Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 24, 2024

Will Walter stay the course? Will Mary stop nagging? Will Walter be forced into uxoricide? Or wheel everyone go down with the wagon? Find out this time next fall when Season 2 starts.

He must have steered badly.

GPS!

No worries. It’s a covered wagon so insurance should pay up.

Maybe it is time to get their butts out of the wagon before it goes over? Just a thought.

That’s Politicians for you!

Gene, Pia, and Essex (the bull) invent a new technology!

Not to worry. The Trump tariff fairy will eliminate our deficit ‘in a very short period of time, I believe’.

Whatever happened to all the oxen that pulled those wagons west?

Oregon Trail game: You die.

The steer is in favor of an immediate reversal of the course.

Proceed to the route…Proceed to the route…Proceed to the route…Procee

Before you argue about directions, pull the poor ox back up.

The Donner Party was taking a shortcut.

Folks who deal with oxen on a daily basis have a strong tendency to be reality based. And in those days, even folks who walked tended toward realism anyway. Except politicians and preachers.

Another Elon Musk self-driving failure!

In reality, the oxen would not have gone over the cliff willingly

My old first generation Garmin was prone to the same malady.

AGreed. Harris is asking us to “stay the course” with her outrageous, civilization ending policies. Time for a new course. Not here Old Way Backward, elitism and government domination of our lives.

For a change in direction, peace, prosperity and security – Vote Trump!

We’ve just been waiting for the people who can do it. Stay the course. We are those people.

At least there is some good news – Smashed hamburger patties are all the rage right now.

“Stay the course” was Ronald Raygun’s irritating mantra, delivered with a Howdy Doody bobble-head grin.

That poor ox!

Google Maps strikes again.

Intelligent, practical woman vs male buffoon who’s in charge — some things never change.

Ox = election Wagon people = the rest of us

The poor ox, hanging at the end of its harness!

New meaning to your ox being in the ditch.

“Absolutely not. Stay the course, or else!”

This is an Ox-he-moron cartoon!

What a good representation of the US national debt

This seems to be unfairly denigrating the self-preservation instincts of oxen.

Ever since Ward Bond died……

Too late for the ox.

NO! Stopping or going back BAD! Forward, always forward, no matter what! Progress! Try new things, and if those don’t work, try more and newer things!

But they didn’t stay the course. That’s obviously not one of the trails heading west so they did decide to do their own thing, and wandered off without the support of other migrants. This doesn’t make any sense.

Cut to the chase and blame Climate Change. Or Donald Trump.

On the related subject of hanging around.

ahhh, Waze – “Recalculating”

NEVER use GPS in the desert

I’d bet the Bull- Sh#t!

No.

Giddy up ! ;-)

Due to having only antenna TV, I catch “Wagon Train” weekdays. There was just such a situation in one on the other day. That wagon went half way down, All the other people got ’em back up with ropes and pulleys…….Just in time for the women to have her baby.

Lovers Leap?

My husband would follow his GPS off a cliff, rather than use some common sense.

Yes, always.

Their eyes must have been glued on their phone’s screen and not noticed the large chasm coming. I don’t know about oxen but a horse would have stopped.

LOL!! Waaaaaaaaay too funny Wiley!

An early prototype of Tesla self-driving taxis

Take the leap of faith.

They’re “reviewing, the situation”

If at first you don’t succeed, give up! No sense being obsessive about it.

I assume that’s her husband she’s ‘talking’ to … since when did a man ever ask for directions?

Covered wagons weren’t very fast. Partly because they were heavy, but oxen were also very slow.

Poor little bull! Let the man pull the wagon next time!!!!!

I love the dangling ox. Such a cute, vacant expression on its face!

No, now is not the time.

Must be the Donner Party.
