Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 24, 2022

Two people can figure out how to get along. As soon as there’s a third, though, two of them will form a “get along” to oppose the other.

A “friend” of mine says that democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.

An autocracy is just one wolf, and whatever sheep come to hand.

Looks like Biden is on top again… and he’s got the nuts to prove it.

Typical. In the end they always end up fighting each other.

What no face paint?

The guy on the tree must be a Mutts reader.

’It’s my turn to be the Grand Poobah!’

Great cartoon, Wiley! You’ve managed to capture the essence of the U.S. Congress!

Well, at least they’re on an island so the shaman can protect his sensitive tummy from any non-vegan food.

No wonder the trolls feel left out. Don’t know which hand is doing what so they just end up twiddling their thumbs.

Reminds me of a certain governmental institution in a fairy-tale land on the Potomac.

I’ll just bring up “Lord of the Flies.”

More like a snit.

Hey, it’s my turn to be outraged.

What! No orange skin?

We’d be more successful if we did it together. And it needs to be done. The roots of the Tree of Liberty are thirsty for tyrant blood, and there’s plenty on both sides of the aisle.

PATHETIC!!!

“The trouble with democracy is that they let folks vote for the guy what I don’t like.” – Archie Bunker

I am always interested in the media hype for the ‘insurrection’, yet we remember vividly the riots that swept the nation for BLM and Antifa that involved municipal buildings, police stations with burning and looting not to mention the many businesses that were destroyed. But oddly, that means little today despite us all learning that the feds were involved in whipping up the crowd and leading them into the capital building where the capital police were told to let them in. We can not deny these things. They happened. I am pretty sure that the left is intent on having a one party rule. Oh wait a minute, that is what we have, No checks and balances here.And just why are we sending our athletes to China as they continue to threaten Taiwan?And now Anal Swabs for our people when they arrive! WTH!?Nothing is making sense anymore!

I guess that was decided by a vote.

A little-known fact from the dark days of WW2 is that John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Richard J. Daley all served in the US Navy in the Pacific theater and were in fact all aboard the same frigate when it was sunk by the Japanese. By chance, they found themselves sharing a lifeboat. Taking stock of the inventory, they realized that they had only enuf provisions for a single person to survive until he reached the nearest friendly island. So, as staunch American believers in democracy, each man gave a speech as to why he should be the one to get the boat while the other 2 jumped overboard. Then they voted. The results were Kennedy, 1; Nixon, 1; and Daley, 243.

Good one!

Yosemite Sam as Robinson Crusoe.

Seems more like “Failed Democracy Island.”

Don’t forget the election nullification laws.

And an insurrection on that island will get ‘em about as far as the last one. If an insurrection takes place on an island and there’s no one around to witness it, did it really happen?

Is that Wilbur?

Also, insurrectionists apparently don’t bring torches or other weapons to burn buildings (that’s for “mostly peaceful” protesting) or any other weapons or instruments of major destruction or death, or other means for actually taking control and holding it — wait, what’s an insurrection for again? — got the hat right, though.

It’s not an Insurrection as much as it is a major Evolutionary movement precipitated by all the intense Environmental pressures we’ve only created for ourselves in our incredibly foolish ways and love of ignorance.
