Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 12, 2020

Everything is possible!

The power of imagination is … unimaginable.

Kewl.

The Never-Ending Story, Wiley style.

Captain Eddie won’t be the only one with interesting stories.

Imagination can take you anywhere, Just ask Calvin.

That’s not fair. We never got to fly on a manatee in the Everglades when we were in kindergarten.

“To be swimmingly continued”. Wiley has the best cliffhanger announcements since “same bat time, same bat channel”

Miller actually makes me jealous that I’m not on the spectrum. That takes a special talent, no doubt!

“There was a long silence. Then a slightly shorter silence. Then the old shaman said carefully, ‘You didn’t just see two men go through upside down on a broomstick, shouting and screaming at each other, did you?’

“The boy looked at him levelly. ‘Certainly not,’ he said.

“The old man heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Thank goodness for that,’ he said. ‘Neither did I.’ "

— The Light Fantastic (1986), Terry Pratchett

Oh, the places you’ll go!

In a child’s mind, the universe is a play room

so jack can include others in his trips?

We do not stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.

This is adorable

I love that Jack!

I really, REALLY like Jack!

Oh no. Is this strip underwater?

Looks like fun to me. Though I’m sure I would be in deep doo doo for riding a sea cow, I’m happy to live vicariously through Jack and Reagan for now. Giddy up!

Love that hair!

Reminds me of Susan’s class in Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather.

The lack of political comment is terrible. There must be someone to blame. I know. The child is fantasizing due to cuts imposed by the previous administration. He just doesn’t realize how great things are in the real world.

Imagination is SOOO much better than computer generated video.

People who go fishing in the Everglades quickly get used to seeing unusual forms of animal life around them.

Mr. Wiley, the beauty and joy and genius of your soul leaves me in laughter and tears….as Checkov once said.
