Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 22, 2012

Excellent – I like it

This guy is bipolar. (2 polar bears that is)

it’s simple really… just make a pipeline from canada to texas and dig up the tar sands… uh… no wait the ice and pump it through the pipe line to the deserts of the southwest

Maybe the bears are tired of frozen seafood and just want to go with and get warm? I hear Tahiti’s pretty comfy this time of year…

This is where the Christmas strip left off. Maybe he will catch up to Santa’s reindeer and the bears can feed on them since Santa left the deer floating away.

looks like some yellow snow forming around that guys boots.

He’s about to have a Kodiak moment.

Nice to see he has plenty of bear steaks to make it to Tahiti with. Just go easy on the livers, you’ll get vitamin A poisoning if you eat too much.

This highlights the ever present percentage of unintended consequences.Nothing is cut and dry.

so, that’s where the polar bears came upon that lost island.

This just in: The cartoonist Wiley Miller was eaten by a very well drawn bear in his studio late last night, …

Panel 2. What a beautiful drawing. The cabin is great.

I just interviewed the bears…They say Wiley tasted funny……

Radish, after the next two centuries of Chinese dominance, French Canadians will rule the world! So sayeth the Varnes of Ackley…..

oh my god. your one of us.

the door is right there.gee,how fast can Pierre,be?

It is 2012 when the world is supposed to end. Guess it will be by melting according to the latest predictions.

It’s a COMIC strip, Dude!

The idea was researched at Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. It proved successful in scale model testing, in the same facility that tests new yacht designs for the America’s cup. Unfortunately, the researcher passed away before the scale model test could be upgraded to a full scale test.

I’d love to see Rush Limbaugh in this situation.

The Exxon Valdez captain said “No, I wanted a TANQUERAY on the rocks.”

Bipolar Bears swing both ways.

“Pierre Of The North”Chapter OneThe end.

Always something to get in the way!!

This is a NRA moment. Pull out your laser sighted glock and blow them away. I just love that pre 1970 outboard motor.

Sing along now "I like to teach the world to sing . . . "

Just had to ask the fatal question, didn’t he?

In the words of Rick Perry — “Ooops.”

I remember when California SERIOUSLY considered bringing ice flows south for water- in the late 1950’s and early ’60’s. PIerre just wants to reinstate the bear population in the “bear flag republic”, more power to him!

I read a short story years ago about a future world very short on water. The story centered on a ship that “harvested” icebergs. They would put them in a capture net, spray them with a reflective coating to slow melting, and then tow them to the highest bidder (which was often Los Angeles). Of course, this was before climate change put icebergs on the endangered list.

I wonder if one of those bears ended up at Sherman’s Lagoon. . .

Westman64 – I wish Sherman’s Lagoon was available on this site! Any idea where it is located?

Wiley, another awesome cartoon, thank you!

In his novel “Oath of Fealty” Larry Niven has an iceberg that was towed into LA harbor that is used for for fresh water and as a recreation area (skiing and ice-climbing)

look, look, Pierre shall once again be saved when someone tastier comes along. Such as eco tourist who has barely spent much time outdoors.

Such GREAT art Wiley! Love it.

One of the ways we’ve been coping with less money is going to the used book stores instead of the mall ones. I’ve come across a lot of the books I enjoyed when I was young.

TEXAS ON THE ROCKS by Daniel Da Cruz

I remember that story. There are a number of sci-fic stories by various authors that have eyed the ice in Saturn’s rings and the comets that wander through for sources of water.

IIRC, in WW II, the allies studied the possibility of creating a carrier out of floating ice.

Here, I thought it was going to be a joke about a house-boat. :-(
