Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 06, 2009

With the parka, he will not get sunburned.

or grass clippings on his nether regions

Hey, that was me today.

cleokaya, I really feel for your neighbors (unless you’re really Vigo Mortensen).

And how many times I have been told to go there!

cleokaya - If you really Viggo Mortenson, let me know where you live please!

Is it just me, or does having to cut the grass suck?

Not only you Dracip; cutting grass generally sucks unless:

you actually “request” someone else to do it you’re actually doing it for moneys you happen to be a ruminant (cow, deer, sheep, …) or horse

Looks like my yard. And that’s my wife with the parka.

Too bad the grass isn’t already tall again right behind him…..Although I can think of a lot worse (snow & shovel anyone???) I can also see where especially to the urban types this would seem pretty horrible. Glad Cleo doesn’t live near us…… the bugs would eat him in places he’d much rather they didn’t!

I recall a very similar Non Sequitur about a dozen years ago: A naked man stands at a push mower while the devil points to an endless field of knee high grass. The caption was, IIRC, “A pretty good concept of hell.”

IMO he’s lucky he’s got a mower instead of a pair of scissors. And if it were Canada, it could be blackfly season. You can better believe he’d be happy for that parka then :)

…and this is why I took out my front lawn … I no longer even OWN a mower!

Put the sun lotion all over on naked man with 30-50 SPF!

I hear the grass is greener on the “other” side. And all we gotta do is lay in it. Definately my speed.

sweaty body + parka = yuck!

Well THERE’S his problem. You should NEVER start mowing from the middle. Breaking such a fundamental rule of basic lawn care will surely get you sent to hell (or to your room if you’re living with your grandparents).

cleo, you’re getting famous. Now you’ll have the devil to pay.

could the parka be a reference to Alaska, hence a commnet on Sarah Palin and her latest news?

Not unless Wiley is psychic. He (as do all cartoonists who create strips) writes a gag several weeks ahead of the time it appears.

, Who designs those SOOOOO UNCOOL devil’s apparel ????????????

Wiley’s ideas of Fashion are so BORING, as to be painful,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

actually, I do enjoy mowing the lawn. but when its over 100 it does feel like you are wearing a parka. wish I could emulate that dude some days. I do relate

poor guy…mines already baled. And it was kinda chilly with the AC on.

I’ve seen some guys mowing the lawn with their shirts off - with sooo much hair - they look like Bears! Oh My!!!

and nothing’s so special about that.

Looks like just another summer in South Carolina to me…

@EMET:

The donkey would really have to search hard; I think something was lost in translation.

And I was in no way attempting to make a political or religious statement.

Hi cleo- nice to see you mownig you lawn again!
