Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 01, 2009

Danae, OF COURSE YOU ARE FAMOUS!!! Thousands of people read about you and want to make you President. Perhaps not Prime Minister of Australia, but then …

Look kid. You’re the only blue haired, megalomaniacal, interplanetary, bedroom horse conversationalist that I know. Your 15minutes of superstardom can’t be far away.

LOVE the 3rd panel! :)

earth. that’s lucy’s answer.

SHe should do what CPT Kirk did in the Kobayashi-Maru scenario. Write in a condition where he was a famous captain. Danae can create some fake blogs, twittters and pages praising her fame.

There’s so much I’d like to say, but I durst not offend Lord Wiley

Durst! Durst!

LOVE the 3rd panel

That’s what a friend of mine used to call the Hairy Eyeball. Said his mother kept him in line with it all during his childhood.

‘Course I’d have to have eyeballs.

The Hairy Eyesocket look doesn’t have quite the same kick to it, unless you happen to be carrying a scythe and hourglass.

She’ll be infamous in no time.

My eye sees all!

She in Danae-l

All you need is a scandal!! I know walk straight upo to Spencer Pratt and punch him

Rather than famous I believe Danae will be infamous.

i had my own bout with (second hand) notoriety, having the same name as a famous person caught in a scandal. i had to listen to all the bad jokes made about him and smile politely to those repeating them to me for the twentieth time. i can see how real celebrities would find that fame gets old real quick. i wonder how Danae would handle it if she became famous.

“LOVE the 3rd panel! :)”

Yes~! Looks too familiar to me….GULP!

I’m assuming the nuclear symbol means more intense funk than the usual skull in her thoughts? I wonder what her sister is up too? You know, the good little girl…let’s check in on her….

Gasp! She’s not famous? Then why do I have her likeness on the back of a sweatshirt?

”i had my own bout with (second hand) notoriety, having the same name as a famous person”- yyyguy

Oh, that guy! I tried to get yyyguy’s autograph once. He thought I was Pepe le Pewrazzi and punched me in the face.

What an ignoranimus.

yyyguy: Your real name is Fatty Arbuckle?…lol

LOVE the 3rd panel

I’m partial to the thought balloon in the first panel. Wiley is a very sick puppy. I admire that in a person.

”As a child she needs to learn that others not self is what important”

“As a horse, Lucy needs to learn to remove her horse-shoes before lying on human beings’ beds …”

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Danae is not a child. She is watercolor on paper. Phosphorescent pixels or glowing LEDs on your monitor.

Metaphors can’t be taught Valuable Life Lessons.

This comment section used to be rife with references to famous philosophers and satirists of old. Now all that’s being drowned out by Dr. Spock, Gospelists, Self-Appointed Moderators and even Pre-Moderators, and PC PoPo.

Shades of the days when AlmostOnLiners hit Usenet.

Time to move on to higher signal lower noise pastures, methinks. Right after I win the coveted sandwich board.

Just crash a famous person’s party .

Not famous! Then do something to get noticed.

Uh-oh! Danae has a nuclear-madness mood!

Go ahead squll. We’ll forward it to you.

Squll- higher signal lower noise? Isn’t that sleep?

To sleep, perchance to dream Ay, there’s the rub

Nothin’ like dozing off during a good massage…

Go ahead squll. We’ll forward it to you

Hey, great!

Just don’t get it backwards and forward the comments.

Or wait - are you using reverse psychology on me?

Ever see Bruce Willis show how to give the ‘horse eye’ on Letterman? Very funny

You want an actor who has a great Hairy Eyeball in his repertoire -

James Earl Jones.

Actually, he doesn’t even have to use the look. He has the voice. That Don’t Mess With Me I’m Having A Really Bad Day, No You Don’t Even Want To Know How Bad voice.

Or Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter. He didn’t even have to move the eyebrow.

“Closer, please. Clo-o-o-oser-r-r-r…”

“All the way to the F-ah Bee-ah Eye.”

Br-r-r-r-r-r!!

My Father had that eye. Could stop blood running in your veins within a 40 foot radius. Also threats. “I’ll break your arm off at the shoulder and beat you with the bloody stump”, formed such a visual that none of us kids would cross the line….Never had to lay a hand on any of us..but knew in our hearts that he would if he had to.

“Could stop blood running in your veins within a 40 foot radius”

I always knew I was in big trouble when my mother called me home using all three names, spoken as one word, with a very sharp rising inflection on the last name. I’m sure you’re all familiar with this motherly toughlove technique.

“CharlesRayCURTIS!! GET yourself home right NOW!!”

When said face to face, very quietly, but with the same inflection, it silenced any planned protest or any currently in progress, immediately. Right?

I’m sure it even worked on …

“JamesEarlJONES! Don’t you EVEN give me that LOOK!”

“Er er er … yes ma’am I mean, no ma’am. Ma’am!”

Don’t waste your time Danae. Too many “fifteen minutes of fame” end up fifteen minutes of shame.
