Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 02, 2021

The snake was able to tie a tie. That’s enough hyper-divisiveness for new. Better not push it.

He’s lucky they all have beer.

Pray. And run fast.

Rat, it’s not Zootopia yet.

Just as well. That didn’t seem like a real Fab Four place (maybe he should try looking for the Let it Beetle pub).

Well, at least he wasn’t quite too late smart.

Some predators. You’d think the entire bar would be heading for the exit right after him

Love the teeth on the ‘c’ and the two ’e’s at the top.

Aaah, the ever far-to-vocal minority of the group. Pity the loudest don’t catch a hint in reality.

You got something there, Wiley. There are definite times that you can burst out with a rendition of “Born Free” and obvious times when one should shut up and blend in with the scenery.

Hmm. He’s a rat. The bears and the croc probably don’t care. The snake and the wolf might care, but might not. The cat would care.

Reality bites.

In his case, it’s pray, not prey! LOL

So … nothing changes?

Know what to kiss, and when [Deteriorata, National Lampoon, 1972]

If I walk into a Chicago bar wearing a Green Bay Jersey and then decide to leave, it doesn’t mean I have no right to be there or that I’m afraid. It just means I accept the reality of social discomfort and awkward silence. …and I’m not a fool with my ccw.

When you see pictures of deer gnawing on bones, you start to wonder who’s supposed to be the prey.

Snake wears glasses. I love to see him tie a tie.

Moral of the story: If you’re going to be a nonconformist, make sure you’re too big to get eaten.

The squeaky wheel gets eaten.

Be whatever you wish, but you still have to squat to pee.

That is one way of getting out of not paying for your beer.

Never shout “free speech” at a crowded funeral; it could be yours.

Hopefully. But it’s more like a pendulum than a slingshot.

Now we know where Rat from Pearls before Swine goes for a beer.

I looked at the snake in panel 4 and thought of Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent. I read a few Cecil and Beanie comic books when I was a kid. Does anyone else even remember them?

Vaccinated or Unvac… poof!

Crocodiles (and alligators) are not green.

Damn! In his haste he spilled his beer.

And now we have a Wylie bear with a wily beer.

Ha, ha, ha. Divisiveness is funny.

I love how the cat is drinking red wine…probably very finicky about the vintage, too…

Should’ve taken the gamble on finishing his beer. Waste not!

I try to never to make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect. Those that makes the most noise and is the most intrusive is invariably the person who has no respect themselves.

This is kinda reflective of a Caspar Milquetoast or Mr. Bean sitting in a biker bar.

Learn to read the room, Maus?

I like how the street outside is “One Way” .. both ways.

Dictums?? Surely, such an educated rat would know the plural form is dicta, although in the present day, I suppose it’s irrelevant?

Gives a whole different perspective on “Animal House”.

I’m sick of numbers defining me. My age, weight, murder convictions, bodies buried in my basement. These things ARE NOT who I am!

The two herbivores were wearing Hawaiian shirts… Just an observation.

Yup. Facts actually matter.
