Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 22, 2009
Transcript:
Homer: My plan to escape an attack by the murderous tribe-with-no-name worked... to a point. These were unfamiliar waters, and my lack of bearings for navigation was made worse by running into a powerful squall... as I fought to hold the old Viking ship together, fear gripped everyone on board... all except one... the tribe elder, who just calmly smiled and pointed to something off in the distance. I just needed to keep the ship afloat and follow Duncan back to a safe harbor. Duncan: Again! And you're welcome by the way... Angel: Ah, you kept your wits about you... that's a big step for you, Homer! Homer: The only problem was where there are seals, there are rocks... lots and lots of big rocks... Homer - the Reluctant Soul.

where there are seals there are rocks
… and the ship was really rolling in those waves.
Ow! What! Wha’d I say??

Should we declare Sundays a pun-free zone? Lest we be pun-ished for it?

Walmart.
I know, I know, off topic.

Easy Homer, If a rock punches a hole in the ship, just “Seal” it up.

An ancestor of Captain Eddie…???

Jon Sequitur, I just tried and had no problems at all making the edit and delete buttons in Chrome do what they should. Are you sure it isn’t something else?
OK then, I’m sure they’ll give you your money back.

Yah, that must be it. Something else.

Edible buttons? How do you work your computer after you’ve eaten them all?

I’ve been wondering: has God had a computer from the very start, or did he have to wait for humans to invent it?
ChazNCenTex about 15 years ago
Off the Homer-ous topic at hand, but if God’s using a computer, I hope he doesn’t need to reboot anytime soon.
mickchump about 15 years ago
God has no need of computers. We now have computers because of Him.
Wiley creator about 15 years ago
Just to clarify this again… the character at the computer is Bert, the counseling angel for Homer, not God.
Also, there will be a big announcement tomorrow!
GROG Premium Member about 15 years ago
The suspense is killing me. Now tomorrow can’t come fast enough.
madKanga about 15 years ago
On the Jesus and puns thing - I don’t think *he* would have had a problem - he even healed a child because her mother gave a smart answer to his initial refusal (the Syro-Phonecian woman, if I recall correctly)
madKanga about 15 years ago
Looking forward to tomorrow (this afternoon for me) - does that mean I get to know sooner?
Kaytebb about 15 years ago
I can’t look!!!
I love the Sunday story series. If you miss a week, it’s really easy to go back and pick it up by clicking on the calendar above the comic. Somebody was complaining about that last week. Eash…
And Wiley, please don’t let the announcement be that you’re retiring!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! What would this world be without Danae, Capt. Eddie and Obvious Man?!
spok27 about 15 years ago
Going back to yesterday, if you want to read more clever word play, may I recommend Jasper Fforde, Robert Rankin, Christopher Moore, and of course, Terry Pratchett.
MatureCanadian about 15 years ago
Can’t wait for next week as it is and now tomorrow too! Argh! Great art Wiley, thanks.

I heard that Calvin Klein is going to combine it’s two most famous perfumes. “Obsession” and “Eternity”. They’re calling it “Obscenity”…
keenanthelibrarian about 15 years ago
Now that’s a perfume I’d buy.
nonsequitous about 15 years ago
“Obsession” … “Eternity” … “Obscenity”
They’re hoping for better luck than when they bought Perry Ellis’ Reserve and combined it with Obsession.
Not much they could do but sit there and watch their stock prices tank on that one.

Australia; too cool for your Sunday comics. Alas.
At least we get your weekday ones half a day early.
ProBonoPublico about 15 years ago
And yes, Wiley is right. Tomorrow will be a deliciously interesting announcement.
Almost unbearably so.
Wiley creator about 15 years ago
Please, no proselytizing here. This is comics forum, not your church.

Sorry, I won’t mention the dead chickens again. But honest, we put ‘em to good use. Fried to a golden brown, just like my momma used to make on Sunday afternoon after chur-
Sorry.
Umm…. how ‘bout them Patriots, eh!
What? No, that’s football, not politics!
Umm…. my favorite color is red. No! Blue! Oh, what a state I’m in. White! Argh! Plaid!
Okay, I admit it! I’m Sco’ish and Proud!

Its your church - er .. forum - so we should abide by your rules, Wiley (although a little bit of religious debate *is* fun…)
Abida3x7 about 15 years ago
It takes guts to share your beliefs … . and your chicken! Man, I do love a good chicken … and having a personal belief system ain’t too shabby either. The way I see it, both keep you healthy and are great stuffed and baked!

Wiley:This story has ‘BOOK’ written all over it. Please Don’t retire. We’ve lost so much Calvin, Hobbes, Foxtrot is Sunday only Now my local paper stopped Valient. I will TOON in Tomorrow.
madKanga about 15 years ago
kristi - does that mean your beliefs are stuffed and (at least half) baked? (sorry, the devil made me do it :-))
Abida3x7 about 15 years ago
Jon - You are lucky I’m addicted to YouTube. Kudos!
madKanga - I assure you that my beliefs are either fully baked or hard core and raw. No in between. ;)
vasgar1 about 15 years ago
to all the halfwits on here bringing their political and religious diatribe: with all due respect, GO AWAY. This is a cartoon people, not a forum for you to spout. If you want to spout go to Doonesbury or State of the Union and argue all you want, but please, please, leave those of us who just want to laugh about the comic alone.

Drumstick?

Punning authors: Harry Harrison’s “Bill the Galactic Hero”– the original, not the crummy sequels.
Paraphrasing: “Bill kept his extra cash in a toy rubber cat he found, and bit by bit the kitty grew.”
yyyguy about 15 years ago
piers anthony’s first couple of xanth books. when they had interesting plots and weren’t just an excuse to string puns together.
Abida3x7 about 15 years ago
I appreciate the drumstick!
I was under the impression that we were spouting our fowl beliefs (haha, get it?), not our individual political and religious stances. I’m having fun … why get uptight?
Now I’m hungry. :(
