Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 30, 2009

while the drums beat, don’t be afraid. When the drums stop, BE VERY AFRAID! Because then is the dreaded BASS SOLO

Women know that one can date anyone, but never the drummer!

His name was Mongo, he played the bongos, better than anyone this side of the Congo…..

After you’re finished with Mongo, make sure to send him back to Rock Ridge. Anyone who didn’t get that needs to watch “Blazing Saddles.”

You can’t tie a bongo player down!

Beans…!

married a drummer - still together after 26 years,

Edcole1961, if you gotta explain’m….

Drummer: a guy that likes to hang around musicians…..

Mongo, the bongo player from Tobongobongo? Seems I met that guy once. I believe it was in the Congo.

pearland peach, whos sittin’ where now? your shot glass is in the second panel. ah, what do you call a drummer without a girlfriend? homeless. ta dump dump.

Mongo just pawn in game of life, edcole…

Mongo straight.

Mongo like chocolate…

What do you call a drummer who just broke up with his girlfriend?

Homeless.

Don’t forget Mongo Jerry … In the summertime when the livin’ is fine . .

The comments are just as funny as the strip! Thanks, Wiley and folks…

How do you know there’s a drummer at your door?

The knocking keeps getting faster, and he never knows when to come in.

Ba-dum!

What do you call a drummer in a three-piece suit? The defendant. HAH!

Why did the drummer cross the road? Who cares, it got him off the stage! Ithankew!

Not - I resemble those remarks

Actually they are kinda

try the veal and don’t forget to tip the waitstaff

And the beat goes on….

Ouch! Cap’n Eddie been busted again.

Alex Karras’ character in Blazing Saddles was Mongol, not Mongo. Still one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen, especially the campfire scene….. Beans, beans, they’re good for the heart……..

I’ll tell you why I wanna dance It ain’ de sweetness in de music~ I like de sweetness in de music. But that ain’ why I wanna dance. It’s sumpin’ thumpin’ in de bass, A bumin’ underneath de music Is all I need To start me off. I don’ need nuthin’ else to start me off.

Beat out dat Rhythm on a drum…

Do only Mandy Patinkin and I remember “Carmen Jones?”

Not according to IMDB. It’s Mongo.

It was Mongo, and the joke was when he rode into town the citizen yelled “Mongo! Santa Maria.” For all you jazz fans out there.

What’s the difference between a drummer and a large pizza? A large pizza can feed a family of four!

If Wiley ever decides to make a movie of this arc, he can call it “Dumb and Drummer”…

Why is a drum machine better than a drummer?

You only have to punch the rhythm in once…

Apologies to my son, an AMAZING drummer.

He sells encyclopedias.

No, seriously, you’ve been a great audience.
