Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 14, 2024

Is “the cool kids’ table” what they call the big light up there?

On the downside, he constantly gets the “pass the butter” jokes.

In life, he was a skillful, dependable wingman.

If he flaps them, there will be hurricanes all over the world.

But what did he look like in his larval stage?

Joe Burrow in Heaven.

Maybe he is actually a moth – not so cool.

I thought all angel wings were generic.

For some reason that I’ve never been able to figure out – angels have bird (feathered) wings and fairies have insect wings. Demons have bat wings.

I would be interested to know when angels were first depicted with wings. Was it sometime after Nemesis and Zeus had their fling.

Certainly brightens up those monochrome surroundings. Might start a trend.

No more outlandish than “Will There Be Any Stars In My Crown?”

As insect wings are often instrumental in pollination, I assume that they must get dusty a lot.

That’s what happens when you get bored.

Not sure the “cool kids” at my school would be in heaven.

Rather approriately, those are the wings of a dead butterfly.Note the angle of the front wings. Collectors and scientists pin the wings forward to display the full patterns on the wings. A live butterfly’s wings typically have their leading edges nearly in a straight line. All those tramp stamps have it wrong.

Wonder if he made a Billion dollar donation?

The women angels are way ahead on this

He keeps getting “His wings are on my side” comments from his siblings.

He must have been a monarch in life.

Shouldn’t his teeth be white? The mouth looks weird.

Envy isn’t a deadly sin anymore?

I want dragonfly wings if I was him. Hummingbird ones would be cool also.

Social butterfly.

How did he get an upgrade?

If angels all had butterfly wings, they could all be Mothras.

Accurate depiction of organized religion.

No envy or pride in Heaven. Must be Purgatory.

I always thought people would start fighting over who got the best halo within 5 minutes of arriving in “Heaven”.

Don’t worry, angel face, your turn will come. After all, you’ve plenty of time.

Where do you apply for the upgrade? Or is “holier than thou” a thing up there?

Must not be heaven then, right ??? ;-)
