Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 25, 2010

Oh, no. Please, no reality.

And certainly a time before @#!& spammers

Well, the spammers can certainly be classified as stupid and annoying. Grrrrrr….

I don’t think Danae realizes the time sheet looking for is the one she in right now.

What the he11 is a BCE?

JUST…

FLAG EM!

hey- make sure you have google maps with you don’t want to get lost

IIRC, BCE is PC 4 BC

How about the age of enlightment?

That’s easy, go back to when humans hadn’t evolved yet!

That certainly would be before Cell Teles!

Absolutely classic.

BCE: Before Common Era. Yes, it’s the PC substitute for BC. CE, Common Era, is the PC substitute for AD. Don’t even get me started on how stupid these are. If you want to start a fist fight among historians (seriously!), just ask a bunch of them which they prefer, and wait for the fireworks.

I think she’ll need to go into the future…but how far is the question.

Palos, Are you saying that stupidity and annoyance started with your birth?

I think Grog is on the right track. Unfortunately, I think it will have to be waaaaaaayyyy in the future before we stop being stupid. I’m not so sure we can get over the annoying part, however.

“Luddite 1811, from name taken by an organized band of weavers who destroyed machinery in Midlands and northern England 1811-16 for fear it would deprive them of work. Supposedly from Ned Ludd, a Leicestershire worker who in 1779 had done the same before through insanity (but the story was first told in 1847). Applied to modern rejecters of automation and technology from at least 1961.” AKA - Me

That would be before stinky booger brained boys?

Reality…… I only go there as a visitor

“Reality is silly putty.” -Paul Krassner

Send Danae to tomorrow Jeffrey. Then she’ll always be a day away.

How about going back to the time when people started usng profanity (cussing)?

@Josh, I’m sure as soon as speech was invented, a man got angry with something/someone and there was some version of profanity. I have studied a great deal about the evolution of our language as a recreator of early centuries…

Time travel is like any other form of travel–just about anyplace/time you go will be better than where you are now… especially if you remember to make reservations at a four-star resort.

When Danae puts on her ‘charming’ smile as in the third frame, I have but one thought….

“Be Afraid – Be Very Afraid.”

Danae, the time period you’re looking for is just before God said “Let us make man in our image……”

When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my Non Sequitur for the day. It quickly absorbs me and banishes the clouds from my mind. Bv)=

i was going to say she should go to before Eve ate the apple, but the guys in B.E. probably wouldn’t agree. And i am positive that Danae would not think highly of the guys in B.E.!

If everyone you meet is stupid and annoying, will going to other times (or places) make a difference?

If everyone you meet is stupid or annoying, maybe the problem isn’t them…

Try going back before the 1st politician was born

You can tell in panel 3 that she knows that time period never existed.

All these oldies and no on learned from the Twilight Zone that you can’t find happiness anywhere if you aren’t happy with yourself. And the craziest, meanest fools in the world are ALWAYS happy with themselves when they’re in charge. Danae will never be happy unless she’d in an era run by Danae. So she will never be…(Rod Serling moment. Too bad it doesn’t include real writing talent.)

Even if they go to a time when there weren’t any other people, there would still be two, one of which finds the other at least annoying…
