Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 15, 2011

You DO have a reputation, girl …

@Dogsniff, exactly. How old is today’s strip? Who sends letters these days?!?

preemptive strike on danae.

Danae “always got an angle” Pyle.Can see her coming from a mile away.Lately she’s been sporting a smile.Playing innocent just isn’t going her way.

Kate should become Secretary of State when she grows up. Her Jedi mind tricks would come in handy there. Somebody at State needs to know about Danae, anyway – so why not her?

You may as well ‘fess up, Danae.

How would you expect the teacher to contact the parent, Dogsniff? I wouldn’t trust Danae to give dad a note from the teacher. Would you?

Drat! My superficial and shallow plot foiled again.

The premise is completely unbelievable … a parent who actually pays attention to, and cares about, what his child is doing in school? Science fiction.

They got your number kiddo!

Once you’ve got a rep, it never goes away.

Schools in Ontario still send ‘formal’ letters for most things, and the report cards are also mailed.

who uses email and phones? if you want conversational comms, it’s facebook, and immediate comms is texting. if i get email, it’s usually spam or bills, and if my phone rings with odd/no ID, it’s refi-telemarket or police/cancer beg-a-thons. shows that it’s the same old garbage, just using modern media. especially from that .tk email address using the Apple 2.0.1 X-Mailer.

I thought Kate’s suggestion to her was just that. As to phones, I don’t answer mine unless I recognise #, but I get many mesages on email- gradually putting all the stores in separate folder with “rules” and I am in many “groups” of friends where I get a single summary mail per day. I don’t text (and refuse to have a cell) so some family who haven’t joined FB still email me.

SMILE, Makes the bastards wonder what you’re up to.

Oh yeah, Danae, always an ulterior motive! What are you getting into now?

All that frustration for nothing. I think Kate knew this would happen. Makes you wonder who the REAL evil mastermind is.

If it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Danae behaving in school is too good to be true, so what’s the catch?

poor Danae, now she’s getting what she starts…..havta see where it goes now …..?

Gerry, unfortunately, way too many school districts really do have that problem. I know. I taught in a district like that….

It shows Dad is not paying attention when the concern has to come from the teacher, first.

Oh no, cover blown; abort mission Danae, abort mission!!!
