Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 08, 2017

At least he wasn’t texting on Twit

:D Charlie.

I do have

to wonder,

Does Ray Bradbury know Charlie?

How can there be such large animals on desert planets? The Sand Sharks of Mars are huge. Same on Tattooine and Arrakis. And those of Tattooine are imported some of them.

I love Charlie’s imagination.

To see how Charlie turns out when grows a little older and masters the art of imagination, watch Star Trek.

and your who to judge?

the VERY poor attempt to recreate Calvin does nothing for Wiley’s reputation.

Charlie is nothing like Calvin. He is more nerdy and thoughtful. I wish kids played pretend like Charlie does. Now a days marketing does most of the imagining for them.

@Dudley DidereauxWatterson doesn’t hold a patent on cartooning the imaginative adventures of a child, and Wiley’s Charlie is a very different character compared to Calvin. Both characters are imaginative boys, but Wiley’s Charlie isn’t a recreation of Calvin. You may not appreciate the differences and you may prefer Watterson’s cartooning, but IMO your disdain for Wiley’s characterization of Charlie is misplaced.

Really enjoyed this one. You have to love a child’s imagination.

Must be Calvin wearing his Charlie suit.

I love the visits to Charlie’s World.

Self Satisfied smile on cat is classic Wiley, a master of animal animation!

Charlie’s imagination. . .

Giving a kid a motorized car is such a waste. Kids have forgotten how to exercise for fun.

Was he texting while driving?

I love the art in the Charlie’s World segments but somehow as a whole it’s never impressed me near as much as Wiley’s other work does.

Hi Wiley, it’s a fun trope but hasn’t it been done a million times over the decades by Calvin & Hobbes?

Not quite Spaceman Spiff, but not bad.

Trump IS Calvin, but without the restraint and good advice from Hobbs.

Camels are fairly large and indigenous to deserts. Bison and elephants will cross deserts large enough to take a couple of days.

So, does Charlie read Ray Bradbury by any chance? :D Wonder if there’s a mummy in the attic of a neighbor somewhere….

My first thought was Wiley Martian Bears!
