Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 07, 2023

Is that Paul Simon’s boxer in the suit?

With a side of echo chamber

The first GOP convention has begun early.

Love how only the guy seeking wisdom is drawn full-color. It adds to the irony.

Aren’t we missing a bear?

The Wiley Bear’s have set up a bar along the easiest route away from the selective hearing guru.

As Bill Maher has said “What has science ever done for us?”

Truth reinterpreted, revised, and regurgitated. Awful brew but somehow enticing to large populations.

Stupidity has been with us humans as long as there have been humans. The internet simply makes it much easier to find.

Our local young male black bear likes doing tree dances on our neighbor’s tree, just off their rear deck, puts on quite the show but wants snacks instead of tips.

Selective Hearing crowd can also be found buying the torches and pitchforks merch. Vendors will throw in a red hat with each purchase.

But I just want to go up and enjoy the view.

“I got a friend who’s a genius

Nobody listens to him

I got some friends that got famous

La la lala la la"

What Did My Lover Say?

Selective hearing works best when you can drown out the sound of truth by shouting MAGA or WOKE.

I get tired of some of my fellow geezers equating age with wisdom. The only thing aging does is make you older; wisdom is a whole ’nother matter.

Well, they do say to take the road less traveled by.

Hearing’s not the problem, it’s the listening…

How many fingers does that guru have?

It’s true, unfortunately – selective hearing is more popular than wisdom.

As it always was, it always will be. In a Democracy the guy who says the right things to the most people wins.

i’ve heard of it, but you won’t find any in Washington

Sad but true.

Sounds good to me?

My grandfather had convenient hearing. He couldn’t hear you talking to him face to face on regular issues. If it was something you didn’t want him to hear, he could hear from the next room.

Funny——-!!

I Heard that. ♡

Isn’t that the same as "confirmation bias.? You only go to the source that confirms your opinion or what you wish to be true.

Help, I don’t get it…

Ear doctor: Why don’t you tell your family that you can hear just fine now?

Elderly patient: I’ve changed my will three times now, all for the better.

WM…another Brilliant toon, perfectly capturing the irony and idiocy! Wonderful artwork, too. Only thing…the Selective Hearing guy has smaller hands…much smaller hands…

Keep climbing toward wisdom, dude. It won’t make you happier, but the lines are shorter.

Selective hearing works best when you get selective information

Tucker’s new gig.

It’s not just selective hearing; it’s selective BELIEVING.

Wow. Isn’t that the truth.

If a picture be worth a thousand words then this panel set is 6 times 1000 = infinite radiant light – boo yah Wiley bears….

Did the deaf man hear the mute man say that the blind man saw the lame man walk?

Selective believing. unlike the truth lies can be cut to fit your receptive audience of believers. The lie fits where the truth does not.

It’s not “selective hearing.” On the other mountain is Academia, State Education, Mass Media, Pop Culture — and they all have bull horns, giant speakers, and huge billboards.

Also known as the reason Republicans take the hard road.

Perception is reality .. which is what the ‘Selective Hearing’ guy is all about.
