Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 25, 2012

Danae, do what I do. Write up the entry in notepad, and save the file to hard disk repeatedly (since Microsoft screwed up the OS lately and causes notepad to crash periodically). When you’re done, throw the file into the sandbox to error check the formatting. When you’re done, copy back into notepad, then paste the finished results into the wiki entry. The advantage of this approach is that you can always update the hard disk copy when you’re offline (i.e. – at school).

And the dawning of the age of the revisionist futurist begins.

Danae has a severe case of delusions of grandeur and megalomania.

Cute? so is a pit bull!

A future legend in her own mind.

Prizes, Danae! It’s all about the prizes!!!

Updating future history is time consuming,

She could update her wardrobe while she is updating her future!

Maybe Dad was the one who corrected the information on her.

NOW I remember what I am going to do as soon as I remember what it was I was doing when I decided to figure out what I am going to do as soon as I remember what…

Can someone remind me of where this is going?

Unless it happens to be the Wikipedia editors’ extraneous self-serving garbage. Then it stays put.

Let me guess: She doesn’t save anything she writes.

Pulitzers must be for her fiction writing.

Has as much chance of happening as all the political speeches I’m seeing on TV. Every one of those boys is delusional. The current big cheese and all the wanna-bes.A mortgage in every pot and a nickel colonoscopy.

Danae is surely in the spirit of Churchill, who once said, “History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”

History? More like Herstory……

If you check out the list of Nobel Peace Prize winners, Danae is not being unrealistic.

The act of predicting the future changes it. Basic quantum theory there. .If Herman Cain hadn’t written that book about how he became president, he might have become the next occupant of the white house..On second thought, keep writing about your future, Danae…

Her entry will be " mostly harmless" or “sister of Kate”

So, I looked up Danae on Wiki. No luck. However there’s quite a nice entry on Wiley Miller. I think we should edit his awards with Danae’s future Nobels :-)

She’s got the “big dream” part down. Nobody told her that part was for HER to keep private UNTIL she did the work, though. You ever notice how it’s impossible to really believe in yourself if you tell other people about your great plans?

Sorry, little Miss D, there’s a ‘fourth wall’ in beliefs and plans, too…

This brat could only grow up to be a democrat.

Does Wikipedia have an article about Wikipedia?

Yup, a pretty good one…(I just checked.)

Life is good.

That’s “Celtic,” with a “C” at the start and end.

.

All the while Danae’s making a spectacle of herself, her sister Kate can go about the true means to rule the world: control the flow of money, information, and donuts. Especially the donuts.

That’s how all propaganda works. If the majority believes it, then by definition it’s “truth.” If I was able to convince the majority that kumquats were evil beings bent on world domination, then it’d be truth rather the rantings of a lunatic. We all know it’s not kumquats, it’s peaches.

She’d better- it’ll be a lot smaller and tighter in 20+ years.

That’s our Danae. Never thinking small. Plan and plot her future..What’s that old saying? Life is what happens when you’re making plans. And Danae has a lot of plans.

What ever happened to that big, flying, elephant looking thing that brought only good thoughts into the world? Danae could use it now!

I enjoy this strip so much. The drawing is intriguing and the content is always right on, appropriate, witty, delightfully ironic—something good each day.
