Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 18, 2023

…Because your current marketing is a joke, an he will fit right in?

If both ventriloquist and dummy land jobs, that will be 2 paychecks which is almost enough money to rent an apartment.

I assume they’re referring to the dummy.

As usual people go for the “dummy” who has somebody controlling him. Just like elections.

Wow. I didn’t see his lips move at all.

Well, since the doll’s making the most dough … Makes you wonder who’s REALLY in charge.

I hope someone tries this.

Help just found you, then.

The ventriloquist is a marketing genius. He’s getting folding money out of passers-by who normally wouldn’t drop spare change in a “help me” cup. Make him an offer before some other business grabs him.

I can think of a number of businesses whose television ads are so dreadful they need to rethink their current marketing directors.

It’s a typical Workers/ Management relationship.

The late Paul Winchell was not a one trick pony: A certified acupuncturist and medical hypnotist, he held the patent for a mechanical implantable heart. (He donated the patent to the U. of Utah; Dr. Jarvik further developed the device to implant one in Barney Clark in 1982). His other patents ranged from a disposable razor, to a flameless cigarette lighter, portable blood plasma defroster, retractable fountain pen and battery-heated gloves.

So this is where the ventriloquist from last week’s Mike du Jour strip was flying to.

Someone who can expound grandioes spin while sipping a Latte. (Disguies your lips movement behind the foam mustashe.)

The “Laff-A-Lot Comedy Club” made me laugh…So did the sad face “closed” sign on the club’s door…

Shouldn’t the dummy be wearing a red tie?

They might need a venture capitalist

It costs a lot of money to be a starving artist these days.

I’ve known a few Marketing Directors in my time who were real dummies!

So does Sock Puppet Joe. Obama’s Communist agenda is getting old.

Or campaign director.

Alissa Heinerscheid is probably available.

They always hire the dummy.

Like the old adage goes, “The more hype in the ad, the more worthless the product.”

Must be a dandy commodity they’re marketing.

It’s not enough to throw your voice, you have to have a dummy animated enough to fetch it. :)

in front of a a comedy club – location, location, location!

The guy sitting down on the left should read Ventriloquism for Dummies.

Reminds me of the cult movie “Americathon”, wherein someone sabotages a national debt fundraising telethon by scheduling 50 ventriloquist acts. The backstage scene was a madhouse. :)

He keeps putting words in the dummy’s mouth

In 2023 on Biden’s watch?

Are the suits working for Gov. DeSensitive by chance?

1 LIKE just for featuring a ventriloquist.

So they hired the dummy. And the company went under a week later.

i went around putting in applications and leaving my resume` at a bunch of places ended up getting so many jobs i had to hire someone just to cover the other jobs i found
