Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 21, 2021

I always wonder what the doctor is doing on their pad during a session

the fact that the cat wrote down WOOF, and then went back to MEOW, I’m impressed.

Woof is winning.

A Meow Mix with a Sub-Woofer!

It is that or Grrrr…

When the cat is satisfied that the dog is healing that will be BECAUSE he’s starting to act more like a cat, right?

In psychological terms, the cat broke through the Id and the Ego to get to the Feral.

If written by Pastis this’d been captioned as a “Barkthrough”.

This is the follow-up to today’s Bliss comic.

Here too!

the WOOF might have been gas.

Well sure! His old man was a stray-nged!

Love the water bowl….lol

To really get to know someone you need to know what is normal and what is not. “Normal” is not always easy and “not” isn’t either, but knowing which is which is worth the effort. At least if you’re getting paid to know the difference.

No! No! No! The dog should be the therapist, not the cat!

Well, I see our time is up here; until next time I want you to try to think about your happy place when you hear the FedEx man.

What [well adjusted] dog would talk so benignly to a cat :D

Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, pee, poop, eat, sleep, sleep, squirrel!

Dr. Cat is incompetent or at least not paying attention. Dog clearly said woof woof while Dr. Cat heard only woof. The consequences of this failure could be catastrophic.

No pun intended.

just another typical political debate

GOD! I love this!!!

Finally, a therapist who makes an effort to understand his patient.

Any change in a client’s “script” may be a breakthrough.

Red State. Blue State.

The cat’s dialogue reminds me of Henrietta Pussycat from Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.

Could you repeat that?

Guy’s down on his luck, walks into a bar, asks if he can have a free drink if he shows off his talking dog. Bartender’s dubious but says to go ahead and give it a shot. Guy looks at the dog and asks “What’s this over our head, boy?”

“Rrroooofff”

“What’s the opposite of smooth?”

“Rrrruffff”

“Who was the greatest baseball player of all time?”

“Rrrruth”

“Get outta here” says the barkeep.

Moments later, they’re sitting dejected on the curb in front of the bar and the dog muses “Do you suppose I should’ve said Ty Cobb?”

A true breakthrough would have the Dog meowing and the Cat, well the Cat would still be meowing…

What we have here is a fellya to communicate.

If you follow politics or celebrity interviews you are probably familiar with what I call meowing. If you can substitute “meow” for every word the person says without altering the information content it’s meowing.

The cat is making notes in his own language. The WOOF is a note that the patient has deviated from the norm and made a breakthrough in the counseling by revealing something previously held back.

I think. If I’m wrong, @WileyMiller will put me in my place.

Nice therapist.

When the humans are at work… The return.

How does a dog sit on a couch and not immediately fall asleep?

This comic is in synchronicity with Harry Bliss today. https://www.gocomics.com/bliss/2021/05/21?ct=v&cti=2275429

Breakthroughs are like that.

They Hide in the trivialities.

Cats are too self-serving to care what a dog says.
