Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 24, 2021

I’d call it a body double, but yeah.

Love Wiley’s details. The mouse hanging from the cats mouth

Aha. THAT explains it!

(I had always imagined that she had already pick-pocketed his spare change and was just waiting to get OUTA there.)

Leonardo is shown here painting with his left hand, but he was actually ambidextrous and could write R-to-L with his left hand while his right hand was doing L-to-R.

I’ve known a few cats that would have made Leonardo blush.

How will he ever capture that gentle purr?

clever

Her name was Lisa, not Mona.

Cheshire Mona

Hmmm. Is she depicted as “Mona miffed by Muffy”? Or is that chagrin? Pique? Vexation? Befuddlement? Disquisitiveness? Resignation? …..

Poor Kirstin Sinema won’t understand this comic.

Rumor has it that Leonardo painted the model in the nude and then painted her clothes over the naked form in the portrait. From what I’ve read and heard about Leonardo, this is at least plausible.

Bob Ross would have a happy little tree on the model stool.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the Mona Lisa painting is sort of boring? (..and why doesn’t anyone name their kid Mona Lisa? Mona Lisa Mcgillicuddy, for instance)

I taught myself to write with my left hand in Summerian, Cryllic with my right while speaking Mandarin. I designed plans for an anti-gravity ship that I sent to the President. I could tell you more, but my crayon broke and the attendants won’t bring me another one.

The actual painting is not that big.

A couple of decades ago, I read a short story in which a couple hires a guide to lead them to a cave in Italy. In the cave are a lot of pieces of wood that have to be put together & 23 paintings. They put it all together & they discover they have a zoetrope made by DaVinci. A zoetrope is an early version of a movie. But it had space for 24 paintings & as they revolved the zoetrope, the figure in the paintings raised & lowered her top, showing off her breasts. The missing painting was of course the Mona Lisa & DaVinci had created the world’s first soft core porn movie!

Purrfect, Wiley!

Always wondered if Leo made her Moan

the cat sat still for how long?

The first time a cat interrupted a Zoom painting?

That and the “no eyebrows”.

The perfect enigmatic smile is what you see when someone is peeing in the pool.

such a possibilty!

Never mind that.Which animal posed for Munch’s THE SCREAM??

I thought it was great and I love DaVinci

It’s true…that smile HAD to come from a cat! And I love how it’s a cat who has successfully caught a mouse…

What’s the stunt?

When it comes down to it I prefer cats.

Ah, a CAT! I knew it…

Mehitabel reincarnate, yet again.
