Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 23, 2011

^ We are watching you too.

Do I detect that the sleigh is about to become a Lazy-boy chair. Hey, wheres my beer?

Fed Ex? UPS?

This wouldn’t bother the Who’s in Whoville one bit. Christmas would come – with or without Santa.

Eddie, Eddie!!!!!!!!

I thought everyone carried a can of whale repellent. Just yesterday I saw a TV ad for “Whale Away”. It is also sold under the brand name “Orca No More a”.

Send everyone rein checks and spend the night at Flo’s dinner with a couple pitchers of extra strong nog.

(forgive the prose and rhyme in advance)….Santa knew just what to do,For the example had been set,Thanks Boehner, thanks Reid,This was a sure bet.

Thanks Obama and thanks Congress,We’ll move Christmas forward 2 monthsJust like our tax cut and unemployment,Christmas is on February 29th!

Its Poindexter the friendly non compartmentalized killer whale.

I was going to suggest fish sticks/// But the Treasury Department has stated that whales are to big to fillet.

What a great idea for this comic strip. Congrats, Wiley!

Oh no! It’s the evil 1% banking whale. Santa’s doomed! Just thought I’d throw a little political drama in there. ;-)

Awww, the look on Shamu’s face. He just wants to know what he’s getting for Christmas.

“BOOOOOOOORING!!!!!”

__Yes. Yes. You are VERY boring.

“I was going to suggest fish sticks/// But the Treasury Department has stated that whales are to big to fillet.”

__And… whales are not fish.

@BaileyAnd orcas are not whales

Come on, come on, I wanna know. (“Whale away…” that’s pretty good too!)

Please, please…what happens next?

I’m not flagging you! I find no offense in what you said!

Tune in tommorow and find out!

I am in suspenders!

Maybe Orcas can fly if they’re hitched to a sleigh!

Reindeer can Fly :- }

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, Everybody was stirring—calling Santa a louse.The elves shouted “UNION!!” and formed picket linesWith rude words to Santa scrawled on their signs.Mrs. Claus had left Hubby a note on the phone,“I am off to Tahiti—and I won’t be alone!”And the worst part of all (he suspected a trick)Was that Santa’s eight reindeer had all called in sick.Yes, Christmas was here, and Santa was irked;He felt used, abused, and much overworked.Then an angel came in, quite innocently,And the poor thing asked Santa, “Where should I stick the tree?”.And that’s why angels sit on the tops of Christmas trees.

Is it possible that UPS and FedEx will replace Santa, and avert the need for Eddie to save the day??

I think Eddie IS Santa. This sounds like one of his far-fetched tales.

I think that is Al Goreka or Michael Mooreka

damn! beat me to it.

The way that I understand it is that someone flags something and that puts it into a queue for someone at Gocomics.com to look at it. If they see that it is just a trolling comment (e.g.; pretty much anything by Sacqueboutier) or something containing language that is deemed offensive, or masked offensive language, then they are obligated to remove it. Someone obviously found your comment offensive due to what was said and/or the masked “naughty word” and flagged it, and someone at Gocomics.com agreed with them.(shrug) As you say, it’s done, get over it, move on :-)

This verse thing isn’t working out. Too long and too slow.

“Orcas are the largest of the dophins.”

__Dolphins (Dophins) are compact whales. Nicht wahr?

FWIW? I think the whale (!) is cute and is trying to help.

For Santa he knew the way was not hard, he lives in Seattle, He has his ORCA Card! (Injoke for Puget Sounders)

keep it up dude. YOU have MY seal of approval. i’m jealous. i wish i was as sharp. : )

I’m with Overton and the rest. Coming up with clever comments is not my forte, but reading them helps keep me sharp. You’re quite the cunning linguist, do you have any ladies that would agree?

My post about good government was not addressed to you, but I’m glad you liked it?! I’ve never flagged anyone here, and never really considered doing so, so if something of yours got nuked, it wasn’t on my account. My copy of the Constitution has a First Amendment just before the all-important Second one, which is the only thing keeping the Constitution in place… and I know what they both mean.

Not a hooded seal, I hope. I just calls ‘em as I sees ’em, whether I agree or not. If I don’t support your right to say what you want to say, I have no right to express my own thoughts, do I? There can be no progress without dialogue, and it’s only when ideas are surpressed that society suffers. Just a thought from a retired plumber; besides, I enjoy your comments.

What, reality is politically biased? Stating that foreclosures have gone up in the last year reeks of political intent? If Wiley had wanted to make a political comment, he would have made an accusation as to WHY the foreclosures are up. Simply presenting a fact (“houses have been foreclosed this year”) is politically neutral.

I think Wiley has seen the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special. Flying sharks! , er, orcas!

Why is everyone so serious today?… I must have missed something pretty bad yesterday.. Well, let’s breathe and move on, and I totally agree about the whole “thought police” thing, I personally liked James’ comment, since when did we all start censoring people so insanely?… His thoughts reflected my own, I find the political stuff funny, I mean the mention of the geese w/ it’s head in the sand on the global climate change made me think that this should replace out that children’s book… This makes me sad that you guys are fighting, relax, pass the (nonalcoholic) eggnog, I think Santa’s makeshift boat is gonna be “tugged” by the whale… (That’s my idea anyways…).

hee hee hee…glad you guys liked the poem…but in the name of full disclosure, the idea came from one of Shelli Sonstein’s dirty jokes of the day, back when she and Jim Kerr were with WPLJ in New York..And if you don’t remember when Kerr and Sonstein were on WPLJ, I don’t recommend that you mention that in my presence. I really don’t. ;-)

yes … except for the “rein” checks" LOL

Well below your normal standards; lacking in creativity and imagination. I give it a d minus. You could use some Christmas spirits. sir. Try Killamore Dew neat.

I was replying to muck, not initiating it. And unless businesses are fully automated, they have people… who have rights. It’s like saying a football team has no rights.
