Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 05, 2024

How did Lucy go from a fear of jumping small creeks to doing jet packs?

2004. I see Wiley is on vacation?

Did they finally manage to repeal the law of gravity?

See? Stinky boys do serve a purpose.

Politicians of all stripes have been facing THAT conundrum for as long as there’ve been politicians – and before that, kings, queens, ministers of religion, chancellors …

Not Pegasus, is she?

Where’s a bus when you need one?

I’ve had wild and free dreams like that, though I didn’t land in a pigsty.

Happy National Cartoonists Day, complete with fanciful situation and cartoon sound effects!

Rocket pack and skates from Acme. Get your catalog today

I wouldn’t worry about it. The military couldn’t find any of the hijacked planes on 9/11. As far as we know, they’ve never shot down one over American soil.

Ur in a sty. Look around.

Tune in next week kids, for more adventures with Rocket Girl and her faithful companion, Saddle Panza.

Now we’re getting into Cap’n Eddie territory

A waste of a AIM-9X to shoot them down.

She’s channeling her inner Cap’n Eddie.

You need a low-level flunky to blame? Well, take the advice of Kristi N-oem and blame your ghostwriter?

I’m not seeing any resemblance to Bogie

Well, at least she wore a helmet :)

Professor Fate and Max would be impressed.

What fun you had drawing this one. Like we have chewing on & digesting all the levels of satire. Bravo.

“You can’t roller skate in a Buffalo herd…….”

Ah, I see they finally raised the bar.

With Danae everything is possible.

Am I the only one that finaly figured out that Danae’s name is a satirical take on Deny? I feel like an idiot (not the first time, surely not the last).

I’m interested in the object on the far right. I can’t make it out.

If I saw a dwarf clydesdale on roller skates with jet assist I think I’d keep it to myself

This was like with today’s ‘Baldo’, see my comment there. ‘Baldo’ was better, though. Not as cynical.

With a horse face.

I’m sure Trump has a drawer full of extra flunkies he’s not using.

Never use solid rockets. They only have a start button.

“Given enough thrust, even a brick [pig] [you can also substitute ‘Pygmy Clydesdale’] will fly.” — lesser known law of aerodynamics

At least she’s got a helmet on.

Danae musta found a bargain on JATOs at her local Army/Navy store.

Whenever something goes completely to hell, I always say I’m responsible, because it’s the only responsibility anybody ever gives me.

Whoever sold those jet packs to Danae should be prosecuted.

Well, I guess their name as mud from now on.

Loved the Fenton easter egg!

I think the panel with the pigs is my favorite!

Danae turns and looks at Lucy. “I’m sorry. But this has to be done. For the good of the nation.”

The Sidewinder just found a bigger heat signature. The farmers heated cow barn. Free BBQ tonight. On the Air Force’s dime.

To answer your question: Go into politics, dear.

At the RATO she’s going, she’ll fall for anything.
