Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 15, 2012

By the end of the day someone will be blaming this on global warming.

my friend calls them her power surges

It certainly is global warmings . . about a billion of them :-) Apologies, that was lame :-(

So, with the increase in the over 45 women, does this account for Global Warming?

You’ve got a hot one there. Just call her the “Flash.”

When read this strip, I said, here’s a Non Sequitor that they can’t politicize. You guys are much more creative than I gave you credit for.

My wife describes them as her “personal summers”.

Not everyone born in Maine talks like a backwoods hick. Most of the people I know that live up here don’t talk like grandma does. It’s actually REALLY rare, and usually from older people. And I’ve yet to talk to anyone that says ‘a-yup’. Although I’ll say it on occasion just for grins. This is not to be confused with a Boston accent where most of them talk like that.

“foom”…like it.

Look out Kate an Danae not mess with someone ya might get melted too….

I also was glad to connect the dots between Danae and Flo, but I still can’t even begin to figure out what the image in the logo is supposed to be. It looks vaguely Danae-ish.

the inner child is playing with matches

Been sending my spousal unit out for several years now to do this. Doesn’t clear the whole walk, but saves many swings of the shovel! Of course this year, we’re hoping tonight’s “storm” may be the first time to bring the shovels, or spouses, out this “winter”.

That ain’t the case with my dad but he’s wishing it was…

Hot flashes my eye, they are merely short circuts.

I hear music. I envision a Broadway musical. “Menopause: The Superpowered Musical.” I see the cast, headlined by Elaine Stritch.

Originally Joe Pyle, the father, was host of a NPR like radio show based in DC (at least I think it was in DC) so presumably he had worked hard to lose his “Downeaster” accent. The girls having been raised in DC probably would not have a New England accent to begin with. They moved back to Maine after his divorce and disillusionment with main stream media.

I had heard the kids call Flo Gran-ma but thought that was an affectionate name like calling your Mom’s best friend Aunt-So and so.

The art work in panels 3 and 5 are exquisite…

Any way you look at it, hot flashes are a damned nuisance!

My wife only had half a hot flash. She is still in it a quarter century later.

My wife just hit me for laughing at this……………….

I’m lucky that I never had any of the oddities that other women have at any age, perhaps because I indulge my desires.

Me too and it doesn’t stop when you go off the meds — residuals.

My wife used to get them, but somehow she transferred them to me!
