, beer, chips, and a cat to ignore it all. What is posted on the blog doesn’t matter because nobody will read it. I suspect the ’mother’s basement’ comment (James) is right on the money.

The cat is not in the room. The room is of the man’s making, not the cat’s.

Is it an eye pad there?

Oh boy! Then I AM, too! What a confirmation!

Say it ain’t so…

I’m incapable of thought, but I vote?

Kitty doesn’t seem to give a rat’s behind…

OMG!

It’s ME!!!
