Transcript:
Danae: You'll be happy to know that I've completed my new year's resolutions, Daddy... Joe: Well, I'm glad to hear... Danae: Here's yours. Joe: Uh... what? Danae: Resolutions are about self-improvement, right? Joe: Yes... Danae: So I made a list of things you can do to improve my life. You're welcome. Joe: This isn't how it works, Danae. Danae: Whoa! Scroll down to item #27 about correcting me... Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a lot more resolutions to hand out.

You could all be so much better if you just follow my instructions. She won’t have to wait for puberty. She’s a teen age girl already.

Why does this remind me of one of my ex-wives ?

Some people wonder why other people don’t have kids…..

My New Years Resolution? Read Non Sequitur every day! And, OK, yeah, make snarky comments…

Danae’s idea of “resolutions” is the same as the Tea Party’s idea of “compromise.”I like the eagerness of the TP to throw the country off the “fiscal cliff.” (And I’ll be thinking of them every time I have to pay $8 for a gallon of milk. Oh, yes, and on election day too.)

Seriously, as long as I can do this life is good. Not trying to be heavy here, but to anybody reading this, just enjoy the peace you have now, if indeed you have it. If you don’t have it, run like the wind….

Reminds me of the time my Mother-In-Law made a New Year’s Resolution for my wife. Only brain damaged people or people with so little in their life would have the time to want to change other people when they have so much wrong and lacking in their own life.

I don’t have any New Year’s Resolutions for this year, but I have one for 2016: I (and my group) won’t vote for that jerk Biden!

How does it remind you of one of Linguist’s ex-wives and how is it you know her?
freeholder1 almost 12 years ago
Mr. Lyons huddles in his basement drinking rat stew,next to a dying fire, trying to keep warm in this ruined nation. Fortunately, he still has his laptop. And his cult….er, group. I resolve to mock them thoroughly if they can’t find anybody but a cult believer to sell us next time.

To close with a compliment to Wiley. You have officially taken over first place for me and replaced “far side”. Keep up the great artwork and commentaries. Your perspective is refreshing and obviously you stimulate some serious deep thought for some here. Congratulations and all the best for the new year!

I wonder….if she gets that ‘controlling syndrome’ out of her mind as she grows up she might just turn out OK…..then again, who am I kidding…..

Why is Danae never spanked hard and repeatedly? She’s a prime candidate for a district court judgeship or women’s prison if she doesn’t get a clue. Happy new year to all!

Oh, I like that, Danae. I’ll have to remember this approach. :-)

I resolve not to make incendiary remarks at gocomics.-I resolve that Omnius will get smarter and less abrasive.-I resolve that Sturmmi14 will not get so mad.-I resolve that Trusted Mechanic will just ignore the trolls.-I resolve that no one at gocomics will call each other names, nor characterize each other judgmentally.-I resolve not to be such a smart aleck.-No, wait….I think I have to start over. DRAT! This is hard :-)

Waaaaaay past time for Daddy to grow a couple and paddle her butt a nice pretty pink for talking that way to him! Certainly would-a worked that way in our house when I was growing up!

I wonder what Danae’s face will look like if/ when she learns New Year’s Resolutions are about what she resolves to do. That’s why I aim low: change nothing, do nothing, don’t even pretend to care. It makes life easier to take.
Ernest Lemmingway almost 12 years ago
Seriously? This is news to some people? Of course corps are taking over. It’s also old news. They figured out ways around monopoly laws back in the Eighties. It’s called “conglomeration.” And “lobbying,” a nice word for buying off politicos so they won’t rock the boat. When we are regularly literally plugging our brains into computers for virtual bread and circuses, then I’ll know cyberpunk isn’t just a subculture but a warning.

I resolve not to make snarky comments about stupid people. Dang…

Treat others the way you want to be treated..With that in mind Dad gets to write a list for you, Danae. A very l-o-n-n-g list.
Justice22 almost 12 years ago
Thanks for the idea, Danae. I’m starting on my list for others right now…
Rickapolis almost 12 years ago
I love this idea. But I’d put it all online and email the lists out.

Turn the tables and offer a few for HER to follow. ;-)

See, that’s just the thing: I don’t have any politics to agree or disagree with. My motivation is entirely different. :-)

I once [literally once] went out with a woman who ask me detailed questions about my views on relationship and marriage. Apparently my answers were insufficient so she sent me a long questionnaire to fill out. I did not of course. This strip reminds me of what she must have been like as a child.
