Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 27, 2022

Not sure if “Planet Danae” would be better, by any stretch.

Mars 3.0. That would make her an extraterrestrial and able to give advice to the government. Oh help us all

You know what’s scary? The idea that there might be a planet-full of Danaes. Though come to think on it…

Did she tell the truth? She could say “I’m not from any planet. I’m from a comet and I’m waiting for it to come back around and pick me up.”

“Mars 2.0 …. On the other side of the sun.”

Ok …. what?

That would not work unless the other “Mars” is in Earth’s orbit. But that would make it “Earth 2.0”.

If Mars 2.0 is on the opposite side of the sun from Mars 1.0 and in the same Martian orbit, then we would have seen it as Earth leaves Mars 1 behind and catches up with Mars 2 (Earth is closer to the sun and so completes an orbit around it faster than Mars does).

More comic physics.

..or, to put it another way, “What do you think of the human race? I’m curious about the opinion of an outsider.” (Anyone remember on Taxi when Latka becoming a fake Alex asked Louie this)

Considering the current situation here on Earth, I might not want to admit being from here either.

Apt headline.

When we first met him, Lars was from Mars 3.5. How did it end up being 2.0 now?

You don’t tell the government your REAL address

I love Lars’s facepalm. He can see what’s coming.

I’m at war with myself

Danae makes a positive from a negative. She’s reversible.

They’re Men in Black – the good guys.

Face it. The government doesn’t care about extraterrestrials as long as they pay their taxs.

The sad part is, she’s not that far wrong…

When I first saw the “Government Agents”, I immediately thought they were the “Blues Brothers”. Reading on, it turns out I was right.

20 years ago, she might have thought this was a cool planet to be from – says a lot about the future we’ve been creating for them.

To do the big reveal ala Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of oz, Write in the sky SURRENDER EARTHLINGS!!!! Then add JUST KIDDING…

Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus.

The newspaper headline is a clever shot, a very much more important current event than concern about ET’s or Nutter Buttercup’s campaign to regain his seat in the big litter box on the Potomac. If he keeps up his rhetorical blather long enough, he will have collected enough geld to pay off all his creditors – a highly unlikely event – or maybe purchase some small country for its debt and move his hq there so he can name himself king, the title that he most deeply desires.

DON’T LOOK UP!! Pardon the screaming, but this is really important.

As a child, I always had the secret thought that I might have been left by aliens (or, at least, a circus).

Danae’s home planet has yet to be discovered.

How does he know Danae is a girl? Is he a biologist?

Like I said, can’t this be a spinoff?

Love the look on Lars’ face when they asked what planet she’s from…

What planet would you choose to be from?

I think the case could be made that Danae is a misspelling of Karen.

Way to go Danae, and spot on !

Men in Black change their mission from managing the alien population to marketing the alien population.

Sol III.

If they’ve known for decades, WHEN do they plan to do the big reveal? Now would be a good time. The threat of an alien species among us would unite humans.

“Who you calling “Little Girl” Bub?"

Oh yes, the “big reveal” is coming — but when it does, DO NOT BELIEVE IT! It will merely be a cover for something else, of course.

We’ve all wondered that since the strip began.
