Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 19, 2024

How did you miss her the first time?

There can’t be only one!

And if you want to stay married, you never let ch 28 see the light of day.

Love his look in panel 3 and of course, back to work…

Why do I have a feeling that he’ll be adding chapters for the rest of his life?

I could write a few chapters myself, but I figure why let the memory of the dead ********* live on?

A friend used to write out the small things that irritated him on a small pad, then burn the notes. Said that allowed him to spend more time ranting about the really big stuff. Looking at what’s coming, gotta feeling he’ll really be boiling by end of October. Either that or locked in his bomb shelter.

I’ve never heard someone say ‘dishing on’. What are the origins of that phrase? I’ve heard ‘dis’ used before, as in ’don’t dis me’. And that derives from disrespect. Dishevel, maybe?

What a sad way to live – always complaining and holding grudges. What’s the point?

In addition to the names of real people who’ve bothered him, each chapter must also have more than a thousand different usernames in it. Probably a lot more.

Ah yes, the autobiography – a work of pure fiction.

“You can dish it out easy enough, but you sure can’t take it, can you?”

A grudge is a heavy burden to carry. Imagine how miserable one must be when the only satisfaction in life is revenge and retribution.

Having said this, I still have not forgiven the Dodgers for leaving Brooklyn.

He’s better off writing it as satire. More entertaining to read and audiences will have to figure out who he’s referring to

“Take a gander folks, in this exhibit, we have a prime example of a retiree in his ‘Sanctum Sanctorum’, his ‘Radio Shack’, AKA smallest bedroom, hunched over his generic Windoze desktop, spewing out sour grapes and unrequited consultations. Note the counter indicated use of Windoze XP. He hates a lot of things, gas prices, Liberals, Luann and Bernice’s life choices, but he also hates change.

We call it, ‘The Old Man and the PC.’”

Maybe he should try running for president and having rallies spouting chapter 27

If it doesn’t tick them off, it’s not retribution.

Chapter 28 must be a dis against his wife for being truthful about who’d really want to read his memoir.

He might have more success writing his gripes as nursery rhymes: These rhymes were often used as a way to make light of difficult and traumatic events, such as war, disease, and execution. Additionally, many nursery rhymes were created as political or social commentary, and were used to satirize or criticize those in power.

Other victims.

She’s probably heard all of the stories already, again and again.

Another self described victim of witch hunts.

Chapter 28: The Wife.

The book will never be finished at that rate.

I’m very sure I read that strip at least once before.
