Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 08, 2023

Only if a celebrity can fit through the eye of a needle.

Is the “celebrity” orange? I understand that orange celebrities are exempt from all the rules.

Shave to prevent the bushes from burning.

Thou shalt not assume.

I think that was included in the third tablet that Moses dropped (Mel Brooks reference).

Celebrity exemption?

I think you mean: It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It.

.

Just ask Stormy.

Moses: “Lord, your chosen people are giving me a headache.”

Burning Bush: “Take two tablets.”

It wasn’t a contract. It was a covenant. An old one if you believe the myth. The new one is working about as well as the old one. Best bumper sticker I ever saw: Jesus, save us from your children.

Lawyer looking for the “Rules for Thee but not for me” exception

“When you’re famous, they let you do it”

“Thou Shalt Avoid Trumpery.”

Or politician…

Don’t forget the residuals.

Many seem to think the original began with Thou shalt not . . . and let the reader fill in the blanks.

this is virtually a re-run. he did one almost identical a year or two back without the big back drop and the lawyer asked "except for celebrities right’

No, but the standard “unless it’s against the out-group” applies, especially if the out-group has something we want.

Only for former “reality” TV stars who go into politics.

Sounds more like a Trump attorney.

Wiley uses the same artwork to make both a strip and panel version of each daily entry. He does two complete sets of lettering and lets papers mask off which parts they want to suit their needs. The tail of the word balloon for the panel version is dipping very far down into the strip version.

There is an actual plant called Burning Bush, and no, it’s not on fire

Approximately 1 million were lead out of Egypt and across the Red Sea. Yet initially all they were given were 10 simple directives. Imagine trying to give 10 simple commands to a million people today

Not to inject the obvious, but that former guy is exempt from all ten commandments.

Where’s a bolt of lightening when you need one?

No, but the sanity clause is in there.

The church will be implementing that clause shortly.

“Watch for burning Bushes.”

That Texas sun can be brutal.

Now days they are just the “10 Suggestions”

Making rules, and following them, are not the same thing.

George Carlin contends that the list of 10 was artificially padded by hustlers looking to control people. Here he identifies which ones could easily be dispensed with: youtu.BE/CE8ooMBIyC8?si=LluGOwMH9gOEdSUj

The best person to play Moses was Harriet Tubman.

Love the sign on the trail.

Trump stopped reading at “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s….etcetera”

There seems to always be a bald guy with a pony tail in his crowd scenes.

It’s easier for the eye of a needle to enter heaven than for a rich man to pass through a camel

“Sorry. These rules are written in stone.”

The two tablets are divided into “dealing with Jehovah (1 thru 3)” and “dealing with each other (4 thru10)” The second tablet was ignored from Day One. The first one was reduced to money-making lip service before we got to the ADs.

Wonder how that guy felt after 40 years of wandering in the wilderness.

@SIR, I thought that the original phrase was “Blah, blah blah . . . . . Can fit through the eye of a camel” but I’ve been wrong before

“Tout est possible, monsieur, tout est possible”.

I’m unconvinced that he was the first…

Celebrities – famous for being famous, stupid and or bloody obnoxious
