Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 06, 2023

There’s an art to that

No relation to George Santos [if that’s his name], of course.

He does the elephant symbolism quit well, embellishment has for the most part killed the beast

It’s a mammoth undertaking.

Here we see the ancestor of the politician, Og Santos

Lying is lying, no matter what you call it.

He’s figured it out.

I’m retired now, but once in awhile I’ll run across a copy of my resume from years ago!! What a crock!!!

Early Congressional art?

ELEPHANT, n. A mouse designed by a committee. Sometimes, a committee of one. Are the modern committees-of-one on paleo diets?

Beware of elephant roadkill. Not only could you run into it if you’re not alert, but it stinks worse than a crooked politician.

This is what he would look like if …

Are you a mouse? Or a mammoth?

Well, I suppose if all you can use are hieroglyphs and cave paintings in order to get noticed …

Dopey Joe has a pic of him driving a semi. “Breaker, breaker good… good… good… ummm.”

He did kill something. And maybe he had a fear of mice so that to him it was like a Mammoth.

Reading some resumés can be enlightening and surprising. I was always amazed at how some folks could guild the lily when it came to previous employment.

One lady’s CV stated that in her previous job, she’d been the Director of First Impressions – in reality, the company’s receptionist.

What is really sad is that some human resource departments encourage creativity. When applying for a higher-ranking position [essentially just a pay raise for the job I had been doing for several years], I was told my application didn’t get passed on to the review committee because it ‘lacked an awareness of current terminology in the field’. I discovered this when a couple of the committee members told me they were surprised I hadn’t applied for the job and I checked to see what had happened.

The person who got that job lasted only a few months before being promoted to a different job, and then to another. Eventually he ended up with a high ranking title that allowed him to do a lot of PR but no real work — because that was the only thing he was good at — spinning words.

I think I’d have drawn it with it on my back carrying it

Given that Buttercup ‘won’ the so-called election as Rep candidate, that dead elephant and its stink will flavor the news a lot more in coming months.

My resume starts off with: “Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.”

It’s in response to a job posting for for mild-mannered reporter.

He must be applying for “Head Executive Hunter”.

Idle curiosity inspired by sight of dead elephant: “GOP” stands for “Grand Old Party”. Where did the “old” come from? The Republican Party was founded in a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin, in 1854. The Democratic Party goes back half a century before that. Shouldn’t the Republicans be something like, I dunno, “GYP”, for “grandstanding young party”?

Clever pun name.

One of George Santos’ early ancestors.

We may not like it but as long as you can convince the rubes that you’re Batman without having to actually BE Batman, the lying will never stop.

If you want to believe that guy felled a mammoth with a club, that’s on you

Ah,but did cavemen and mammoths actually exist in the same place at the same time?

How do you eat a mastodon? One bite at a time!

G. Santos, Doctor of Prehistory?

Mammut, a mouse built to goverment specification.

Santos: The Early Years

Fine, as long as he’s not asking anyone to hire him on the basis of the embellished resume.

Weird pattern recognition. A quick glance at this cartoon out of the corner of my eye made it seem like it was the upper torso of a guy lying on his side facing us; the curvy black lines on the right were like his hair, and the scribbly wall-drawing lines were facial features. Is this just an overactive imagination, or has anybody else had the same odd sense of facial recognition?

Let’s talk about "the elephant in the room”.

He can draw all he wants, but can’t eat the drawings.

Show. Me. The. BBQ!!!
