Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 24, 2012

Thrers one in every croud.

What is a lawyer doing in the Garden of Eden?

The story behind the story — I knew it had to be something like this.

…and we thought we knew what the oldest profession was.

There was a man in Pennsylvania who sued the Devil for ruining his life. The Judge dismissed the case since the defendant was not a resident of the State of Pennsylvania.

Kali39, I remember reading the judge’s opinion there when I was in law school. Among other observations, the judge noted that the plaintiff had failed to give the marshal instructions as to how to obtain service of process.

So you think our neighborhoods have a suer problem? I could not agree more. Wake up, little Sue-Z?

Dogsniff, Sue Susan?..I don’t think so…….Ashburn, yes Baslim made me laugh right out of the chute! Anyway, I suppose there are pencils in Pennsylvania and Kens in Kentucky, (anatomically correct, I’m sure..), but I’m not sure how many virgins there are in Virginia……Used to be plenty of Massas, though…

Say goodnight, Gracie…Looks like Eve made Adam pick up all the empty pizza boxes and crushed beer cans from Sunday………

uhm…which one: women or lawyers?

I prefer to think that Katie Perry is the Image and likeness of God….

gmartin, just got divorced, huh?

I knew it wasn’t the form of a snake the devil took, it was something far more sinister.

Man fell from Grace and hit the floor running!!!

Why did God create lawyers in the first place?

I thought it’s because Adam told God “pull my finger.”

So the Fall From Grace was actually the beginning of the PC/Mac wars? A new twist on Original Sin.

Must be something about Apples and lawsuits, thinking of the long running series of lawsuits between Steve Jobs (Apple Inc) and the Beatles (Apple Records)

What were they doing up in a tree named Grace in the first place? It wasn’t even their tree! You see how forgiving God is…he didn’t smite the lawyer hip and thigh. That means there’s a chance I might not get smote…smited?…smitten?

The difference between a snake and a lawyer? Skid marks in front of the snake.

Yes, there’s one in every cloud.

Wow, seriously? He couldn’t get hurricane insurance in Florida? I had it for years when i lived there. I think it was more flood damage and wind damage insurance, but whatever. I had it, and I don’t think anyone would live there if they couldn’t get it. After my first hurricane down there, rates went up quite a bit. That was quite a while ago, though. I no longer live there so don’t know what changed, but with as many hurricanes as I’ve been hit by when I lived there, no way I would consider living there without.

This strip illustrats the now historical adage: Why don’t snakes (and sharks) bite lawyers? Professional curtesy.

Yeah….No women, no men. Only cats! :)

Interesting…

Lawyers are like nukes. Nobody wants them, but everyone needs them because the other guy has their own.

When I read the speech balloon before glancing to the right, I thought he was yelling at Steve Jobs…

Dammit, I accidently deleted my comment.

mythreesons, thanks! Guess I nailed it!

“But you did forget to mention that the lawyer’s fee is so steep, it requires an eternity to pay off…”

Actually, I dealt with that straight off. On a contingency case, if he wins he gets paid; if he loses he doesn’t. That’s why the lawyer’s cut of these sorts of awards is so big. One big victory has subsidize a lot of hopeless causes.

This strip has a richer, more detailed, wall-to-wall art look than other “Wiley posts.” As a long-time Wiley watch …I like it. AND, I collect cartoons that use Biblical references

Impossible. No lawyer could ever get into the garden of Eden.

What kind of damages could they get from God? Pennies from Heaven?

Several years ago I read a syndicated comic strip that featured a frog … can’t for the life of me remember the name of artists or the name of the strip … do remember that the art was very good and I believe that the artist was also a political cartoonist. Any one know?

Funny!

…and lo, thine serpent slithers free!

itś a funny—laff at it. yeesh.

The first mistake was the politician

Someone in Texas needs to try that now!
