Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 09, 2009

lol…i just sent an email to a friend saying pretty much the same :-) ..love it for short spell but now it can go… :-P

No doubt!

JonD17: I saw no email.

Winter has permission to leave now. Won´t be using it yet.

Ah yes, winter clothing. You wear so much of it you can not lower your arms.

Pfffft - sissy. She should try riding a motorcycle in this weather, and layer so she doesn’t freeze!

“Permission to leave”? Heck, it never got MY permission to come in the first place…

I guess Nate from the strip “Overboard” isn’t the only person with wintertime issues.

Been there, done that for too many years. Actully brought home two brand new bikes in the snow. Only problem I ever had was once I parked my work bike (messenger svc in DC) next to a snow bank and when I set my foot into it there was a dropoff there. Got my left leg pinned between the left jug of my Beemer and the ground. Fortunately a good citizen helped get the bike up off of me.

I’m with ya Danae, tired of working outside in near zero temps, wearing 8 layers of clothes, although the horses seem to like it just fine.

Your horses wear 8 layers of clothes?

I wish I could be the center of the universe. But the universe has other plans.

hhhmmmm, I will resend.

Hang in there,Danae. Only 5 more weeks to go. lol

Instant defrosting holidays available in melbourne, australia, going cheap..

Winter too is a relative thing. After two weeks of 20 below, 20 above is like a walk in the park.

I always feel this way come February. More so this year… very tired of cold after a month of -20c. My husband can sympathize with you Doc, last month he slipped down the couple stairs of the front porch… ironically, while trying to salt them. He had a bruise the size of a flapjack on one buttock for three weeks.

Mr. Miller needs to print this comic on a sweatshirt (cafepress, anyone?) so winter-hating people like me can buy one and proudly wear our sentiments! (or has that been done already?)

Yes, one part of you longs for their visit, but in reality upon arrival you begin thinking about departure.

It’s all about her, isn’t it?

tchergrl, sweatshirt? try artic survival suit

It hasn’t snowed ONCE down here this year!!! This weekend it was 62 degrees on Saturday and 65 degrees on Sunday! I HATE IT! I’ve told my husband that if this keeps up, we’re taking winter vacations instead of summer ones. bah!

Better winter than summer! All too soon it will be an inferno outside with temperatures in the 70’s and 80’s.

Anyday over 65 dgrees is too hot thank God for winter when it is actually nice enough to be outside and enjoying nature.

At least in the winter you can always wear more layers. In the summer you are limited to just how much you can take off.

I know just how y’all feel. A cold northerner hit Hawaii last week and I had to layer my swimming trunks.

;>D

Tsk, tsk, Danae, be patient. There will have five more weeks to go and then Spring will come pretty soon. I love the way Danae steamed up with that skull above her head. LOLs!

Jackone says: Hang in there,Danae. Only 5 more weeks to go. lol I almost say “five weeks” but I tweak my sentence to post on the comment. ;-] wink! lols!

I have flurries in Reno/Sparks areas. sigh! We need more water in NV. Last week we had so dry and warm Now the rain/snow came already. Whew! It’s Mother Nature’s works!

Maybe the gang should pile into Cap’n Eddie’s boat and move south.

grazer stock up on beer and munchies. Us toonaholics are coming over for a beach party.

The south-eastern states of Australia have been having very dry, very hot (40C - 104F) days for weeks now. We can’t wait for winter to arrive (18-20C - 64-68F), so we can cool down. Could use some of your snow and rain, too. Last count, 170 people dead in Victoria’s bushfires. Please, enjoy it while you’ve got it.

Peter K just made my gray Iowa day much less gloomy. Our thoughts are with you and your countrymen.

Oh, I love this one!

Please, anyone, tell me - why is today’s cartoon funny. It seems like everyone thinks this is SO funny. Why? A little girl walks in the house and says “Winter has her permission to leave.” The dad say, “I’ll alert the media” How the heck is that SOOOOO funny that 34 people comment and 11 favorite the cartoon???? It sounds like some of these comics are getting comedy bailouts.

Thanks, Iowaweav. Lots of reports of generosity here, towards people who have lost everything. During the tsunami appeals a couple of years ago the Red Cross ended up telling us all that they didn’t want more money! We all hope the same thing happens here in the next few weeks.

peterkeenan says:Last count, 170 people dead in Victoria’s bushfires. I heard that 173 more died from mass fire storm. That must be horribly tragic. I don’t understand why those people escaped from their homes while the fire engulfed all of their houses down to the ground. Keep telling them to get out of their houses for their safety than perish (die) in their houses while the fire eat all of their houses for no resason. Sighhhh! :-[

I just sent this to my brother-in-law, who is an Australian citizen, living in Wales. Whilst we have been suffering from the heat here in Sydney Australia he is in the cold/snow and hating it.

mrssimo, I feel for your country and the horrible fires that you are experiencing. Be safe.

For once I’m glad to live in TN. Winter seems to be leaving down here. Poor Danae. Winter in Maine must be tough.

I am SOOOO there!

Okay enough of the snow and lets have a March come in like a lamb
