Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 15, 2014

And then they take off; in different directions!

Wiley, when does he use bears?? About those “naughty” kids???

Obviously, Santa never thought of dangling an electric can opener in front of them.

You realize that today is National Cat herders day – fur real. See: https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/2014/12/

Wallpaper! I want this as wallpaper!

Near lead cat; “Collar? Meh, not today!” Off lead; {What’s this tail switching around here?} Definitely wallpaper material!

Let you in on a little secret: they can’t tell it’s red!

masterskrain, good try, though….

Flying cats would be awesome, though, eh?I think Da Vinci described the cat as one of Nature’s most perfect creatures……I know cat’s believe that….

OMG: that is terrible. Going back to bed: WAY too early to be able to digest that much cheese.

Originally he had mice tied up there lol.And after Cats didn’t work out Santa tried Dogs, But they kept chasing cars and any wandering Squirrels.And after Dogs Santa tried Pigs but they wouldn’t fly.

dey look like dem katzenjammer kits

And if they delivered gifts to a desert area, they’d have sandy claws.

Fluffy, with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my….oh, forget it.

What r & d? He sold out.

Psssst. I think this strip is a repeat. Probably brought out for Cat Herders Day.Herding cats has on positive thing: the quietest stampedes you’ve ever heard.

The Norse goddess Freya rode in a chariot drawn by two cats. I suspect they were fairly large cats, though. Anyway, Santa has been around for awhile. Maybe he got the idea from her. He just didn’t have the right touch.

On Koko, on Yum Yum, on Mrs. Murphy and Pewter! On Pixel, Lucy Fur, Elocution and Cazenovia!

After yesterday’s strip, I was hoping we would see more Danae. She’s my favorite character.

I like this one; it’s so true. I’ve had a rescue cat for six years now. I like the way he has illustrated each one in it’s own “just doing my thing” typical cat behavior.

You think Santa would be smart enough to use a species that stands a chance of being domesticated.

This came out in 2002 +/- When I worked at EDS. Cat herding!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_MaJDK3VNE

Maybe Kliban could lend some bigger cats.

Wiley, bring back the bears!

Brilliant! Or give Santa a laser pointer so he can steer.

Not even Santa could POSSIBLY think he’s get eight cats to go in one direction at any given time, much less on command! Talkin’ goin’ nowhere in a hurry!

That is so funny…… I couldn’t stop laughing. One of Wiley’s best.

Santa forgot the pole with string and feathers to get their attention. Rolf Harris’ “Six White Boomers” (under the Australian sun, because its too warm in December for reindeer.)

Obviously, Freya knows something thatSanta doesn’t.

goweeder, I sit corrected…..nightshade, 2010….

This early R&D project of Santa’s was scrapped because the specimens kept breaking the “no littering” policy.

Santa could try using boars.

This reminds me of another comic (sorry, couldn’t find it on Google; and I can’t remember who drew it) that had the cats laying around with one of them telling Santa, “We’ll get there when we get there.”

I was wondering…..

is that front cat giving Santa the finger?
