Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 08, 2025

Love, sweet love

What does the world need? As someone who has had a few jobs dealing with the general public, “fewer idiots” is often my go to.

This strip is from back in 2008, when newspapers still existed.

Actually, what the world needs is newspapers and other media that employ real reporters and are not owned by billionaires and/or gigantic corporations.

Well extermination of humans would be a good start.

Danae maybe approaching the same state as a very old magazine comic showing a guy sitting in a box that’s turned up on end in a vast empty plain. His comment, People are no d – – – – – good.

[Hadda put dashes in because AI determined the real thing was too profane, even though much stronger terms have appeared unchecked in other comments. Irritatingly uneven application.]

I’ll buy that

Okay, I’m calling it now. No 10 year old American is going to pick up a newspaper for any reason, including making a hat.

So true. The world vibrated less during covid,

Every day the Great Trumpkin says stuff that would be hilarious in a Mel Brooks movie. Unfortunately, I think we’re in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Amerika Uber Alles. Oops! Not ‘til 1/20.

It’s an old song, but “What the world needs now is love.”

If you don’t mind listening to a retired Episcopal bishop who sounds like a Baptist minister giving a sermon, try this: double slash vimeo. dot com/1036904946

Voluntary human extinction. Stop having children (visit the web site for more info).

A clue!

What does the world need? Not “love” but RESPECT!

Danae, here’s a need that needs filling: Cruise ships to Greenland. You can also throw in Iceland

how about news media that actually report the news?

We should put Dana in touch with Hammy over at Over the Hedge. He could at least manage giving everyone a hug.

Mother Nature is working on a “vacation” from people. The house will be fumigated weather or not we like it.

No, I did not mean, “whether.”

Good idea, Danae.

She’s not wrong.

& following the Jackie DeShannon thread: “Put a little love in your heart.”

She has finally nailed it!

A political profession would much better suit Danae than one in the field of science.

Ah, so this IS a new thing w/ the comic being in b/w & the word balloons being in color?

Today, January 7, marks the 211th anniversary of the last hostile foreign boot leaving American soil, as American troops under General Andrew Jackson routed the British at the Battle of New Orleans, the final encounter of the War of 1812.

Just don’t bother with the WP

Coming right up!…But, without the Hug…

The truth. The world needs to learn to deal with the truth. Not lies and make believe stuff.

A newspaper, what is this the 80’s ??? ;-)

One of the problems has a very simple solution: stop sending bombs and guns to the Middle East until the recipient starts honoring human rights for a change.

We need a time-out for sure.

Not just D.C, the entire world needs to remove a certain group. Red hats and all that “think” like they do. Remove by any means necessary.

It needs a global exile system, is what it needs…

Apophis is coming, it will be so close you can see it with your naked eyes depending on where you are. Those scientists better have their Math right. I will be on my patio with Margaritas – make those shots of Tequila.

She ain’t (entirely) wrong.

People need to learn how to really listen. But that takes work.

You could do what we do now: Just find a scapegoat, assign blame, then use that to turn people against each other so instead of working towards a solution, we’re all working against one another. Then use that to control people into getting yourself elected while claiming you’re the only one who can fix the problem, all the while creating new problems without fixing anything. Or in simpler terms: Politics.

This would pair well with today’s “Lio” strip.

I just need to read one headline… TRUMP DEAD ….and I’ll be sooooo happy.

Information overload, I remember a time when the tv stations used to shut down at 11 pm. Now it’s all instantaneous and in your face.

AMEN!!!!

OK, where did she find a newspaper?

She needs to start with a lot smaller problem.

A mosh pit and then a group hug.

If even Danae is considering hugs, the World is definitely struggling. It’s a good plan, D… I’ll drive :)

Don’t give up hope quite yet you two…

Reboot?

the last newspaper in town ceased publication 12-31-2024
