Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 20, 2012

Don’t mention human caused global warming or the nuts will go ballistic.

It’s even worse if you stop to pick the guy up.

What, this is just the future, get used to it…..What bo you want, eggs in your beer….?

I thought the guy’s tanker truck broke down. Dennis Weaver caught a break

well he sure got rid of that lovely forest that used to be there…

Is he wearing a hockey mask?

It’s okay, folks — he’s just dressed that way for Comic-Con.

“Can we pick him up Mommy? He looks like such a NICE man!”

Sign is on the wrong side of the road. That’s a bad sign.

Nice reference to the made-for-TV movie. “DUEL” Lord Garth… one of the best ever. Wasn’t that an early Steven Spielberg film?

What is the cliche… the “Long, Long Winding Road”, Freddie with his goalie mask and chain saw, the “Endless Desert” or the trials and tribulations suffered Brigham Young before entering UTAH?

Is Wiley back from vacation yet?

Let’s stop and pick him up. What can it hurt ?

Sign is on the wrong side of the road because it’s a Dead End … a one-way street to Hell.

Where"s the Burma Shave sign just behind the guy in the hockey mask? The Burma Shave sign was always at the end of the line of signs along the highway,and with the chainsaw signalling the end of the line for anyonegiving this guy a ride.

@Varnes

Thanks for your reminder of days long gone.….“eggs in your beer”…….Haven’t heard that one in years, and haven’t seen any Burma Shave signs in many moons, either.

@Varnes

Never have known of anyone ever having tried the eggs and beer combo and was never brave enough to give it a try.Now that you’ve provided this reminder, maybe willgive it a whirl after imbibing a sufficient amount of brew to induce a good buzz.

Riot in drugstore…..Calling all cars…….100 customers……99 jars…….Burma ShaveEnd of the line for you if picking up guys in hockey masks armed with chainsaws just in front of Burma Shave signs.

Hold onto your popcorn! Those steer skulls are zombies hiding in holes. They’ll pop up when we least expect it! Thrills, chills, and spills!

@masterskrain

Thanks for the memories. God Lord, you’re as old a fossil as myself.Is Burma Shave still in business?

@Linguist

Thanks for this from one who’s been there, and done that. Can’t argue with that, but still think a good buzz is a prerequisite to trying that concoction in my case.Good idea for us Joe Sixpacks who can barely afford Budweiser, though.

@masterskrain

Here’s one that has application to today’s strip, if anyone thinks a rabbit’s foot will spare them from being turned into mincemeat by the chainsaw.

On curves ahead………Remember sonny………That rabbit’s foot didn’t save the bunny……BURMA SHAVE.

Promise to stop before turning this into a Burma Shave commercial, and we’re not getting any royalties for inserting them. And those signs were everywhere. Thousands of jingles.

Chainsaw-1.Driver picking up hitch hiker-0.

He’s Stihl standing there.

Amarillo by morning………………..

Man, that should be as bad as the devil

I’m not surprised – it is an election year.

Whoa! It’s not even Friday the 13th but Jason is thumbing a ride! U-Turn

Not sure about the references to Jason…..I see it as a reference to “The (true story) Texas Chainsaw Massacre”.

Do not stop. Do not drive past. (last ones who did ended the same way as the ones that stopped.) This is not a major highway, paved. The shows cowtrail after the sign… up ahead... U Turn! U Turn! U Turn!!! and dont let the wheels touch the dirt/sand!!!

Don’ t lose your headTo save a minuteYou need your head,Your brains are in it!

BURMA SHAVE

Thanks for the Burma Shave jingles folks! I love ’em….

This strip well demonstrates the attitude of each political party toward the other and even toward their constituents…er…well, either that or the moral and spiritual wasteland left by nefarious religious entities….er…oh, never mind again. (Sigh…timing is everything!)

retirement has driven Patrick Roy crazy. Too many people says : why isn’t Roy as in Rogers?

Are there good movie cliches?

apparrently i’m not the only one that doesn’t get it…

well, at least he was not a tea party dude…..

Clicked on the Twaggies strip by mistake. Another strip with steer skull.

DUEL—really scary to me, but a well done production.

Wow, some of the least wordy and unpolitical comments today. Odd.

Loved those Burma Shave signs. I tried to remember some of my favorites, even tried to look on Google. Too many of them to find a favorite.“I grow old … I grow old …”

@Rodney

Thanks for that great one! Terrific

A-Door-able

You forgot to say “BURMA SHAVE!”
