Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 22, 2012

The real trick is getting your car up the ladder.

No kids? No batteries…And why aren’t slides fifty feet tall? And remember, the former is the ladder…Can’t believe skate boarders don’t use these…..

It’s a really slippery slope(s).

Do snow tires help ??

They look like high heeled shoes.

i thought it was a drifting reference.

It’s all down hill from here.

That was the game I grew up with.

Look deeper and you will see:.a. A singles meeting place for young bridges looking to hook up with the opposite side, or. b. A show lot for politicians to select their own bridge-to-nowhere.

Why do the ladders go straight up?

Stop with the philosophy! Let’s go have some FUN! WWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

that looks more like a playground than a road

So, what other kind are there?

yeh, us flatlanders never see THAT highway sign

Are there any slippery slides left? I thought they were condemned as too dangerous some years ago. We had them on school playgrounds and in the city parks. We used a waxed paper bread wrapper (now extinct) to make it slicker- slide down a few times sitting on it and WOW could you go fast!

I came upon such a sign one day. As I rounded a curve I came upon a rock the size of a greyhound bus. Signs are there for a purpose.

If you cant make the climb you cant make the slide.

another government make work economy stimulus package.. slides in nowhere…

i dont get it

I love it Wiley – you have a great mind – mine would never have gone there.@Johnny Diego – my first board game. Thanks for that memory.@everybody else – great comments on this.

Honey, would you like to take a thrilling, nail biting drive through the economy?

Groan….

@Johnny Diego: chute! Why didn’t I think of that?

Pull out your picnic and stay awhile before heading on. Eats, chutes, and leaves.

Graphic play on words. Humbug to comment translations.

I’m glad you didn’t say it then because I would not have gotten it – don’t watch the cartoon channel.

While as usual this is, of course a snipe at the political idiocy that abounds in DC, given that a number of those slides open out onto the roadway and that the usual occupant of slippery slides is small children….I just think that given the events in Newtown this could have been put off for a while as just the slightest possibility of a child being hurt right now casts a pall onto the otherwise brilliance of the piece.

Why the hell do trolls and idiots have to attribute a political implication into every cartoon by Wiley ? Why can’t they take the panel at face value and enjoy the genius and humor without trying to give it some right or left wing spin ? Back off, enjoy it for what it is, OR, go to Doonesbury or Mallard Fillmore !

Daaaa—-aaaammmmnnnnn!!!! Lightenup y’all, it’s Christmas. For crying out loud.

Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide.

Decisions, decisons. Which to try first? Guess it doesn’t matter. Just slide aaaaway!

Watch out for the spiders

Arthur, brilliant…

Just out of curiosity, how many witty people check in here this late at night, eastern time….inquiring minds want to know…

I see the car and the sign are on the left of the road and I deduce from this that the slides are either in the UK or Australia. (Maybe ROI).

It’s now 2023 and I discovered Go Comics, and am binge reading Non Sequitur, starting from the first comic and working my way to 2023. It amazes me how current these older comics still are.
