Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 19, 2011

I’d find a new park!

Those birds have flamingo’s backwards hinged legs.

Oh look! I found a dollar on the ground! It must be my lucky day…. Another one? Yes! Two dollars! No way… I can’t believe this is happening! And look, they form a line all the way from here to that dark alley… Hm… I’m RICH!

kreole: All birds’ legs hinge backwards

They’re dropping like flies. I’m sure Tippi Hedrin would have appreciated the help. But she never got it.

A true classic.

I hope that park is near Congress.

Who is the real pigeon?

Sandfan, I believe the one with his back to us is Congress.

Mother always said, never take money from strangers!!

The joints in question are their ankles, not their knees.

Grog, good one

It has to be congress because he is throwing money on the ground.

This is the one picture worth a thousand words. Wiley is the genius most artists only think they are.

Goodness, Death is getting lazy!

Brings to mind the song, Poisoning Pigeons in the Park…

Destiny23 your comment brought this song to my mind

Old Men in Speedos

(you may now thank me for the chill going down your spine)

Ah Destiny23, someone else who appreciates the (twisted) genius of Tom Lehrer.

SPOOKY!

They are both enticing “pigeons”.

I always heard “You can’t take it with you” but I didn’t realize it was just going to be buried somewhere else by Death in person.

Wait! That’s a shadow, not a hole. So Death just takes it and throws it anywhere He wants to. Maybe a homeless person will pick it up. That makes me feel better.

Now I’m going to have Tom Lehrer’s song in my head all day.

Just trolling for turkeys, actually. Also having problem clearing Lehrer form mental I-pod.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee….

I’ll the be the first to admit that I can be a little slow on the uptake during the weekend, so can someone please explain this strip to me? I love Non-Sequitur and can usually grasp it, but this one has me stymied.

It was just suggested to me that the strip is supposed to symbolize the impending death of the dollar bill, due to the expense of printing it. Anyone?
