Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 22, 2014

Yeah, where DID you adopt him from, Wiley?(The old Non Sequitur logo flies again!)

Wife: “Let him keep his illusions, dear. Let him keep his illusions.”

Why are there no Suzies in the flock? ( A female Mallard is a “Suzy” )

They should be flying in a V formation, shouldn’t they?

Are they like cats — the backends are different?

Just be sure you don’t tell him penguins can’t fly,

He has happy wings instead of feet.

Somewhere there’s a swan writing an angry letter….

daDoctah, the swan is writing a song……

Okay you have right remain silent, if you give up the right to remain silent…

Just wait until you’re near the south pole.

This can’t end well. Should one assume our young penguin (crash) lands somewhere in the county of Bloom, to be adopted by a carrot-topped youngster named Michael?

That damned imprinting will do it every time.

and he will never win a race, in flying.

males and females have different markings. males have the solid green head band. females don’t. but only a duck person would know that, lol.so where does Wiley live? British Columbia, or BC?

I believe Wiley lives in California.

Wow, just look at all those dinners!

If he does not know by now. He may never.

The secret origin of Opus.

A flying penguin — not only is he adopted, he’s adapted.

So that’s where Opus ended up!

That’s cold!

Some of you may think this cartoon funny but I did not. Making jokes about adoption is cruel and distasteful. Shouldn’t we stop poking fun at others that are different and that includes adoptees, gays, minorities, handicapped, etc. If you were different, would you like to be the one people made fun of?

Today’s Wiley ducks seem to have male heads and necks, and more or less female bodies. BTW, Wiley lives in Kennebunkport, Maine, or did in 2012.http://bangordailynews.com/2012/01/22/news/portland/renowned-cartoonist-churning-out-non-sequitur-quietly-in-kennebunkport/

“Tell him he’s adopted? And have all the ducklings and goslings call him names?”

is his name Peggy? Lets see if anyone knows what show that question comes from

Penguins is pratikally chickens. I heard that on a Bugs Bunny cartoon once. :-)

Haven’t read anything that made me laugh out loud every time I read it the first five times since I was a teenager rather a while back.

Brilliant!
