Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 04, 2020

A 450 pound sumo wrestler wearing thong somehow seems wrong

I was wondering where I could fit this in! I just found this meme -

“How December 2020 is going to look like – (Scrawled on a wall in red spray paint) Merry Crisis and a Happy New Fear.”

Somebody asked for a trapeze artist with big breasts.

I hope there’s a net. A very strong net.

And I hope the other trapeze artist isn’t having to face off against a Sumo wrestler in a ring somewhere.

Oh no, I just imagined the other trapeze artist in a mawashi and the Sumo wrestler in tights.

This is a great example of realizing the benefits of cross-training.

Kiss your shoulder joints goodbye.

from that day on, his nickname was stretch

COVID cancelled sumo season?

If there’s a net let him bounce. If there’s not let him splat

I don’t know about trapeze, but… imagine a football team with wall-to-wall sumos for the offensive line. The defense wouldn’t even see the quaterback. That’s what the NY Jets need!

It’s going to be VERY temp work! …depending on how high up they are..

My first thought on seeing this cartoon: This looks like the federal government trying to help small businesses.

One of life’s little incongruities. Opposites attract.

Reminds me of coming back from a long vacation and getting the “hand off” from the on call. Mine’s a bit more white collar though.

Is there su’more to come?

Belly laugh.

OMG – Wiley fat shaming! He’ll lose his Lefty cred if he’s not more careful.

Ouch!

Cue song…Since I fell for you….

Overweight Diane

Why do so many Americans get repulsed by a sumo’s size and attire? Have you seen what walks on America’s summer beaches in a thong?

BYOBB…Bring your own barf bag!

All this info on Sumo costume…did I stumble on a Nipponese version of Wikipedia?

相撲の衣装に関するこのすべての情報…私はウィキペディアの日本版に出くわしましたか？

And that is a sumo wrestlers uniform.

Gonna lose those legs at the knee…

Many years ago I told my now fifty year old son a bedtime story about Honeybear Hershkowitz, the failed 400 lb. aerialist. Now it has been illustrated at last (although Hershkowitz is a rare name among Sumo wrestlers…)

I wouldn’t try to catch him. Sorry!

It’s called a “Mowashi” and it is not a thong. With most sports being cancelled or played weirdly, folks might want to discover sumo: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/9999373/?cid=wohk-gg-us-dsa_site_en
