Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 10, 2009

He is dead right.

I bet he gets it now.

You’d think he’d have one of those coffins with a bell that could be rung from the inside, like Donald Sutherland snuck into the train in, in The Great Train Robbery.

could be a long wake

Bugsy Maroon…..you’re still carrying on about yesterdays stirpe?! get a life, or better yet….from Foghorn “It’s a joke,Boy. I say, I say it’s a joke.

WoodEye -

Do you mean, “He -is- dead, right?”

Maybe it’s some kind of intervention by an extreme support group? Helping him get in touch with his Inner Corpse?

Bugsy Maroon….It is a comic strip, read it, enjoy it, and move on, simple eh? Long comments take up space, and have no relevance.

How do these things keep happening?!? Oh, now I get it…

bleeep bugsy. You are beginning to get on our nerves like certain other ramblers.

I figure those long rant-bles are for the typist’s entertainment, not ours.

Like glue.

Hey Bugsy, go lick a flag pole.

Whoa, getting nasty here. Let Bugsy type what he wants. You don’t HAVE to read everything that is posted. If you think Bugsy rambles on too much then no one is stopping you from simply skipping over it.

I think most men (and some women) are slow to understand their own mortality. How else would you explain the stupid stunts they pull?

I love Bugsy’s posts. He and WoodEye crack me up.

vexatron1984 said I think most men (and some women) are slow to understand their own mortality. How else would you explain the stupid stunts they pull?

As in those words heard more places than you want to think about-

“Hey-hold my beer and watch this!”

sorry, Bugsy, no little genius tag on your name tag means you aren’t a genius. but i did like the Foghorn Leghorn link the first time i saw it - and thought it funny and appropriate to all those who are overly critical of others. please don’t beat it to death. (and no, i did not read yesterday’s comments - so i AM taking this out of context. i look for humour, and this made me laugh. good enough - in my book.)

Bugsy - Do whatever you want. Sometimes you ARE funny, but remember “Brevity is the soul of wit”.

dotcomgirl - Thanks for the nice comment!

I get it.

And it scares me to death.

Now see, today’s strip is actually funny…

I likes ya Bugsy

Thanks, thing, but I’m not trying to make this, and do not want to see it turn into, a referendum. Everybody just please carry on as you were.

Howsomever: speaking as a long-time serious humble stoont of humor, starting with listening to Homer & Jethro & June Carter singing Baby It’s Cold Outside and I Never See Maggie Alone, live on the Grand Ole Opry on WSM at age four –

AFAIC, this page is first and foremost about Wiley’s wonderfully subtly sick twisted devious mind and what escapes from it on a daily basis, and secondarily, what escapes from ours.

If that means, to you, entertaining comments about People Taking Each Other Too Seriously, hey, I personally am all for it . My personal emphasis on entertaining. YMMV. Yes, I’m lecturing myself too.

e-comics online is a new art form, in a medium - the web, which is creating itself at a breathtaking pace, without any real boundaries that -I- can see, and I’ve been on it since it began in 1990.

Nobody has a patent on any of that. That’s the format.

We’re all here making it up as we go along. That’s the fun part.

Wiley’s the host, it’s his house. We’re his guests. He makes the rules, and administers the spankings That’s the protocol.

Just my $0.02. Oh, bleeep, now my 401(k) is completely drained.

And WoodEye, you’re right, thank you. Less is more. I should’n’a taken that high school touch typing class. Maybe I’ll cut off 5-6 fingers.

Brevity is also the soul of lingerie, according to Dorothy Parker.

sorry, Bugsy, no little genius tag on your name tag means you aren’t a genius

No, it means I’m too cheap to spring for 99 cents a month so I can read strips older than a week and a half, for which fee gocomics will officially anoint me a genius.

The only place in the world where you actually can buy a clue.

I love Bugsy’s posts. He and WoodEye crack me up

Thanks - that means a lot. I think Wowdy and me’d make a pretty good tagteam. D’ya think the WWEye is ready for us?

I really crack myself up sometimes too. Once I ROTFLMAO so hard I had to spend six months in traction. The weird thing is, it was all jokes I stole from Rodney Dangerfield.

Oh, dear! And how did we get to there from here?

Back to the comic - he’s now dead certain about his mortality.

Whatever kind of music you like, I love it too.

Please enjoy my two favorite playlists, Sentimental Journey and fatmanrock

Schmillson live is nice too if you like classic old pop music like As Time Goes By and What’ll I do.

Hope to hear from you.

PS: I once saw one of these up close in person

http://waterpics.net/Picture%20Red%20Headed%20Piliated%20Woodpecker.jpg

It was over a foot long, with not so much black more evenly black and white. Actually, I heard it before I saw it, and it was hard to spot in the woods, until I saw the head. Even that was hard to spot when it wasn’t hammering away at the tree, because other than then, it stayed completely still.

One of the most impressive birds I ever saw.

Except for Big, of course.

”W. T. everlovin’ F?!!” - curious george

I rest my case. Can’t even try to make this comics page even a little more like a user community than some of the readers want,

and take the trouble to do it after the next day’s strip has come out, so as not to bother anyone,

but what someone is still eavesdropping and thinking it’s their business to ask for my hall pass and my permission slip that says I can post about you tube and impressive Big Birds.

Time to find another strip where the inmates don’t think they run the asylum.

That is W T everlovin’ F

F it. You don’t like it, be happy. You and your miserable ilk have succeeded in running me off.

Be happy.

@Bugsy: take a look over at Pibgorn; among the first (of way too many comments; a well-loved toon) is a ‘boilerplate’ post, including The Old Wolf’s Guide to GoComics Styles (some of which work better/more frequently than others).

And please take note of, quote- (No trolls need apply.) Please do not feed the cuisine-challenged bridge substructure symbionts. Just flag them. -unquote.

FWLIW, I’ve enjoyed your posts. But there should be a clean way to make contact 1-2-1, so some chats (perhaps of a longer, more personal, nature) could take place off the party-line. Haven’t seen that yet at UClick. Someday? Without stalker hazards?
