Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 12, 2014
Transcript:
B.E. -Before Eve- The fabled time when Eden was an all-guys paradise. Rolf: Hey...isn't the pizza tree this way? Adam: That's the old way...I have a theory about another route. Rolf: Ok...so what's your theory? Adam: That this place is round, not flat... Bubba: *urp* 'Sup, dudes. Adam: Hey, Bubba. ...So maybe we can get there faster by going West instead of East! Rolf: We're lost, aren't we... Adam: No!! Well...kinda sorta. Rolf: Maybe we could ask someone for directions. Adam: Why? Rolf: Um... I don't know...let's just keep going aimlessly until we stumble on it. Adam: That's better. I guess the heat must've gotten to you...

After Eve, all the pizza trees became ham bushes.

and you can bet when Eve, who was no prime rib, arrives she will surely tell him where to go…..or give him a backlog of “to do” stuff.

According to an article in National Geographic Magazine, it was the gene for Attention Deficit Disorder that caused humanity to populate the world. The further from Africa people are, the greater the incidence of the gene….aboriginal Australians and people from the southern tip of South America have the highest rates of the gene…Here’s how it works. You see because……..Wait, oh look, something shiny….

Good thing the Pizza Tree is close to the Beer Tree, where ever am us, eh?…Anyway, you gotta love panel 2. Beautiful. And that cool Wiley bear, with his umbrella drink, must be related to Dabney Coleman somehow….Hey, what’s that over there..?

A.D.D.? I always thought it was hunger and curiosity. Bigger ham bushes and beer nut trees were very desirable. And sour grape plants !

The last time we wandered aimlessly was the first and last time we’ll ever be lost (especially in the middle of nowhere after dark): I am now the proud owner of On Star.

That’s why guys love Nascar so much – drive as fast as you want, and no need to ask for directions.

This must have been pulled from the Columbus history files.

And thus began the long journey to (and reason for) GPS.

so a silly tale of nonsense…..what a waste….

Did you know the Bible actually says the earth is round?
susan.e.a.c about 10 years ago
Most guys I know can tell right from left and north, south, east, and west, so the only time they ask for directions is when they aren’t the one driving.

It’s not the destination. It’s the journey. OK, it can be destination, but that doesn’t mean the journey can’t be Fun too!

And don’t forget cornbread, cornbread are square. Existential question; is a pie still a pie when a slice has been removed? It’s certainly not a complete pie. Is it any less a pie for all of that? Can you have your pie and eat it, too?

the dog should ask Lucy for directions. (Danae’s horse, in case you haven’t been paying attention)

Yep, Nabby relies on “everybody knows” pseudofacts, assuming that the “everybody” are people who have the same belief set that he does…. as in, " ‘everybody knows’ dinosaur fossils are proof that Noah’s flood did occur, drowning the biblical behemoths and leviathans that were too big to fit on the ark." Sheesh.

and that, dear children, was how the Chinese takeout tree was discovered.

Hunter, I don’t know, but I sure do love chocolate bunnies….especially the ears…Oh, look at that falling leaf….

Well, if anyone still needs proof that Wiley Miller hates all his fellow males, this strip can serve as Exhbit A. I’ve read Ann Coulter articles that were less mean-spirited(and that’s saying a mouthful).

If he had GPS, he would have found that… he was smack in the middle of nowhere, which he knew already!

The real Columbus story is told in Lies My Teacher Told Me_, now in paperback or a 12-CD audiobook, and in Howard Zinn’s famous _A People’s History of the United States. Quite a different story from the ones schoolchildren are fed.
