Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 16, 2018

Conjure up a blizzard

This is getting GOOD!

This certainly won’t be over by Christmas, maybe Easter. Nice story Wiley. I like it

Please, wake me up when Danae is back

I thought I knew all along where this strip was going and I like it!!!!

I thought the purpose of funny pages was for the art to be funny. Learned something new today!

Wiley, I hope that when this wonderful story is completed here, you publish it in book form. It’s a wonder-filled Christmas present.

Love Nebbish sitting on a tortoise conjuring butterflies. Simple soul.

The ‘temptations of ego’ are in full bloom in D.C. The proof appears several times daily on the ever popular Twitter app. It is the perfect fit for Buttercup and others who just can’t wait to express their every stray thought to the world. I am grateful because it has given the innocuous term, twitterpated, an entirely new definition.

Terrific artwork, better than Watterson at his best!

I’m trying really hard to be interested in Nebish.

Winter is coming!

So I suppose the last panel is depicting The Traipse of Wrath…?

“Yes…power ultimately corrupts.” Riddle: what is orange, corrupt, and puts multiple periods at the end of a long tweet?

I hate it when comic artists try to be profound.

So, Peter Jackson has taken over scripting duties, I see.

“Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”(But we NEED electricity!)

It’s Fantasy not Politics. I will take fantasy any time, I sleep better.

This is awesome. I’m loving this story and the art is great.

OK, probably not Tilda Swinton. Helen Mirren? Vanessa Redgrave?

This is starting to have look and feel of ‘One Tin Soldier’ from Billy Jack.

It is amazing those who have no patience. Our culture inundates us with data, but also with pressure to move along, to rush around and not contemplating anything. Just quick decisions then move on. And those who are bored. But instead of just moving along they like to leave their comment. We get the well thought out and the usual dross that clogs it. The dross, the anger, the snap judgement all are there for anyone to see, collect and analyze. Such are the benefits and drawbacks of the Information Age. I thank Wiley for giving us an ancient story yet all his own. A universal story much wider than contemporary politics in a failing republic.

Proof that this strip is properly named.

Some of the most profound wisdom is found in the “funny papers”. Books have been written about it: “The Gospel According to Peanuts” and those written about “Calvin and Hobbes”. There are plenty of others. I come to the comics to be entertained and to be taught by the artists and by my fellow commenters. This Wiley arc is a particularly good one, so I’m a happy camper!

If you create a Heaven, the Universe will attempt to Balance it by offering up a Devil.

This arc is failing miserably.

That’s ‘folderol’, not falderal. Falderal is leaf lard.

I never saw the work of Wiley Miller until this year. His relentless genius and irony has me in its grip. As a 10 year old, I followed the original Walt Kelly strips when he was doing McCarthy satires- well because of my mother and father. Jules Feiffer was my muse. Ronald Searle… Barsotti.. Roz Chwast..,Thank you Mr. Miller. I wish my mother and father could enjoy you now. Your pen line is to brilliant and your mind is a national treasure. p.s. I think the Nebbish story is a cliff hanger.

this story is dragging on a bit but I love the artwork
