Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 11, 2012
Transcript:
Kate: So in your report... Danae: Memoir Kate: Whatever... You claim to have thwarted and invasion of space monkeys? Danae: Yep! Kate: Ok, let's do a little fact-checking... First, there's no evidence that space monkeys exist... Danae: Well, duh... That's 'cuz I stopped their invasion. Since you don't see them around, it's proof that my story is factual. Kate: My brain just jack-knifed on your highway of logic. Danae: The fast lane of genius isn't for the meek, so keep up or get out.

My God ! She should get a job at Faux Noise !( Actually, Danae’s a lot brighter than the talking heads at Fox. )

President Bubba served from 1993-2000..I still don’t see the big deal abotu Mitt’s tax returns. Nobody has evidence that he failed to file the tax returns he was required to file, or that the IRS failed to catch something fishy in any returns he’s not required to file. The IRS is especially scrutinous over business income, since that’s where a lot o fthe money is.

Seriously people? More politics here? How about just a little humor. Save it for the political blogs, ok? Some of the comments here are funny, but some of you are ruining the humor of this comic. Give it a rest.

Instead of Flint giving a mil for Mitt’s tax records, he should be
giving the same for BO’s school records and birth certs!

She could be a professor at Berkley, Yale or another of our leftist universities as a history revisionist.

“Mitt” is actually his middle name. His first name is “Willard,” which in the US is associated with either a cuddly (but ancient) TV weather guy or a movie character who was on a first-name basis with rats. You can sorta see why he chooses to go by his middle name…

I don’t think I can handle the truth. If the truth is out there, let it stay out there.

Danae is the height of political, lol. without Danae type thinking, the Republicans would be humans.
in the fast lane of genius. sounds like a Republican meme.Wiley hits gold once again.
ah Danae, the leader of teh Faith Based Republican mythology. stops a space monkey invasion!. gosh how much more Republican can you get. Forrest Gump type thinking. dumb and dumber to infinity

Or Obama’s college transcrips.
Ernest Lemmingway about 12 years ago
@EveryonePolitics? Or polemics? The two seem to be synonymous since the beginning.
.Danae, some people can spin a good yarn. Then there’s you. At least Cap’n Eddie is entertaining in his stories.
bagbalm about 12 years ago
We saved or created 400,000 space monkeys. And I challenge you to prove otherwise.

PEOPLE: FOR WILEY’S SAKE, NO MORE POLITICAL COMMENTS!
rugeirn about 12 years ago
Substitute “voter fraud” for “flying monkeys” in this strip and you get a very appropriate observation.
rugeirn about 12 years ago
@dukedogLet’s see, you guys call redheads “Blue” and people named Sharon become “Shaz” and you have a problem with “Mitt” for Milton? (His father’s cousin was Milton Romney, known as “Mitt.” Romney’s actual full name is Willard Mitt Romney.

The brilliance of art ( of any kind ) is that the reader, viewer or listener can interpret it any way they choose. Today’s strip is a perfect example of the commentators choosing to read into it whatever they choose. I am fairly certain, that Wiley had no overt political agenda in drawing it, but the genius of his subtle humor is, that it allows us to laugh at the characters, and ourselves, and infer whatever we like. Keep up the great work, Wiley !
catzilla23 about 12 years ago
morosemoose said, With Romney, it is the fact that every presidential candidate since 1968, starting with Romney’s father, has released their returns.
And Mitt released just as many as Obama, Bush, and Clinton. Whats the problem?
alan.gurka about 12 years ago
The opening for political discussion is clearly in the 2nd panel, where she mentions “fact-checking.” Obviously a lead-in for political analyses and diatribes—all Wiley’s fault!!!

Kate must be sleepy or something, she’s usually quicker than this…..Ya gotta bring your A game if you’re going to go up against Danea…..

For those of you who insist on making political comments here, somehow believing that anyone cares what you think, may I suggest…

Should those of us who insist on replying be silent as well? Sorry, public forums bring us out. Yeah, we are likely talking to ether walls.
Dtroutma about 12 years ago
In so many ways; a world needing more people in the fast lane, finds most on the off ramp to “Monkeyville”. Most jack-knifed trucks are the result of some simple-minded moron pulling in front of them and hitting their brakes, btw.
freeholder1 about 12 years ago
Oh, and it also has nothing to do with your storyline. this time. : )
corjo2 about 12 years ago
Think of it as a variation of “Matt”. He probably prefers it to “Willard”.

Speaking of Buzz Aldrin, I’ve always thought the he should get the ultimate “Been There Done That!” award….Think about it. Neil baby was the first man to walk on the moon, but ol’ Buzz was the first man to leave the moon! Hey, a first is a first…
Speaking of the moon, there are too many commentators named Alice today….
dabugger about 12 years ago
Poor Kate, she seems not to realize that not everybody—in fact —very few persons use logic. Such as a sister who is engaging in bul…..

What about “Chips” Rafferty? That’s a strange name too.

Poli-Sci for Danae.
AKHenderson Premium Member about 12 years ago
Comparing Danae to any political group is idiotic. Why? The operative word is “group.” People involved weith political groups are social beings. Danae’s antisocial behavior bears little resemblance to even the worst of our politicians. She is (intentionally or not) a parody of third-world dictators. .Although dictators (and scarcely anyone else) shares her fetish for inventing weird ideas/stories and weirder twists of logic to “support” them just for the sake of bullying others. Ideology is what motivates almost all logic-twisting. Danae isn’t an ideologue. Just an industrial-strength conceit. Fortunately her lack of social skills prevents her from becoming a cult leader..Is Danae the anti-Ekert?

Your way late, we already had a president “Bubba”; Bill Clinton, whom I voted for twice.

Wiley, just got around to watching that You Tube thing..Ha! Nice….So Danae really is your alter ego! I knew it.

I prefer “They’re coming to take me away, haha.”

Is this where we just put pedal to metal and floor it? Just grab that highway run over any and all naysayers?…… That could be fun….. yeah.

This must be the same logic that says that man evolved from monkeys even though monkeys still exist.
