Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 02, 2009

I guess that depends on how you look at it.

Yup, heaven is what you make of it, I reckon. Pretty much like the rest of life.

Looks ok to me.

Even the TV is unplugged - Wiley, you think of everything!

Einstein declared that to believing physicists, the distinction between past, present and future is simply a stubbornly persistent illusion. Could it be that to believers in the Absolute, the distinction between heaven and earth and hell is simply a stubbornly persistent illusion? Wiley’s wisdom is Absolutely wonderful!

“(there’s a difference)”… Spiritually !

He’ not drinking coffee. Spiritually or not, life is Hell without coffee!!!!! Cream no sugar PLEASE.

Yech! No coffee for me, I’ll take the little bit of drowsiness thank you.

Thank you Wiley, for making the nitwittery of the world bearable.

Heaven and Hades in the same place? That would be earth.

Love all the details. One man’s heaven is another’s he11. Sometimes simpler is better!

eveeastofeden Could it be that Wiley was just going for the obvious joke and not making any kind of philosophical statement at all? And the answer to your question is no.

Looks like a nice lazy day to me. Sometimes you just don’t want to know everything just as it happens, and a little disconnect is the best way to do that.

A good Cup O’ Joe , heaven .

Paying for it later , heck .

Yep, Heaven and Hell at the same place alright. Heaven is reading the comics and comments and Hell is having gocomics experiencing issues. Yep it is Monday morning and it is going to be a Hell of a day.

The world could use a couple o’ them in every town, methinks…

Which came first,,,,the Ying or the Yang ??????

May the Force be with you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I love the drawing by itself. Nice detail.

Looks very inviting.

They end up where all those broken plates go after dinner. Any Ouzu drinker knows that.

No wi-fi? No TV? Presumably also no cellular? Wow! Half the pop under 40 would off themselves in that world. Upside is the highways would be a lot safer.

Excellent! I’d find my share of heaven in that cafe. (Though I’d also be a little lost without my laptop, I admit.)

Okay, here’s Religious. If God creates the Big Bang and no one is around, does it make a noise?

The guy with the laptop is in hell because he can’t get a signal to read the funnies. The guy with the newspaper is in heaven because he can. It’s my religion, Wiley. Luvya.

@Wiley: Pleading with posters in these comic forums not to engage in tiresome political or religious rants is akin to beating your head against a brick wall. Good luck with that.

Did Danae & Kate’s mother completely abandon her daughters? She is never mentioned, so can it be assumed that they have no contact with her?

Or, for that matter (I’ve wondered about this, too) different mothers? They are *so* opposites!

Just go next door and you’ve got your heaven on earh .

According to Wikipedia, they do share a mother, Jennifer Pyle, who ran off with a biker during a family holiday in NH. But don’t take Wikipedia info as gospel. Until I read that, for some reason, I had assumed Joe was a widower. Certainly women do leave their families, but it is less common than fathers doing so.

Wiley - Ive said it before and Ill say it again - love your work

Wiley: “The cartoon was not about religion.”

Sorry, Wiley, You may not have meant for this cartoon to be “about religion”, but “Heaven” and “Hell” (both the names and the concepts associated therewith) are so ingrained as equivalent to “Religious” in our culture that separating them is nigh impossible. Sad, really…

Fine, if this strip isn’t about “religion”, then let it be noted that the literary “Kyle” wouldn’t waste his time at this imaginary cafe.

@somebodyshort: “the door says closed but is open; the door handle is by the hinges”

It took me a while to figure out how you were seeing that. I see the door as closed - it is on the wall behind Kyle - which means the sign says “closed” on the inside, but “open” on the outside, and it also means that there is no problem with the handle and hinges. But if you see the door as open, on the wall with the “No WiFi” sign, then I can see what you are seeing. But then the door is way too big for the opening.

Behind that little door under and by the tv is a tough guy with a submachine gun, he is a temp for the little guard duck.

Joe is clearly “off” women (my desk calendar details his ‘romance’ with Brenda) so I always assumed he was rather damaged by the girl’s mother.

ROTFLMAO! This struck me as super extra funny! For those that missed it - No WiFi so the Mac dude is sitting in Hell (That’s what he gets for worshipping Steve Jobs! ;) ) The checkers guys are at a bar, BS’ing and having a blast with no need for WiFi - they are in Heaven.

Simple as that. I need WiFi for work 7/24/365 but I sure hope like Hell that there is none in Heaven! ;-{D

Excellent Wiley, you nailed it with this strip.

I’ll even donate to your favorite charity for an autographed copy of this. Even if the charity is you! Guilden_NL @ Yahoo.com

Guilden_NL, why is wifi guy smiling if he’s in hell?

I think that’s a goatee, not a smile.

As long as there isn’t a radio playing, that really would be Heaven! I hate restaurants, stores, any public places where music is blaring so you can’t have a quiet conversation, or even hear yourself think. (Especially stores that will start playing Christmas carols any minute now…)

Radio? Probably a jukebox.
