Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 14, 2016

Note to Danae: Never ask a question unless you are prepared for whatever answer you might get.

Wait ‘til he’s 16 Danae. But, Night, as old age creeps, it does go back to that earlier imagination.

I’d think Danae would share Jeff’s enthusiasm for these grandiose, pleasurable fantasy scenarios, but would change the main human characters to girls.

Seriously, Wiley, seriously…Not even one little girl in Jeffrey’s mind?….?

Now, I know this was written in ought 12, and mores may have changed since then….,Time is playful, if nothing else…. But, hey, That just may be a female squid stopping the whale from eating the flying monkeys and ugly little snakes……..BTW, do we think that’s a squid or an octopus?….Have at it, Willy Bears! I respect your opinions….

And for the record, I don’t see even one booger in Jeffrey’s brain!….No wonder he bugs her……

Let’s throw in an extra flying saucer.

He reads lots of books

Just wait ‘til you’re 64…. there’ll be so much more

It’s just the usual noises in here.(obscure Tom Petty reference)

Or your wife.

You’re very old! I’m 56.

I’m 12 years older then you, and that stuff is still on my mind! It’s fun being a boy, no matter how old you are.

Just wait a few years and if he answers at all honestly, you’ll REALLY regret asking.

(Of course, all that stuff will still be in there too, it will just get interrupted a lot by things that can’t be depicted in the paper).

A little homage to They Might Be Giant ’s Apollo 18 album in the second illustration down?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS9gP-exn6Y

The spaceship at the very top is very, very similar to a Galaxian spaceship, from the french comic books “Khéna et le Scrameustache”. As are the individual saucers coming out of it…looks like Wiley reads ’em all! (here is a link to a picture). http://www.coinbd.com/series-bd/le-scrameustache/la-menace-des-kromoks/images/planche/scrameustache_t8.jpg

His imagination could lead him to be a science fiction author or script writer. Where’s her imagination going to lead her?

I may be old(?) 62, but I refuse to grow up!

Hey, wait, where are the Firesign Theater freaks, commenting about big fried eggs coming out of the side of the ship? Did I miss a meeting?….BTW, thank you, cozmik cowboy…Now I don’t have to octopi my time figuring it out…

65 here… Is that cowboy on the dinosaur an allusion to Genesis’ Land of Confusion video where Reagan does the same? (although it’s a hybrid triceratops/stegasaurus in the video.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHmH1xQ2Pf4

Cool imagination!

Whoa—cool!

You are correct Danae; but, of course, that can be a good adventure.Even from Jeffrey, a boy.

Come on now. I know I am not the oldest here. All those over 83, come out of the woodwork.

I used to have the Life Magazine picture of the squid and whale, played loud Russian music on my “record player” and pretended the picture was the score to the music as I conducted!

That is all sex and death already.
