Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 02, 2024

They worship the Sockness Monster? ;-)

(“Jumpstart” fans will understand)

To have sailed with Captain Eddie…what I missed?

Pay no attention to the man behind the chair.

oh my, wiley is right on top of what is going on these days!

Where do people in London keep their money?

In a fog bank

Puppet ruler.

Follow the man who seeks truth;Shun the man who said he found it.

Most of the fools won’t even notice this is talking about the orange puppet. But the puppeteers have gotten rather more clever since the ’80s… Both at hiding and at pulling the strings.

The American republic has the stupids real bad. Democracy walking dead.

the better party is always the one not in power!

Pay no attention to the man behind the throne (with his hand in the sock puppet).

The zombies in the ‘45 is God’ cult will think this is about them. They always think strips about idiots worshiping false gods is about them… They’re right.

Joe Biden, the perfect sock puppet. No wonder they want the old man to run again.

Cap’n Eddie has nailed it. Unwanted truths often burst bigots bubbles. It doesn’t, last but it does expose a lot of phony philosophy.

“It has come to my attention” means “You’re in trouble.”

“‘Let it be a challenge to you’ means you’re stuck with it.”

- Character Sylvia Barrett (Up the Down Staircase.)

Nailed it. In so many ways.

Is the sock puppet meant to be President Biden?

Nice they included ‘sock puppet’ Biden in the strip, although the artwork could use some work.

So many magats think they’re so clever saying the sock puppet is President Biden, but they never say who’s behind him.

Whoever it’s supposed to be, it’s got to be better than Putin operating their guy. Our economy is booming, and his is on life support.

In the States the sock puppet is a Putin Puppet.

All presidents are puppets, just the side that supports it never sees it.

Nail it. Too bad the MAGA cult won’t get it.

Ah yes, American Religion in action.

And his name is Justin.

You mean a morally bankrupt orange sock puppet convicted felon!

I see Paulie is facing forward today.

So this is about Trump? I spoze it makes sense, but Wiley made it a bit too opaque for me to get it without help.

Hey! a sock puppet is as good as a Pope

Sock puppets are a little more sophisticated these days, but they haven’t worked out all the bugs yet

So- do you really believe that?

A lovely political parable. The fog machine is still going strong.

Hope Wiley had or is still having a nice vacation.

It’s been mentioned several times, but once more can’t hurt. This cartoon is from 2005. Going to guess it was from when W. Bush was Cheney’s sock puppet.

However, what’s old is new again with the Repubs, who are always doomed to make the mistakes of the past, over and over again.

I thought they stopped pummeling the Theory of Evolution(ists) in the early 20th Century. Perhaps I’m just being naive .. you’ll find me hiding under a rock.

Tell the truth, then run.

I’m from corporate home office and I’m here to help. By, gutting your staff, fired those who try to start a union, buy out competition, send jobs over seas.

The truth only hurts when it’s true. Some truths have a veneer glossing of data that supports that truth while the real truth has reams of data that calls the first truth a liar.

Take climate change for example. There are thousands of papers and studies done that prove climate change is a hoax, but the conspiracy theorists base all their screeching on a dozen papers of questionable content.

Wow That story fit the Democrat’s and COVID. Thank you so much for exposing the blue party!
