Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 19, 2010

Bug-eyed Kate and Danae are a hoot. The Sacred Vessel sounds like something left lying around by Indiana Jones….

Spitoon?

NAY-CHAW kept me puzzled for a while, had to mumble it to figure it out. Maine accent is sooo different from the Oxford English they teach over here in Germany

Nah! It has to be…

Let the speculation commence anew!

Hmmm; a Walnut Shell? Or an Acorn? Has to be ubiquitous, found everywhere. Or is it manufactured? The Campbell’s Tomato Soup can (re-sealed)? At least the Copenhagen can has a lid that could be closed. Will it need air-holes?

Gawd but I love this strip, the characters, the magnificent art, the wit……makes my day to begin with this…

^Well, he did say Nay-Chaw, so that would indicate something not artificial (sorry Copenhagen). And he did say it was ubiquitous, so it should be something found all over the world. Hmmmmm.

not only found in “Nay Chaw”, but it also has to last……. and contain….. so acorns wouldn’t work, maybe a geode?

Ok, he substitutes E’s with A’s, so it should sound like NEH CHEW? Still doesn’t make sense.

What if it was something as small as a thimble? Or a shot glass? The ekert would have to go on a radical weight loss diet…

A pringles can.

The shed it was found in?

Sacred VESSEL, like maybe a BOAT… although it seems to be a sacred vessel of nature… Hmmmm… Still, could be the good Captains VESSEL… I can’t second guess Wiley but I do like how he makes my brain do flips. Can’t wait to see what the S.V.O.N. REALLY is.

You are all missing it, don’t you know where you go, “When Nay-Chaw calls?”

Boy , SOMEONE must not want me to tell what I think, because It won’t let me load my comments. Just because I think the Vessel of Nature is an Oooommmph! (Slugged, tied-up and mouth duct-taped to prevent SPOILERS!)

Well the only sacred vessel in my life is made of porcelain… I visit it regularly… mmm more fiber.

Hey Doc - are you OK? Doc? Doc? I hear a noise at the door. Let me go answer …..

maybe it’s one of those single shoes you see lying on highways. i always wonder where the other one went.

This ekert story is getting old. Time to move on.

Doesn’t anyone remember where this story line began?

Also, is a yes-way something like a segue?

Flo seems to recognize the picture – did she ever see the shed?

It’s Fenway!!

A gozunda!

yup. outhouse, shed, portapotty, ceramic throne. okay. at least we’re leaving this beat-to-death-boring string for a while. like i sed, have eddy stuff him back in the shed and get on with it.

Wiley: I knew the guesses were wrong. I’ll just wait (im) patiently for tomorrow.

Yea, I’ll wait too. Now I have no clue what it is!!!

I don’t know why, but I’m thinking beehive.

my guesses are and out house or white house. this is the second time to pot this guess in wonder why it didn’t take the first time?

In this age of rapid flow of information and images, there are those who are impatient with the pace of an old fashioned newspaper cartoon. Can’t please everyone, I guess. I think this story line has been provocative and fun. Thanks, Wiley!

Ditto, harrietbe.

I believe it was said that “thousands were made every year” to hide the occupied one in the overwhelming number of unoccupied ones. That implies manufacturing to me, so the tank/float/lid of a bathroom fixture could work…but I don’t think so.

Bleach bottle?

The Ekert was in a shed previously. What’s it gonna be this time?

^^^^@ ElDo - Aaaah! Stop saying the word!

;)

I vote shed it was in before or gold mine in Chile.

Maybe it is the space between my ears. That would hold a lot right now.

The shed, ITS SO OBVIOUS

Whatever it is, it was a fun imaginative story line, and I think we had a lot of fun trying to guess the next twist in the plot. Thanks Wiley!!

Too funny! I still think we’re back to the little shack with the board against the door (it probably worked for decades before the girls found it).

possibly, a chamber pot?

It’s not nice to fool Mothah Nay-Chaw. Hidden in Dena Dietrich’s butter dish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLrTPrp-fW8

I notice that Captain Eddie is making a circular motion with his pencil. I wonder if that’s significant. Maybe it’s another planet. That might explain the “Whoa! Wait a minute”, as in how do we do that. Maybe this is where Lars steps in to help.

I wonder if the vessel of Nay-chaw has ever been portrayed in those “Before Eve” strips. An empty pizza box, maybe?
