Goddesses are WAAAAYYY older than Gods. Athene and Aphrodite were way older than Zeus in the original matriarchal triple moon goddess cults. Then invaders from the steppes came in with their bull and ram gods, installed patriarchal institutions, and the old, old myths were reworked to fit that newer paradigm.
Something weird here—the Non Sequitur for Jan 4 in the LA Times is completely different from this one. I was actually looking forward to reading the comments for the Times version, which is WAY more provocative than this one!

I know it’s just a comic, but a well next to a sheer cliff just looks so odd……

Be careful what you wish for.

He was decidedly committed, most definitely not to her though.

To keep divorce lawyers out of work, just find someone you can’t stand and give them a house.

No worry, folks. He is fine. Difficult to do serious injury with a three foot drop off the edge. Grab the other ankle and pull him up.

Be careful what you pray for because prayers are answered and God has a sense of humor. After all, He/She created us.

Best bumper sticker ever. When God made man first, SHE was only kidding.

Sometimes being committed means getting committed. Stay sharp people.

Didn’t she think it was a bit suspicious that Ye Olde Wishing Well was in such close proximity to Lovers Leap?

Funny cartoon. Finally a non-political and non-religious bashing cartoon. Oh darn….shouldn’t have read the comments.

It’s a WISHING well, NOT a PRAYER well.

I guess she wasn’t his wish!

Maybe her wish was his command?
MuddyUSA Premium Member almost 4 years ago
Actually she is is wishing for a man, he leaped for loss of his woman!

This looks like a get-away-at-all-costs move rather than a commitment. Beware of wishful thinkers.

Would it have been a lot easier just to tell him to get lost.

Wishing wells are not run by gods, but by faries.

Gail wanted her man to commit to stop taking Selfie’s. That’s why his shoes are pointing up, he backed up a little too close to the edge. Aaaaaaaaaa….

So…he leapt, only to find, it was just a 36" drop.

Am I the only one (other than maybe eddi_tbh) reading “commit” as “commit suicide” and thinking it’s in rather bad taste?
