Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 16, 2020

Are those “corona mines” in the water?

Happy Thought – there is two and a half months left in this year! Deeply Depressing Thought – COVID will NOT be over.

Take heart: It may take a long time to get across this river…

I’ve always wondered, what happens if you can’t pay the ferryman? You stay alive and don’t get to go to Hades?

“And Daryl, STOP HUMMING Come Sail Away!”

Don’t Pay the Ferryman, Chris de Burgh :-)

I hope they brought a few coins for the boatman.

This is another 2020 budget cruise.

To ship a reference and make a pun, “We are going to need a bigger boat.”

Styx and stones will break your bones. And internet words will forever harm you.

At least it won’t kill them, again.

A military flashbomb has nothing on that headlight in terms of candlepower.

Hey, he’s not our regular gondolier.

He has Blue Oyster Cult on his boat PA system.

All Hallow’s Eve is going to be a regular program for a long time. Prayers for the fallen and those who care for them.

“It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine!”….R.E.M.

C’est la vie, n’est-ce pas?

First almost funny strip in weeks! And it’s about time!

2₵ beez a fair ferry fare.

Is this what is meant by, “Going with the flow.”

I wonder what he does with all the money. Is he saving up to retire, or maybe he has a nice off-duty wardrobe.

“But Rita, this is our last boat ride, lets enjoy it.”

Yup. That is absolutely the wrong place to “hunker down”. Probably to late anyway.

The virus styx it to us all.

All she wanted was a midnight cruise.

from the end of November to January 20 will be a ride from Hell and the worse is yet to be.

Book me a ride. At least that way it’ll be peaceful.

That joke’s yugely funny out in the Styx.

At this point, we don’t have much of a choice but to ride it out while taking reasonable precautions not to fall out of the boat.

Princess Cruise Lines – the early days!

I hope you paid the ferryman well enough that he will put all his skill at avoiding the covid mines floating around.

They were late for the 3 Hour Tour, so they took a Styx Cruise instead.

" Because Biden is the senile one" Hey Braindead, you forgot to put ¿ .

In Heinlein’s The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, during the war/invasion, the narrator’s young wife was killed, but “Kitchen knife in her hand had blood on it—I think she had time to pay Ferryman’s Fee.”

The ending is the same for everyone so you might as well enjoy the ride.

Why is the name “Daryl” used so frequently in comics?

Interesting looking life forms in the water.

Just go with the flow. Sit back, chill and look forward maybe to renewing old acquaintances.

By the way Mr. Reaper, I’m Daryl. Nice boat. Could you serenade us with “Row Row Row Your Boat”. Unless you are a detail guy and have to go with Pole Pole Pole…

When you get to the other side, you can just have a drink (from Lethe) and forget about it.

You pay the ferryman (no he doesn’t take credit cards or bills) usually drachmas (Greek coin).Then he brings you before the 3 judges who then decide your fate Hades or Elysium.

Are those mines or large COVID-19 viruses floating in the water?

Maybe Styx the band will be playing…of course, THAT could be hell depending on one’s taste in music…

I like the little Covid Virii floating in the water. Nice Touch.

A voyage down the river Styx may be the last thing they do

I like the little Covid-19 molecules floating in the water. :-)

This is the first time a see the boat in the “Covid 19 lake” I guess it goes with the current theme

(senses metaphors for describing life in general in this cartoon)

Love this image, Mr. Miller! Made me laugh!
