Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 22, 2012

The other thing, never would have gotten past the go-comic censors!

Now if he’s really creative, after he finishes “the fist,” he’ll mount the finger on a base of it’s own, and have two sculptures to sell!

Could pretend it is the “s” for ASL (american sign language) and make a few more to spell out a pleasant word or two.

Why, it’s Jerry Garcia’s hand!

I didn’t realize Detroit needed a spare.

Good recovery.

Soon it will be “The Palm”.

give her the finger…

Could be a powerful and defiant salute, if you look at it on the darkside.

Its always what you don’t see that shouts to loudest.

@sculptor

The detached digit needs be delivered to Daddy Big Bucks’s campaign committee HQ at the earliest opportunity.

@Linguist

Have been , and continue to be a contributor to VVAW.You guys who were there deserve the greatest of respect.

@Linguist

Personally knew a few of the guys whose names now appear on The Wall.

Reminds me of: A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word.

Does this mean that nothing is graven in stone anymore?

@Dale Hamilton

Thanks for the memory.

@Linguist

Also have the greatest respect for those on the other side.They just wanted to live,too.40 years on,the U.S. is just now shelling out a few bucks to clean up the Agent Orange deposits.VC and regulars don’t have a Wall, either, to my knowledge.South Vietnamese planes dropped the napalm on Trang Bang. Kim Phuc was underneath.Years later she met the pilot who dropped the napalm on her village and forgave him.

Thanks go to Kim Phuc and Nick Ut, the photographer who took the picture of Kim’s burned body running along Route 1 and helped to bring the whole thing to an end.

@Dale Hamilton

The bird has been known to lead to few violentexchanges along our nation’s highways and byways.

Now we know how the fickle finger of fate came about.

Nick Ut’s photo of Kim Phuc on Route 1 will haunt me forever.Hanoi Jane also got a bum rap. She wanted the whole thing ended.

It was the fickle finger of fate. (if anyone remembers that)

Pass the silly-putty, please.

Wiley has been sporadic in the use of the middle digit.Aug.15th-Was lacking here in God casting lightning bolts earthward.Aug 13th-Lacking in the guys across Wall Street having the cookout. Needed be directed at guys with briefcases.Aug 5th. Effectively used here by God in flicking the guy with the bomb on top of the mountain.

Shouldn’t sculpt while stoned. Oh well. Rock on!Does remind me I want to see the new exhibit at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk. C.

It started out as “The Peace Sign.”

@algurka

Hope you’re still online.My greatest thanks for info on Luther Standing Bear. Have searched him online and have saved a list of quotes by him to “favorites”. Such deep wisdom.See that he returned to Pine Ridge.My greatest respects to red men everywhere, and restate my wish to have been born Native, Quaker,or Amish.Also like the idea of Natives running some casinos.

@algurka

Please know that CIN in (believe it’s in Phoenix) also has some donations coming their way.

@C Downs

Please tour USS Wisconsin, a few blocks from the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, the place where all WW2 vets everywhere were embarrassed by R&R announcing their plan to run together.

We live in a PG world…. not.

Any more mistakes and he can call it “THE WRIST”.

@algurka

Notions of peace have always been crushed somehow.Kinda like “socialism” and "liberalism""being made into dirty words.Webster’s Dictionary gives the original meaning.More money in wars. (Wall Street approved).

…looks like Mickey Mouse’s hand (fist) to me….

cdward: There were wings on the digit – it was the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate, and I remember it well.

It looks like it should be called “Got yer nose”

A social rebel group that fights for the rights of rocks everywhere: Granite Power!

That thumb would make a great hitchhiking tool.

Personally I prefer: " being tickled under the testicles by the tempestuous touch of time".

We use the single finger, too.

Fist pump now

Considering some of the so called art out there, that would have been a mild sculpture.

Miserichord: The Constitution (remember that old document?) says treason is limited to levying war against the United States (like all those Reich-wing domestic terrorist groups) and giving aid and comfort to the enemy;. It further says “enemy” is defined by a majority vote of both houses of Congress, and ended by a two-thirds vote of the Senate (in ratifying a peace treaty). We were never lawfully at war with either Vietnam. All those deaths, mutilations, and wasted resources were without legal basis. Back to Elbridge Gerry’s prediction about standing armies being a major threat to freedom.

i kinda get it.

@Night-Gaunt49Wow, the King used to meter your treason? What, so you could pay for actual usage? I’m pretty sure that, over here in the UK, it was charged at a flat rate.
