Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 18, 2011

Copycats. You can’t patent “look and feel”. Should have given it a catchy name and gone whole-hog with the branding angle.

That invention spread like wildfire i bet!

Mook’s torch song

Sounds like they just left the Golgafrinchan’s “B” Ark.

Yes,and I bet it was your pubic doorman that first put the fat in the fire.

Quick, get the patent on marshmellows, before the girls get here!

Trademark: Your Fired !!!

That’s OK, Mook. This way, no one will sue you for burning themselves or for forest fires. You’re covered.

Shouldn’t have let anyone see how you did it!!

What good is a patent? Nobody’s invented money yet!

hey – is that a torch? Are you the first?

Technically people didn’t INVENT fire, they discovered it. It’s a natural phenomenon.

The overuse of it led to the first “Ember Alert”

Fire wasn’t an “invention.” It was a discovery.

Since we are confusing discovery with invention … how about a patent on pleasure?

Well, Mook, at least nobody has stolen your rolling-round-cart-foot, yet. Quick! Patent that!

I’d go for the patent on the match and flint.

First the patent, then the “fire brand” name. Have they invented patents yet?

Kinda like the guy who patented the car, and charged everyone who wanted to make one a licensing fee. He refused to give Henry Ford a license, so Ford challenged the patent in court. The rest is history…

Taking a break from the editorials, I see.

That was a very interesting movie!

They had capitalism in the Stone Age?
