Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 18, 2010

Comic Strip analogy: Danae:Victoria :: Calvin:Mom.

This version should get interesting.

Change like Danae’s mood.

A cogent illustration of the phrase: Be careful what you wish for…

Don’t panic, Danae, I’m sure you’ll figure her buttons after while.

I do hope Joe does not marry this woman, she is a squirrel of the first magnitude.

Brockie, lighten up, she isn’t a real person, it is a strip! I love the prospect of Victoria and Danae bumping heads!

Looks like Danae is a coffee drinker. No surprise there…

The marriage - it’ll never happen.

he must’a gotten a good grade… it would seem they spent the night together… all innocent, I’m sure….

If he marries victoria, t’will ruin the strip.

^Nah, she’s a goof foil for Danae. Probably a long courtship will draw out the story-line, however.

I wouldn’t count on being caleld “mom” anytime soon Victoria, even if you do marry Joe.

I still like Victoria’s relative (the one she is subbing for) better. Wasn’t that just supposed to be for a few months, a couple of years ago? Or does strip-time versus reality-time not apply to surreal strips like this?

I’m sure if Danae has anything to say about, she wouldn’t be calling Victoria Mom…now - or ever.

This should be interesting.

And squirrels tend to bury acorns then forget where they are.

Years ago on this comic there was a guy who smoked a lot and then up and dies. If we can have death on this comic strip, then why not marriage. Why maybe we could even have birth.

A birth? Another Danae? The world isn’t ready for that.!

They’re engaged? Whoa, I’ve got whiplash!

Does Joe know anything about this impending marriage?

OH MY GOSH! Danae and a baby… this does NOT bode well

Woddy: Where’s Joe? Does he know that Victoria is in his house?

LOL

Good luck, Victoria! ;)

Uh-oh…woman overbored…

“Why does everything seem to change so fast around here?”

Maybe compared to Prince Valiant. (Hey, when did Prince Arn grow up into such a jerk?)

“squirrel of the first magnitude.”?

To Wiley or anybody else, I forget, how do you pronounce “Danae”? Thanks.

well Danae does have a little sister. but i like the expresson on her face in 4th panel.

Danae, I thought you want to call Victoria “Mommy” You can her “Step-Mommy!”

I hope Victoria has past experience raising coffee-drinking, bi-polar children…

A grown up Danae in the same house with Danae? Wow. And I do mean WOW.

Hilarity ensues!

The only little girl in comics whose mood swings faster than Danae’s has got to Alice Otterloop.

andymeijer, I’m not sure anything applies to this surreal strip…plus4, yes she’s pushing her buttons. She’s establishing the chain of command right now. Danae has met her match. Vicky will be a great foil for her. And she really, really needs one. She’s been pushing dad’s buttons for years. Not on Victoria’s watch. And jock, Vicky wins…not every time, but in the long run. I like the way this is going…

Again, to think she and Kate spent most of ‘08 trying to hook them up…
