Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 13, 2011
Transcript:
Danae: Hey, Jeffrey, can you... Jeffrey: No, I won't send you back to yesterday. Danae: How'd you know I was going to ask that? Jeffrey: 'Cuz we're stuck in a time loop...you already went back to give yourself the answers to a test you failed today. Danae: Whoa...so why didn't it work? Jeffrey: It's a conundrum of space-time logic. The past can't be changed because it already happened, so no matter what you do, it'll stay the same and you end up back where you started, repeating it over and over again. The only way to stop this time loop is to not send you back again... Danae: Wait, wait... Ah...I get it... ...That means it's your fault I failed the test. Jeffrey: Which brings us to the conundrum of girl logic...

“Girl logic”? There’s no such thing, Jeffrey …
pouncingtiger almost 14 years ago
“Girl logic” is an oxymoron.
halavana almost 14 years ago
not much different than “boy logic” both have problems with just plain logic Jeffrey being a rare exception

I’ve been reading this strip for years and it took until today to realize that I…married…Danae!

Let’s Do The Time Warp Again…..
It’s astounding, time is fleeting Madness takes its toll But listen closely, not for very much longer I’ve got to keep control
I remember doing the Time Warp Drinking those moments when The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling Let’s do the time warp again… Let’s do the time warp again!
It’s just a jump to the left And then a step to the right With your hands on your hips You bring your knees in tight But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane, Let’s do the Time Warp again!
It’s so dreamy, oh fantasy free me So you can’t see me, no not at all In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention Well-secluded, I see all With a bit of a mind flip You’re there in the time slip And nothing can ever be the same You’re spaced out on sensation, like you’re under sedation Let’s do the Time Warp again!
Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink He shook me up, he took me by surprise He had a pickup truck and the devil’s eyes. He stared at me and I felt a change Time meant nothing, never would again Let’s do the Time Warp again!

If that’s true then McCoy couldn’t save Edith Keeler and she couldn’t delay the United States entry into the Second World War and so Germany didn’t capture the world.
Well then there was no need for Kirk & Spock to go back in time to stop McCoy from changing the past after all. But then what happened to the Enterprise then?

Is there such a thing as girl logic?
barbhinkins almost 14 years ago
Just a glitch in the matrix.

If “the past can’t be changed” then what purpose does Jeffrey have for building the Time Looper? That’s boy logic for you…

I cant make movies, either- but I enjoy watching them.

RadioTom, - just HOW much time did you spend on that lengthy, meaningless, comment on a %*!@#$ comic strip?
peter0423 almost 14 years ago
Now, Tucker — be nice. It was actually quite good.
Tammycrookshanks almost 14 years ago
Radio Tom…was that from Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Whatroughbeast almost 14 years ago
Sounds like “girl logic” to me Clark!
ilsapadu almost 14 years ago
I wonder if Tucker read it. You gotta have 30 minutes to kill to read all the comments to this strip almost any day by the time I get here at around 9am. I can say anything I want because I’m sure no one ever makes it this far. So blah blah blah, I think Jeffrey just explained the meaning of life.
JR6019 almost 14 years ago
Yes, The Time Warp is from Rocky Horror Picture Show. We did it recently (again) as a fundraiser for a local theatre that lost it’s building. I played Crimmie, the neck-less narrator.
Clark Kent, if you think there would have been no wars w/out religion, you are naive. Some may use their beliefs as an excuse for war, but they’re really always about the same thing. Greed and power, and sadly that is not going away.

For an interesting take on time travel, check out the novel “How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe” by Charles Yu.

“Girl Logic,” hmmm? Spoken like a true stinky-booger-brained-boy.

OOOO Ooooo - Thrice Apon a Time - Good read.

“Girl logic” was forever set when the very fitst one of them took dietary advice from a talking snake.

The one who is always right who I love and obey would easily understand this logic. I think it is connected with, “I’m overdrawn because you didn’t tell me you didn’t deposit enough in my account for my obvious needs”.

Speaking of time travel, I feel like I’ve lost an hour this morning. See Brewster Rocket.

Danea’s logic says; If a man speaks, and there is no woman there to correct him, Is he still wrong?
MatureCanadian almost 14 years ago
Thirdguy- Absolutely!
For a booger-brained boy, Wiley sure understands the smarter of the species (women)! Laughed at this one again and again. Thanks Wiley.

They told my Mother it was Asperberger’s…negative training it hurts don’t do it.

You related to Nabu?
The way you two drone on and on is mind numbing……..
Just button up now and then and enjoy it for what it is (IF you can understand it)

Would “girl logic” be putting time in a bottle— of Olay?
bmonk almost 14 years ago
@Clark Kent, I’m afraid that, even without anything to believe in, people would find things to fight wars over.

I read it–and noted your comment–you have to skim and skip over what you don’t want.

Jeffrey is aware of the altered timeline due to the Blynovich Limitation effect… Not bad Jeffrey, for a home-built TARDIS.
pouncingtiger almost 14 years ago
Jeffrey knows girls so well at his age. He’s a nerd on electronics and girl psychology.

The branches all exist in the probabilistic universe. The choices & chances that actually happen determine which one is reality. If one of those choices chances to be time travel, the temporal distortion wave destroys civilizations, because you’ve got to be pretty lucky to only screw something up that throws you ‘round the loop of the hurricane when the new reality takes over. Earth is under quarantine to localize the damage until we learn to shoot time travelers on sight. The technology, however is useful for spacecraft maneuvering. Beat the nasty lightspeed limit. 90º+ turns that are so impressive to those without such. Queen Victoria understood.
pbarnrob almost 14 years ago
Time Travelers Strictly Cash.

sayhowUR,
I really enjoy the strips and their messages and a lot of the quick one liners MOST readers add.
You and Nabu, however, never quit droning and pontificating…..
You ruin the flow. Simple as that

Back in time… That’s no crime… Stop a bomb… Kill Hitler’s mom…
But it would be true… And you would rue… Missing something… The flap of a butterfly’s wing…
So here we are… Under the same yellow star… Hoping endlessly for more… And fearing opening the next door…
(I can’t believe Jeffrey doesn’t have a registered copyright on “Time Looper”! You know, the little “R” in a circle. Not so brainy now!)
