Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 07, 2022

You really don’t want to know

Cap’n Eddies’s tales are so tall they reach the stratosphere.

What’s in it for the bear? He’s getting the same fish, but has to feed fish to a rider?

Truly, that is not a “Wiley Bear.”

Does the bear get sucked up by a Nor’easter also?

So that explains it. Always wondered.

Thus it is revealed: “Over-bearing” is a old, old family traditional trait.

Best to take Flo’s advice to heart …

If Capt. Eddie got a podcast, he would make millions online peddling conspiracy theories about how school shootings are all fake. But, he’s a lot smarter than that. Right, Alex?

More like the Mariana Trench than a rabbit hole.

“A’ course, in those days, the cat sittin’ on ah shouldahs was a sabre-toothed tigah…”

Keep diggin’, deah …

The guy on the bear’s back is food storage for when there are a shortage of fish.

The bear is saving him for dessert.

Stay tuned to the continuing adventures of Capt’n Eddie.

In our next episode, Capt’n Eddie meets Cliff Clavin to explain the meaning of life and how Cheers wound up on the top of Mount Everest.

Spoiler alert: No yetis were harmed in the filming of this episode.

Notice the resemblance between Cap’n Eddie and his ancestor?

And, if you believe THAT, I’ve got a great bridge for sale…

Teamwork, works.

Live webcams of bears hunting in streams was a lot more “Disney-eque” before higher-resolution showed us all the shredded fish carcasses in the water. We’ll just have to bear with it.

This is the first time i’ve seen one of Wiley’s bears actually eating something. Usually they’re smiling in anticipation of eating some poor slob, or smiling after the fact.

No wonder Eddie is so smart, his ancestors stood on the shoulders of giants

Ah, the first corporate CEO.

Regarding last week’s Sunday episode:

Thanks to the persons who enlightened me about the „Forward“ party, which I had never heard of until that day.

Further research shows that the „Forward“ party has been around since ’22 – and is still preaching pretty much the same thing since ’22 – 1922, that is.

Its current leadership consisting of Andrew Young is even less encouraging.

And thus Grizzly Adams went on to syndication.

The first cooperation between Ursus and Humans. It hasn’t gone as well since, except in Russia.

Hmmm, the frog and the scorpion…

it seems from the first panels that the man was looking for fish, and found that the bear had a corner on them—so maybe they reached a deal where the hunter (with spear) wouldn’t chase the bear away from the fish if they could share?

The fishin’ hole came before the rabbit hole. Nice to know!!

Eddie is a mythologist, a tale teller a mythopoetic.

So how much of the take does the bear get?

The first law of holes, or the law of holes, is an adage which states: “if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.”

Since when have Wiley Bears been THAT friendly?
