Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 24, 2009

Yes.

Oops, I think Lars missed his cue. CUT! Come on people let’s get it together. Take 2, roll ‘em!

Send in the stunt doubles.

i admire Danae’s belief system

No, the time to panic is when you hit the grou… SPLAT - too late to panic now.

keep the faith danae! any moment now…. she’s totally right, its true..

Yes, no way Wiley is going to kill off Danae! Sort of takes the fun out of it, doesn’t it?

Either this drop is about a mile or this fall was drawn in slow motion.

Capt Eddie will save them

gotta love the smug look on Danae’s face in the fifth panel!

DON”T PANIC!

…At least, not before things get worse.

Wiley just wants to streech this storyine into the weekend.

I think it’s more like a game than a movie. And we don’t get mulligans or a chance to reshoot a scene.

In a movie with live actors, there’d be a giant air cushion on the ground, and in animated cartoons, there’s always that tree branch hanging out for them to grab hold of, so let’s wait and see what happens tomorrow.

Danae being politically correct? Oh wait, it is her belief under question.

Never mind.

Not all movies have a happy ending.

I respect all belief systems… and now believe I’ll have another drink.

What freedom, to freefall and belive.

Keeping up a conversation during an endless fall! Just how high up are they?

either a soft landing, an in flight rescue or a suspension of gravity….. ok, hit me…….

Too true. Tempting to yell “Cut” sometimes, huh?

Or “Do over”

Do they have Superman on Mars 3.5?

where’s the little green box that goes in the lower right corner of the last panel that says “stay tooned”……

Something should save them……if not, we will just move on

Ask the Roadrunner what he would do in this situation. Never mind, he just hits the ground and sinks in several feet. But cheer up, he always survives!

hey guys rember that non-sequitur is a literary device:

It is a comment which, due to its apparent lack of meaning relative to what it follows

So expect the two to be saved in some similar manner (maybe captain eddie’s cat opens a wormhole or Ordinary Basil and his friend swoop down on a air-vehicle).

COOL!

brewwitch, you cracked me up! So true……. I laughed out loud. ……(Hey, letters were on sale yesterday….)

Wiley, I know what’s gonna happen. But I ain’t sayin’…. so there….

Gravity on Mars is only about 38% of Earth’s. Maybe the kids will land on Spirit or Opportunity and get their gears working again.

all the worlds a stage… or is this just a nightmare?

If no one’s guessed right, then does that mean you already know what is going to happen? How far in advanced do you have this strip written, if you don’t mind my asking?

Wiley said: ”I am pleased to see that NONE of you have come even close to guessing what’s going to happen.”

Ok, gang….I see this comment as a challenge to tap into the buzzing mind of Wiley. I accept the challenge…..

I bet those little “bubbly” things following their fall are a meaningful clue….suggesting their suspended in, um….a liquid of sorts?

….Next batter!

A fall won’t hurt you. It’s the sudden stop at the end that ruins your whole day. Ask Wiley Coyote, he’s an expert – accordion body and all – while the Roadrunner watches the splat!, goes Beep Beep, and runs on his merry way.

Ya can”t change the laws of physics!! Sorry Scotty….that having been said where’s Lars and what’s taking him so long?

. “Beam them up” ordered the Captain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I myself share Danae’s belief system….and just like the movies, that cute girl in the cubicle down the hall that I can’t get up the nerve to talk to will walk over to me and kiss me out of the blue, and our whirlwind romance can begin….ah, sweet movies…

Well, the Pterodactyl (or whatever) has already shown signs of intelligence and taste by not eating those disgusting alien lifeforms. I am betting we are about to meet another denizen of Mars 3.5

Just have’ta “toon” in Seems folks are an impatient lot!!

It’s in the fullness of time Grasshoppers:D

so what?
