Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 10, 2017

And the most delusional of all is the combover squelchy.

I’m surprised that he didn’t build a wall around your princessdom.

With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot…

He said he was going to drain the swamp, not create new ones.

Well I see I have the answer to my unposted question from yesterday. “Not long at all.”

That landscape looks a lot like that workers paradise of democracy and free enterprise. Russia

so this is what happens when the democrats win. glad it didn’t happen here.

Look on the bright side, Jill. The 1 percent is being reduced to the 1/2 percent.

akhenderson: and gold. lots of gold. i know it’s not in the lyrics…

You mean the Giant #NotMyMessiah!

This strip soon to be moved to ‘Political’ section. Be sure to follow.

“Say, you don’t suppose that the giant squelchy is some sort of metaphor, do you?”

—Captain Obvious

Reminds me of the Lorax.

How will we know when America is great again?

The bright Orange Squelchy who loved oil and Russians.

Bye Wiley. It was nice knowing you.

Didn’t expect to feel so sad about this one

I’ll take that bet.

The delusion is the writer of this strip. How is America great, with nearly 100 million people out of work? Trump has only been president about a month, the destruction you people see, was caused by 8 years of dimocrats running roughshod over it.

It is sad to see someone as talented and clever as Wiley succumb to TDS.

I was wondering how long it was going to take before the political pot-shots started.

Will Wiley ever get over the election? Stay tuned…

This delusion is going on too long.

Wow, didn’t realize how omnipotent the Great Trump is. Before you know it people will be saying he can raise the dead. Golly gee whiz thank you all for pointing it out.

Jill, we’d like to introduce you to this nice man, Mr. Pruitt.

It’s amazing how most people have forgotten Three Mile Island, flaming rivers from noxious dumping, dead fish washing up on the shores of the Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay being fouled, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the Exxon mess on the west coast. They’re probably right: what’s most important is what the kardashians are wearing and whether ivanka’s line is being sold in . . . wherever. ..

Delusional is a great way to describe this strip.

“…destroy paradise build a parking lot…” – anyone remember that song?

Obviously, Wiley is hoping to have a hand in PREVENTING bad things from happening! As for Pruitt, does he know anything about science? No. Does he want to learn anything about science? No. Even if he wanted to learn about science, is he capable of learning about science? No.

Is Jill an adult now? Like her childhood/innocence was taken with the forest? Hmmm

I’m done with Wiley, sort of like I’m done with Starbucks and my local newspaper. I read the comics to get away from politics. I have read this strip for years and have for the most part enjoyed his work. He has chosen his side of the divide and its time for those on the other side to spend their time elsewhere. No one on either side of the divide in 1850 expected what happened just 10 years later. America was safe then to expend 620,000 lives arriving at an outcome. We no longer have two oceans and two borders protecting us so who knows how this one will turn out. Over and Out.

Not get your way? No prob, revolt and take the votes from the Mr. T electorate, blame it on the Ruskies, and insist on your idea of greatness to prevail and take over everything. Which wins first, global climate change or national collapse from stupidity that guarantees global climate change continues?

Wow. With the number of snowflakes here today, it’s a virtual blizzard. Seriously? THIS cartoon gets you that upset? It’s hardly a broadside. It barely alludes to Trump. You folks need to get a grip…and a sense of humor.

Jill looks a lot older and worn down. Reflecting the landscape she’s living in. BTW: Bruno Zeigerts, are you still banned? How does someone get “unbanned”? I always looked forward to your comments.

I read the comics to get away from the stresses of the real world. I purposely avoid the political comics due to their decidedly one sided view of current events (either far left or far right). I really don’t like that Wiley is taking this road…Please leave politics out of your otherwise brilliant humor.

I don’t mind the political commentary when it’s funny and let’s face it – when compared to “real” people, politicians do a lot of funny things.

.

Humor is normally based on suddenly derailing of the train of logic – you don’t see the joke coming until it hits you like the clichéd pie-in-the-face. This one was very predictable. Maybe the exact dialog couldn’t be guessed, but I don’t think there was a reader here who didn’t see a “Dump on Trump” coming. It’s just that this one fell flat – it doesn’t have the socially redeeming “ha-ha.”

.

Don’t get me wrong – I really dislike the guy and I hate to admit as a Christian, that I take delight seeing him wipe egg off his face or watch as his staff sweat, stammer and wiggle to apologize on his behalf and attempt damage control efforts on par with trying to save the Titanic. It’s far more entertaining than reality TV.

You keep going, Wiley. Keep drawing your perception and your conscience. Those partisans who threaten to desert a sinking ship are delusional. The ship isn’t sinking.

@DFLAK

You do realize that neither Trump nor any of his advisors (nor the Russian war criminal Putin) are Christians, right?

Remember the golden rule , WHOEVER HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES.

Just had to go there. I’m getting really tired of seeing my havens from politics polluted.

Place looks like the Stonetalon Mountains in the goblin area.

Making political comments is all very well……. but please remember that the United States is not the only country in the world and that most other people don’t understand what you’re talking abut!

I’m enjoying the adverbs used in the ‘continuation’ lines. As far as the political aura, it’s almost always been used in this strip. It’s healthy to poke fun at the so-called mighty (unless you live in Russia or Red China!)

“…to be delusionally continued….” Delusionally??? Of course! They are in Jill’s Magical Woods of Niceness, safe space for liberals, so “delusional” seems appropriate.

Uh, Yeah – it’s great. 20 trillion in debt with nothing to show for it, an anemic market, racial polarization, magic wands needed to get jobs, a new normal, spying on Americans, weaponizing government against citizens. Wow – I knew cartoonists drew fantasies; I didn’t know they lived in them.
