Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 21, 2021

Nature often chooses the anomaly with the biggest teeth.

This reminds me of the Gary Larson cartoon in which a dinosaur is standing at a lectern, addressing a conference audience, and saying that everyone present was in trouble, because an asteriod was coming “and we all have brains the size of a walnut”. Not that cranial hyperplasy has done Homo sapiens any good.

Just like a line out of Sherman’s Lagoon!

Discussion came to its natural conclusion.

Is the caveman being pooped out almost immediately? what am I seeing here? Ok, maybe that’s the dinosaur’s foot.

A large purple man eating dinosaur. Barney sure has changed over the years.

Sorry to be so linear, fellow posters, but the USGS says dinosaurs vanished nearly 65 million years before people showed up. The only mammals around during dino time were shrew-sized primates. ’Course, this is just science, and no one likes _*that*_stuff these days…

But if they didn’t exist at the same time how would Bedrock exist? Yaba Daba Do!

Glad we settled that….

Who didn’t see that coming a mile away?

Saurian logic is inescapable!

And they were still smarter than mankind.

Right on Wiley!

It’s a scientific fact. The Earth is only 6,000 years old. The bible says so. Dinosaurs and man existed at the same time

Hate ironic dinosaurs!

The real reasons dinosaurs became extinct: the cholesterol from the Caveman gave him arteriosclerosis and a heart attack. Bypass surgery won’t be invented for a Loooonnnnng time.

That’s the reason there weren’t cavemen during the time of dinosaurs.

Lol! Here today gone tomorrow.

Rational discourse leading to a natural conclusion went extinct about a half decade ago.

Hahahaha! Good one!

Story goes that decades ago FCC required more educational programming, and some stations labeled Flintstones as educational – providing information on life in the stone age… Don’t know that the story is true, but suspect it may explain some creationists.

Anomalies give me gas.

Wouldn’t “anachronism” be more accurate than “anomaly” ?

draws dino’s good

Would have been better with some Thai dipping sauce.

A philosophical discussion with a predator is best done at a distance. One step forward and one step back. …or just step off and mind your own business.

“Survival of the Fastest” (eater).

Somehow I knew this was going to end with the caveman being eaten.

There is a moral here.

oh. so THAT’s what happened to the Neanderthals!

Never argue with success.

I would have gone with “anachronism” being something in the wrong time period.

He’s gonna get heartburn today!!!

Can’t imagine Neanderthals were very tasty.

So, Trump was an anomaly?

I have a what if: what if the dinosaur had survived and man had never came on the scene, what would the dinosaur have evolved into?? Just wondering? remember the dinosaur is a source of our oil today!

that would be a vast improvement to Planet A’s future

The morale of the story, never have an argument with a dinosaur. Right or wrong you will lose.

Good moral lesson, never mess with an anomaly.

Is he the one who hid behind Dilbert’s couch?

A new franchise. Wiley dinosaurs.

Some cave drawings indicate that dinosaurs WERE here when humans were.

Oh, I did need a laugh today! Thank you again, Wiley!

Please! Bring back the dinosaurs!

This is an attack on BC isn’t it?

“URP” and a dust plume indicate Caveman was consumed by “Nature”—who decides. Yes, it is a stupid, dog-eat-dog world.

The real reason no Human and Dinosaur remains have ever been found together.

The dinosaurs ate Everything, including the Bones.

Just like Pigs, in that way.

This is the prehistoric-dinosaur version of a Wiley Bear.

Dinosaurs weren’t much into existential logic.

An intelligent(?) conversation with a dinosaur (Tyrannosaurus, no less)?? In a contest between a caveman and a carnivore the caveman always comes out second.

Like having “nuisance” wildlife (or indigenous communities) in “your” back yard—actually it’s the opposite if they were there first.

(senses an ambiguous ending to the cartoon)

Anachronism

How did the cavemen know all about this stuff he would of had to go to the futer. Everone knows their brains where the size of a wallnut

how did the smoke get where he was standing
