Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 23, 2009
Transcript:
Jeffrey: So how does this work, Danae? Danae: Through the blissful simplicity of not thinking. All everyone in the world has to do is shut up and do things my way, which will put everything in perfect harmony. Ipso facto, world peace. Jeffrey: ... With you as the cult leader. Danae: You say that like it's a bad thing...

Danaism

A benevolent dictator can indeed be a good thing. Too bad Danae doesn’t qualify as benevolent…

Cap’n Eddie for head of state! A slacker is the safest kind of dictator there is.

I knew it was the “SHUT-UP” doctrine! IS this a re-rerun or is she re-marketing it?

Well done third panel. On her dais; arms outstretched addressing the masses. Very foreboding. I’ve seen this before, however not as a parody.

Slap her down, slap her down now, before all that mess gets out of hand.

How true. Our current president is very unlike Mr. Bush.
Although I do seem to recall Mr. Bush saying something along the lines of, “If you don’t support all my policies, then you are supporting the terrorists.”
Actually, that does sound a lot like shut up and do it my way. But then, maybe that’s just me.

AKHenderson statement is what Aesops fable about the “King Log or King Stork” was about. So even Greeks in 600 BC knew better than having an active “leader”.

Progressives…. it’s all about the Progressives. Danae sounds like a little girl version of Woodrow Wilson.

“If this were a dictatorship, it’d be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I’m the dictator”. G.W. Bush
Lawrence Stetz Premium Member about 15 years ago
Life in good in a dictatorship as long as your the dictator.

And with ease, Danae can convert her soap box into a kool aid stand.

This is very funny. But not as funny as ‘Reynolds Unwrapped” by Dan Reynolds.
And if anyone thinks I’m actually Dan just going around trying to promote my comic at the expense of others I would ask you to read my username.
dsom8 about 15 years ago
I don’t suppose Danae would want FOX around either.

May I just say that I am ecstatic that Wiley chose not to participate in the propaganda of this week.
Thank you, Wiley, for being a free thinker, an for having the backbone to say “no” to the government’s strong-arm tactics to push their agenda through the media, including many strips on the comics page this week.

woo…..Not an image I like to see in my head…Danae as world dictator? Yikes!

Destiny23 “….A benevolent dictator can indeed be a good thing…” please explain your rationale
Trebor39 about 15 years ago
Once there was a world. But then came along Danae!
bmonk about 15 years ago
@johndh, the Greeks felt that a benevolent dictator was the best form of government–efficient, just, productive. The real problem is finding a sufficiently virtuous person to be the dictator.

that’s not even a remote possibility. repeat after me…”absolute power corrupts…”
JP Steve Premium Member about 15 years ago
…absolutely!”

Guys, if you don’t wanna volunteer, you don’t have to. Instead, follow the last guy’s advice and go out and buy stuff.

Sorry Danae, Barack bet you to it………..
Destiny23 about 15 years ago
A benevolent dictator’s only concern would be what’s best for the nation as a whole, not special interests, party politics or re-election. I imagine there must have been a few monarchs in human history who would qualify. (Although I can’t name any.) But the truism about ‘absolute power’ is much more common, and I’m sure applies to Danae.
