Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 19, 2012
Transcript:
Wife: Honey...? Husband: Mm-hmm... Wife: We need to talk. Husband: Um... about what? Wife: Anything. Husband: O-o-o-kay... any suggestions? Wife: Oh... like when we were dating, how we'd talk for hours... just nothing stupid and boring like sports or politics, ok? Husband: All right... as long as the ground rules for stupid and boring topics include decorating and celebrity gossip... ok? Wife: Oh... ok. Wife: Then again, true happiness is unspoken communication. Husband: Shh... let's not spoil the moment.

Actually Sunday mornings are kind of cool. We sit on the couch, I read a book, or surf the net, she asks for help with a word for the crossword puzzles she loves to do….What’s a four letter word for sex, for instance……

@roctor
Hmmm…Food for thought,here.After reflection on this matter, also censored for use in a family strip.

Because of thier age, the word was HELP! Though active imaganations can’t be quelled, thats no reason for flagging. Considerting the hate spread without impunity.

If you’re looking for marital bliss, you’re in the wrong place if you read Non Sequitur on a regular basis.

Your question to the O in yesterday’s Off The Mark was rated 5 pies.(from the ladies).To start today’s political discussion and hate flying, what the hell is going on in Pennsylvania with the reep efforts in the direction of voter suppression?Please fight this!

I just have to say that I love this one.
stripseeker over 12 years ago
@philyfanstukinme
Verbally, not with pies. Although a pie in the face of Turzai and other reeps would be a great idea, too.
PICTO over 12 years ago
Enough said.

Ladies don’t care that you’re a Phillies fan.They want to stick something in you, and it’s got sharp edges after that post in Off the Mark.Guys rated it 5 stars, and will assist in your defense from any outraged females coming your way.

@Ladies
Will try to give you top billing, if this can be remembered by me. Memory not what it used to be in former years.

Actually, may renege on my pledge to help in your defense against outraged females unless you switch your loyalties to the Boston Red Sox.

Thanks for that about the (mi) Had wondered why it wasn’t (me)It’s pretty clear now that the reason that you feel “stuk in mi” is because you’re surrounded by Detroit fans.Loved yesterday’s post by you, though.Never would have caught the detail you mentioned there.

There’s always books, art, plays, operas, symphony attendance in person, boats, guns, computers, family members … how would it be possible to have nothing to say to someone who, at least initially, was a good, and perhaps even, best friend.

Are you married, or do you live alone? Both

@roctoryour spelling errors are too numerous for public consumption; please get a dictionary!!

Are the days and/or times when disagreements is over? When polarization of ideas, beliefs, theories, opinions are prohibited? When media such as the Fox network has a monopoly over whole geographical areas of the nation with its celebration of misinformation or outright lies; anti-intellectualism and propaganda designed solely to deceive. Or simply 24/7 shams which are spoon fed to a public considered considered morons.

@mrbribery: should I say yup or ouch?.Does anybody remember Carol Brunett and Harvey Korman as the old couple on the porch?

Absolutely nothing wrong with non verbal communication…I had an Aunt and Uncle that were like that..after 65 years some of us thought it was cute…..they rarely spoke to each other but each always seemed to know what the other was thinking.

I’m a big fan Mr. Miller, but this one puzzles me. Are you making a general statement about the intelligence of women, the state of American culture, or maybe your marriage? I wasn’t offended by this strip, but then I’m a single male.

This well illustrates the divide between political parties. There is no communication and neither group….oh, who am I kidding….too late to start a political war….sigh.
Varnes over 12 years ago
Being “stuck” in Michigan sounds great! That Detroit area? I tell people we sold it to Canada, in exchange for Georgian Bay….Anyway, wouldn’t that be cool?
