Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 11, 2010

I’m in love…

Pepper Potts, eat your heart out!

And, oh man, the broken window is an example of why Wiley is the best…..

bonk, bonk! bad spammer! (as if it was possible to have a good spammer)

when i slice, it’s usually because i’ve messed up the tempo of my swing and am dragging the club through the ball.

This spam makes me….

She is running the company!!!! You need a C.E.O. to pass the buck when she makes a mistake and wastes millions of dollars and forces thousands out of work. Or maybe the C.E.O. makes the mistakes and is actually running the company. You decide.

Effectively, she is!

I hope she’s getting very well paid.

Only if you buy something. But you’ll probably never see it.

When I slice, chocolate cake is usually involved.

or brownies, or pie! That said a good executive assistant is a tremendous asset to a company, just not for the reasons in the comic at all.

It’s fine to have an executive assistant to do everything for you but you still need a wife to tell you what to do.

A man with an executive assistant like that usually keeps a quiet woman at home to play 50’s housewife/mother. And then he keeps a couple 20something year old mistresses on the side for the eye candy.

Such pessimism for a beautiful Friday…

Hey LameRandomNames. I doubt very much someone is putting a gun to your head and making you read this strip. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Don’t read and then complain because it offends your particular sensibilities.

Plus, you really must not get humor. This is not at all a slap at “fat cat CEO” types. It is simply painting a picture of the assistant that I’m sure anyone in a management position would like to have. So just chill and enjoy the humor. (Or take your complaining to Mallard Fillmore because he never criticizes the right..)

As a capable admin asst, I resemble this strip! It wasn’t a slam against the exec, it was praise of good assistants. so there!

I love the huge framed picture of himself in the background!

Perfect? Yes, but impossible. Next, she’ll be taking responsibility for the fall of Lehman Brothers.

Righties have no sense of humor… hence LameRandomNames comment.

Lefties are hypocrites, you mean you’d be ‘LOL’ing if it was a strong satire at the Unions or Obama?

Both sides need to get a grip and let Wiley do his job.

If he takes her advice on his swing maybe he could lob one at a disgruntled commenter..

Thank Wiley, for another great strip. I think you may have hit too close to home for some folks, please don’t stop!!

to bad obama does not have someone to give him good advice.

Yeah, it’s impossible that he is taking a break from his100+ hour week. It’s impossible that he gets the little things done by an assistant because he needs his talents for turning the company 180 degrees like he has for three other giants. Yup, it’s impossible that he is worth every million they pay him. Now go back to stealing your bosses hard earned dollar as you post to comics while you “earn” an hourly wage. Heaven forbid you weren’t with your family on weekends, or nights, or afternoons, or birthdays, or holidays. Your boss was working.

thebird55, I know what you mean about stupid spammers. sighhh! :-/

Hey! Wiley is just not into self caricature ok! But he draws great bar drama. I’ll bet he does his best work sitting in a dive bar sucking down Jack and coke!

Guess what Wiley? THEY’RE ALL MOVING IN WITH YOU!!

Speaking of being turned too far to the left…

Love it! Three cheers (and a big raise) for that office assistant. We should all be so lucky in our help. ;)

I know her! She works for me, and I admit I would be lost without her. I would prefer to lose my right arm then her. I happen to have the world of respect for her, and she never hesitates to “correct” me, when required. My wife acknowledges my dependency and ensures I reward her accordingly.

My hat is off to EA’s everywhere.

@Wiley–you might as well give it a rest. No matter what you draw, some commenters will turn it into a political rant. It’s because they love you for giving them the opportunity to “share” their opinions.

Just a golf gag… Wiley, you can’t even see it then. Then what is the golf humor? He is golfing in the house? He is using a Nike ball? He is turned the wrong way for a slice? Was the SEC calling to check this average Joe’s handicap?

LOL?

Why would any CEO need a personal assistant to help run a company? The company only has millions of employees. He gets millions - he should be able to just snap his fingers and turn the company around! Must be a lazy golfing slacker.

The President - what does he need secret service and 50 or so czars for? The country is only 300 million people. Must be a lazy golfing slacker. He has only golfed 32 times already…

Replace that portrait with a Presidential seal. Then maybe you will realize that it’s not just a golf gag.

You are a great comic writer, but ease up on the propaganda.

Oh yeah, she’s good alright….but can she fix an oil leak??

Hey Wiley! I didn’t know you knew my brother-in-law!

Au Contraire, for the EA to be perfect she should have corrected his golf swing first! That is what he finds most interesting, then the other “stuff” that he has to deal with. I know this because I was the perfect EA in a past life. From the look on his face his concern is the swing…….

Great strip Wiley, thanks.

Wiley, GREAT cartoon! apologies for following political remark: yeah stebon, Bush left the country is such good shape and look how quickly Obama has trashed it… LOL. back on subject, what i know about golf is zilch, but does he swing club from the right to the left? if so, that must be one h e double toothpicks of a slice! and that must be a nice office if it’s big enough to practice a full swing!

Wiley-

Thank you for this ‘toon and all the others. Your strip is the first one I look at in the A.M., helps me set the tone for the day!
