Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 18, 2010
Transcript:
Lucy: What's that you're working on? Danae: Prepared text for my press conference to pacify the public. Lucy: Ah...the "stinky, booger-brained boy" thing, eh? Danae: Yeah...I just need to craft the script well enough to shut everyone up. Lucy: With sincerity, right? Danae: Oh, yes...I sincerely wish they'd all shut up and go away.

For all the girls reading this, you know I speak the truth. For all the stinky, booger-brained boys, you probably aren’t listening to this because it’s not sports related, so pacify everyone, pacify.

Love Lucy’s expression in panel 3… When I was a girl that age, I really don’t remember if I was that against boys back then… lol I don’t think so given I was a tomboy at heart!

I sincerely wish many people would shut up and go away, alas we are stuck with them Danae.

I never thought boys were “stinky bogger brains”. I was very jealous that I was not allowed to do what they were (tomboy at heart) and as I grew older I still was jealous of the academics they were offered I was not. “Girls don’t do math & science….” Fortunately I had two Uncles who felt differently and mentored me into a great university that did teach females math & science (and engineering!)! Now women are less discouraged from math & science fields, but we still have a long way to go!

A Reuben? Does it come with a pickle? Don’t mind me, I’m just a booger-brained boy. That Sir Booger-Brain to cootie carrying girls. And I was not jealous of your math grades.

Congrats, Wiley!
And I have written many presentations with the sole purpose of shutting people up. Rarely with effectiveness, though, those uncooperative booger brains.

Oh, Wiley was there ever any doubt???

Mr. Wiley…Quality is when people comment on YOUR product and not waste space saying hello/goodbye to each other like C.B. Radio. You will win…this place is quality.
kaligirlthegodess over 14 years ago
ahhhh! danae and lucy are my idols. the wry humor, the unwaivering gloom and doom. and last but never least the adroit use of language and sarcasm. bah humbug to optimisim.

It would sure be nice to have a stick-on for the back of my computer like the one Dane has on hers.
Varnes over 14 years ago
mackhitch, thanks for redirecting my attention to the image on the back of her computer. I noticed the scull had a bite out of it just like an Apple. That’s one of the reasons Wiley is so nominated, I believe….
Varnes over 14 years ago
Gotta love the sock, too….
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
Danae if you figure out how to make them go away, please let us know. Good Luck!
Wiley ~ Congratulations! That was a great strip. Danae is one of my favorite characters. Of course she reminds me a lot of my daughter and myself. (Which is probably a bad thing.)
