Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 19, 2012
Transcript:
Danae: I dunno, Jeffrey... contemplation is too slow... Jeffrey: That's what people said about Einstein. Danae: Huh? Jeffrey: When Einstein was a kid, everyone thought he was mentally slow because he would stop and contemplate a question instead of giving a snap answer... unfortunately, the world still wants speed over smarts. Teacher: Danae? It's been over 5 minutes since you raised your hand... we're waiting... Danae: Please... genius can't be rushed. Jeffrey: Sigh... what have I done? Later...

Especially when you’re dealing with Danae. Her middle name is probably Miranda, because anything you say can and will be used against you.

You got her to shut up and think: be grateful for the silence.

Then what is the residue of time spent getting wasted?

Doesn’t work in the classroom setting where mere memorized information is expected to be regurgitated, Danae.

@Arch StantonWhat did Einstein pass on this date? Third grade? His university exam? Gas? Another car on the road? The baton? A ball? ???

Wiley should have contemplated more before today’s strip. Sorry, didn’t even smile on the inside today. Funny bone left untickled. (Tho smile on Danae’s face came close!)

Just once can we have a discussion without bringing in politics?
.
Look on the bright side, Jefferey. Danae’s plot will implode as they always do. I see a visit to the principal’s office in her future, maybe a parent-teacher conference to discuss “special ed” classes. There’s a fine line between genius and madness, and we all know which side Danae falls on.

Danae will probably run into Agnes in the Principal’s office.
