Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 14, 2020

That’s funny. I thought the only word Homer knows is D’oh.

Love Saint Bert.

Sprechen sie Deutsche?

“St. Bert, …”

Didn’t want people to think that was “God”? Never saw that before.

IT’S A MIRICLE!! I learned to talk while I was knocked out. WOW!

There are actually TONS of St. Berts.

Somehow, Homer sprouted a Hyoid Bone, marvelous.

Gaah!!!. We have now entered the we need to talk phase.

Being ahead of you rime often means your behind the 8 ball.

Who needs a monolith…

Modern English?

That must be what happened to Shirley Maclaine.

Oogah (the matriarch of the tribe): Finally, someone evolved enough that will talk with me.

Anyone else been feeling like Homer lately? Surrounded by Neanderthals in a time of ignorance and tribalism.

In the land of the dumb, the one-word man is king.

Ooga chaka ooga ooga…

The new tribe is kind of upset because their dinner just woke up and started making noises.

By cave dwelling times humans already had speech, contrary to silly movies that have cave people grunting. They were working in groups to hunt and speech would have been a huge help in that regard to planning out the hunt.

I said do you speaka my language? He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite… sandwich.

This string made me think of this scenario (at least the latter panels) back to when I first listened to this song (and have worn it out over the years) – what was it like for the first person to actually form words. Wonder if Wiley is a Pink Floyd fan. And I wonder now in this time, if the lyrics can offer a path forward, “all we need to do is make sure we keep talking.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ7zbzJZsjs

That’s all right.

They brought him back to serve as either Cheap Labor or Lunch, depending on how much trouble he gave them.

He just made their decision easier.
