Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 11, 2010
Transcript:
Danae: I have a theory on why girls are perfect and boys are stinky booger-brains... Joe Pyle: Whoa! First of all... Victoria: Wait, Joe... I want to hear this. Danae: Since it's body chemistry that makes boys and girls different, the only rational conclusion is that... Testosterone makes you dopey. Joe: I suppose when you read a newspaper or watch TV, it's hard to disagree... Victoria: Ahh... Know your audience, what a smart man! Joe: Which, ironically, disproves the theory! Victoria: Mm-hmm... either that or you need to check your testosterone levels... Joe: Sigh.

Should have quit while you were ahead, Joe. Accept it, you can’t win.

Open mouth, insert foot…

Said theory only covers half of the issue. If Testosterone makes you dopey, what does Estrogen do to you?

I think I used to hang out with those guys.
I got into too much trouble.
g.iangoodson over 14 years ago
Get out now Joe! No-one needs a smart-a*se feminist.
pouncingtiger over 14 years ago
I agree, iangoodson.

Joe was clearly outnumbered 3 to 1 on this one….and I’m not even counting the two girls.

I always tell people that , “If they had’ve gelded me when I hit puberty, I’d be a billionaire by now”

Poor Joe - I remember having a wife and two young daughters. The only male in the house except for the dog, and even he had been fixed - but then again, so had I.

Enough male-bashing for today.

There’s the woman’s mantra: The woman is always right. And its corollary: The man is always wrong.

the only thing of consequence that males do is pass dna from one female, their mothers, to another. between times they may go out to get something to eat. except for some species such as the black widow spider and the praying mantis, females have not kept males in their place.

You men, better check how much testosterone level you have now?
mikdeeps over 14 years ago
Submachine I’m with you on this one.After all what is good for the gander is good for the goose
Trebor39 over 14 years ago
Male/Female bashing. It’s a two way street.
runar over 14 years ago
If a man speaks in a forest and there’s no woman to hear him is he still wrong?

DocToon,,, The only thing I can figure is they are paying the bills or you are a masochist.

Good one runar :)
My theory is that the estrogen can cause irrational and potentially life altering decision making once a month which is why most divorces are initiated by women.

NON SEQUITUR - a perfect name for this strip

@joanalos, Absolutely.
I really did LOL at this one. A couple of weeks ago I heard bits of an interview with someone who wrote a book about ants. I think he said that all the ants you see are females, because males in the ant world only have a single function, and once they’ve performed it, there’s no point in having them around. Gives performance anxiety a new meaning.

He’s obviously running a little low.

Never mind the pets. My question is whether the house is big enough for his collections of comics.

You can almost SMELL the bras being burned by the bitter, angry feminists (note that I did NOT use the term “feminazi”; you’re welcome!).
CatComixzStudios over 14 years ago
On the other hands, guys, now we have an excuse for doing stupid things or forgetting things.
Wife: Why didn’t you take out the trash? Husband: Huh? My testosterone is acting up. I feel too stupid right now.

I just realized why I distrust Victoria. She bears a certain resemblance to Martha Stewart who I disdain.
lonecat over 14 years ago
Great drawings, as usual.
I’m all in favor of a little androgyny. On both sides.
alviebird over 14 years ago
She did say, “EITHER that OR…”, and I think it was done lovingly.
marvee over 14 years ago
the bird22, good observation.
trebor said, “Male/female bashing, it’s a two-way street”. Right! and there has been at least as much female bashing in these comments as male bashing.
myming over 14 years ago

Lurah over 14 years ago
Love your brain!
andymeijers over 14 years ago
smug and condescending does not a good wife make. I’m liking Victoria less and less since she got the Mom haircut.
DarthSequitur over 14 years ago
myming: Victoria is Joe’s fiancee. She has been a member of the cast for many months, though my memory is not good enough to say exactly how long.
Wiley creator over 14 years ago
Smug and condescending?
It’s playful banter between boyfriend and girlfriend! And… IT’S A COMIC STRIP!
freeholder1 over 14 years ago
Obviously pricked someone’s Testy-osterone, Wiley.
JP Steve Premium Member over 14 years ago
Victoria too!
myming over 14 years ago

man and woman the same side of a two-sided coin,,, fear and loathing do we chide sweet birth of our own loin?…
firedome over 14 years ago
okay…i now think i know what those commercials about “low T” mean. :)
firedome over 14 years ago
btw…wiley, i just saw your comment on one person’s opiunion of victoria’s amusing little assessment of joe’s response…i, too, thought on the lines of some of the witty repartee of the classic screwball comedies of the ‘30’s and ‘40’s. i still love stuff like that to this day!
rotts over 14 years ago
I like “Grody” and “Snarky” for Seven Dwarves’ names.
mlswartz_99 over 14 years ago
Run Joe, run… Nothing good is going to come from this relationship.
