Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 30, 2021

They’re just thinning the herd. Similar to herd immunity.

It’s okay: they had to put up a sign.

Bring a rabbit sharpened at both ends.

The moose has the gun, but the chicken has the bullets.

You thought that cancel culture was bad but now there are bears and bear traps. Now you can get seriously canceled.

Support the Right to Arm Bears.

Considering how anthropomorphic the animals are here, and maybe Wiley meant this in this comic, but does anyone else think “misanthrope” sounds more like an accidental human (like mis-take, mis-spoke, mis-step) rather than a hatred of them? (maybe anti-anthrope?).

This is un-bearable, Wiley. Is that a bleached ulna lying there? A femur? Well, I’ll make no bones about it.

Never tell a moose with a rifle that he should be regulated.

Is that a MAGA hat?

The Wileybears seem to be training (corrupting?) the others.

I thought they were supposed to arm bears.

The bears love people just like I love steak.

The Right to Bear Arms, Deer Arms, Pig Arms, Rabbit Arms, and Chicken Arms.

I prefer Bare Arms (and Bare Feet),

… a Rabbit’s Foot,

… and Chicken Wings.

There need to be anti-mask, anti-vax people on the misanthrope side, too.

Calvin is so ornery, he even ticked himself off!

Been saying for years our planet (read nature) was going to find a way to regulate our population if we didn’t get our act together and stop exploiting it selfishly. First Covid, now moose with assault rifles and rabbits with spears. Guess we asked for it.

Completely understandable!

YAY!!! WILEY BEARS!!! YAY!!! ( And Wiley chickens, and pigs, and deer, and rabbits…)

Animals really don’t hate civilization. It’s the people who occupy it that they don’t like.

Misanthropy is forever. Our herd is simply big enough to shrug off the predators. …for now.

Bad BUNNY! Look out!

Animals deserve the right to get even for all the animals people have slaughtered in “sport hunting”.

Try using misanthropy in a sentence: I went to a Trump rally and caught a severe case of misanthropy.

The only reason Walmart doesn’t have a Hit-Man Department is because it would be illegal.

Is that Canuck with the knife in his mouth? Can’t be. Wrong color feathers…

Huh! You thought it was “dog eat dog”!

Thinning the herd comes from AR-15’s

the bears are the capo di tutti of this forest mafia!

Welcome to Grafton, New Hampshire.

“Misanthropy” literally means “man hating”. Deregulation is based on the assumption that private companies are philanthropies. The latest power problems in Texas indicate, once again, that this is not the case.

As a bear I might be concerned about chickens with bear traps!

It’s a ‘mostly peaceful’ BLM (Bear Lives Matter) protest.

Support your right to arm bears.

Lucky for the humans that Pastis’ “Guard Duck” isn’t there… with his RPG Launcher.

I’m not quite sure what armed wildlife has to do with deregulation. Were there regulations against armed animals previously ?

As the cannibal said, “You can have Ralph’s liver when you pry it from my cold dead fingers!”

Women, though, can pass peacefully through. It’s not a “misogyny” district.

That chicken is somebody’s dinner

Well, when you take the Right To Arm Bears just a Little bit too far …

What is sauce for the goose…

Those two humans are thoughtful enough to wear masks. I hope they avoid the trap, and move on.

Must be in Texas (Hope!)

OBTW, what is the bear on the right holding?

So we’ve got the hare from the Tortoise and the Hare and the bears from Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. I don’t get the chicken or the moose.

If that’s a MAGA hat on the ground, I’d say they are saving the USA.

No maybe about it.

We NEED animals such as these!

Love the bear filing his claw in nonchalant anticipation.

“And the winner of this year’s Miss Anthropogenic contest is….”

being more accurately the “Antianthropy District”

When the animals start fighting back be afraid .. be very, very afraid …
