Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 05, 2012

Mine ended when I discovered there were other people…

I’m a guy, and when I go shopping, I walk briskly to the item I need and walk briskly to the sales register. My only problem is other people…They’re walkin’ down the isles slowly, like they’re in a park or something, and gabbin’ and just plain getting in the way!

Now, if I’m in a sporting goods store, or a decent hardware store on a Saturday morning, that is appropriate behavior…

— Quite Contrary!

He must be around the corner from Ballard Street

Looks like his suit is a little to airtight!

Just wait until he finds out about flesh eating bacteria!

He looks like he’s been watching too much Star Trek.

Every spring, you can count on it. That’s why I live somewhere it rains 300+ days a year.

dragon: Two words, radioactive pollen!

Oak trees and pine trees have sex this time of year and you have to deal with it.

Wearing that suit with a brief will get you cavalier attention.

If trees are having sex that means I’m breathing…Oh yuck!

I had a Cavalier attitude…. until it rusted out.

@richardelguruWell said, gasp, mutant bees, gasp, attacking, gasp… hail falling out, gasp, cough, cough, hack, no time to, gasp, tellllllllllllll aargh!

GRUESOME AIN’T IT?

Look like Larry’s been hanging with the folks on Ballard Street

The problem is that everyone is packing pistils these days.

I was just about to make the same observation. The emblem should be the biohazard warning symbol, not the radioactivity warning symbol. To give a benefit of doubt, perhaps Wiley Miller knew better but decided more people would be familiar with the radioactivity symbol. Or perhaps the radioactivity symbol was easier to draw and more distinctive than the biohazard symbol.

@Alabama_Al, @DragonTBeing so picky about a freakin’ comic strip is absurd! Plus, you both beat me to it.

Oak, pine, beech, maple, dogwood, etc etcHe must live in Atlanta! (we beat the record this year — pollen count above 9400!)

pollen count? no kidding. normal is around 100 (according to the weatherman) we’ve been over 4000. generic benedryl w/headache relief, here I come.

tree sperm all over my car. porch. lawn chairs.

used car dealer down the street, sign: “Military Spring Special!! Free pollen included with every purchase!”

Larry needs to be more careful…he left his front door open!

The invisible pollen is what causes your health issues, but we see the larger pollen and blame it. The large pollen acts as a warning that the nasty stuff is after us, so be thankful when you see puddles of pollen.

As one UK visitor said— Atlanta was the only place on earth were cats turned yellow in the spring.

Is that a soviet-era surplus suit?!

We have snow mixed with our pollen this morning, and the crocus may croak, well, they’re tough, ain’t no pansies!

dats nothing to sneeze at…..

Too bad it is a radiation suit, not a biohazard suit?

@Peabody-Martini: Doesn’t help. I live in the Seattle area. Still gasp and wheeze when spring arrives.

Ah, hayfever. The surest sign spring is here. Even though the temperature is below freezing.

It’s all fun and games until the world is overrun by giant, mutated pollen spores…

radioactive larry

It’s an allergy inducing jungle out there!

You’re getting doused with tree sperm!

Who knows what this means?

Maybe that’s why Wiley used a “Radiation Hazard” symbol!
