Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 08, 2011

Tell him to blow the joint.

How dare you challenge my constitutional right to extreme laziness?!

Well, the leafblower guy is causing a disturbance, in that he’s blowing all the firewood into the water. But, our hero is a GUY, and GUY’s like their meat raw, so it should work out ok.

LOL

I wrote a science fiction story in which a crew of invading aliens are confronted by a fellow with a leafblower and surrender because it looks like a plasma cannon to them.

Not the best comic I’ve seen today.

This strip is EXCELLENT. What would put me even more over the top is if the guy had a dog and no bags! I would throw them both to the sharks!

This is probably the cartoon you draw if, while trying to draw a cartoon, you are disturbed by the constant whine of leaf blowers in neighbor’s yards. All those errant leaves being herded into piles, just use a mulching lawn mower and chew them up and spread them over your lawn, free fertilizer.

Cannabalism?…..No…….Murder? maybe…..

‘Wilson’ is a much better fellow maroon partner. he never makes noise , he doesn’t eat anything and he never argues*.*think Tom Hanks

When I was in school, the guys with the leafblowers were out and working at 6:30 AM. This is justifiable homicide, believe me!

Same when I was in an apartment complex. Grounds crew would always be out blowing off the parking lot. Made absolutely no sense when the ground was wet and the leaves wouldn’t move no matter how long they spent on them.

I’ve actually seen the “Extreme” version of this sport – an idiot balancing on the roof of his house, using a leaf blower to clear the roof of leaves!

long-pig “sushi”?

They use leaf blowers at my apartment complex and on campus. The sidewalks are clean, but there’s so much grit and exhaust in the air I can hardly see or breathe! Not to mention the noise! Hire a few more people and give them brooms. Helps the economy and my quality of life. Or you could just leave the leaves alone…

Nightshade09 We have to get on our roof and blow HEAVY accumulation of leaves off or else it backs water under seams and leaks.

My dad spent some time on and island named Pavuvu in the Russell Islands in WW2. It was a copra plantation. Until they got the dead palm leaves and dead coconut logs picked up and burned, they had a land crab infestation that made life there very miserable. I can bet that a bunch of Marines would have loved to have a few leaf blowers back then.

A leafblower before 8 a.m. is grounds for a lynching.

Check “Free Range” and “Off the Mark.” Today is apparently Desert Island Day among the artistes…

I remember a news article when Ashleigh Brilliant (Pot-Shots) got in a scuffle with someone wielding a leaf blower. It gets even the most unlikely people riled up.

My neighbor kid’s grandparents got him a leaf blower. I’d be sort of peeved upset but the kid likes to use it so much, he does my yard too…

He has a leaf blower but no life raft?

PapaJohn84 says: Don’t knock it, he found a job and is happy to have it. Criticize the bum sitting on his behind just bitching.

Satan’s assistants use the leaf blowers to fan the flames of hell, making it hotter for all those sinners.

At last, I find an exception to my practice of vegetarianism! Wiley must live in my beautiful, tree-filled neighborhood. Most fall afternoons around here, it’s like someone brought in a dentist’s drill the size of the Space Needle.
