Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 17, 2013
Transcript:
Danae: So... back from the future, Jeffrey? Jeffrey: Yeah. Danae: And what did you learn? Jeffrey: Well... I can't say much, because it could alter events, but I can tell you that I go into medical research and become the head of the C.D.C. Danae: Ok, and...? Jeffrey: And... what? Danae: You know what. Jeffrey: *sigh* Ok, Ok... and... there's no zombie apocalypse. But I'm guessing that's 'cuz as head of the C.D.C., I prevent it from happening. Danae: Shrieek I give up! Jeffrey: Wow... so much for gratitude.

Who says Sunday comics can’t continue the story? You just have to be good…And Wiley’s well known as being indisputably great,so it’s easy for him… but still, it’s pretty cool….

But, seriously, how do we know Jeffry isn’t already a zombie?" BTW, could he have come back ten seconds before he left? Because that would be kinda cool to see….

I bet Jeffery know what Danae’s going to become and he doesn’t dare tell her !Lá Fhéile Pádraig Shona!Happy Saint Patrick’s Day !

I love Danae’s expression in panel one….And is it just me, or is that thing bigger on the inside than it is on the outside? Now THAT’S ergonomics…..

Hard to take in no ZA for Jeffrey.
WillardMBaker over 11 years ago
Actually, the scale of third panel is larger. Note the size of Jeffery and how crowded it is in there for him.

He doesn’t want to tell her there married with children
Proginoskes over 11 years ago
@ Odd Dog: “they are” = they’re. “at that place” = there. “belonging to them” = their. I know, that’s so hard to remember, getting three common words correct.

Kid’s got a time machine and he choses to go into medical research?! He has no idea how to take advantage of technology.

So Jeffrey does fulfill his dream of fighting zombies.

In theory if you traveled to the future you would not be able to see what happens to yourself because you would of been a missing person sence the date you left. I think Wells discused about this in The Time Machine.
Tue Elung-Jensen over 11 years ago
He just didn´t go far enough into the future..

You mean we still have a country by the time you grow up?

Humanity NEEDS to create a self sustaining base on the Moon. The scientific benefits would be incredible, but it would also serve as a last-chance for humanity to survive a world threatening incident.
dabugger over 11 years ago
So, the kids mimicked the republicans who misuse meaningfulness to their advantage. Just a bit of pubescent hypocrisy.

self sustaining base on the moon. Since the moon does not have enough gravity to keep an atmosphere, that would be a good trick. How could you assure an unending amount of the gases need to breathe and sustain plant life, as well as a working food chain. Until anti gravity is invented, there is no way to keep 100% of the atmosphere needed for life.

Wow, I wasn’t expecting the conclusion today. I’ve heard you have to send in all the strips involved with a Sunday publication REALLY early, rather than just a couple weeks early as with weekday ones.
Surprised, and a little disappointed. A future trip could have been a good storyline.

Thank you Proginoskes……bad grammar always upsets me.

…And it is that kind of circular argument that keeps governments cloaked in secrecy and agencies like the TSA running.…They can’t exactly tell us what they have done to keep us safe, only that they have done it.…And we wonder why these governments and their agencies cost so much…

So…he doesn’t have a zombie in the time machine with him?
Mokurai over 11 years ago
Danae is confronted by the impossibility of convincing a nutjob conspiracy-type theorist of any form of truth, and is equally incapable of drawing the correct conclusion from this experience. Now where have we encountered that problem?
Has anybody been watching the coverage of CPAC?
Caddy57 over 11 years ago
Nothing to see here folks….just move along…..
Ernest Lemmingway over 11 years ago
Humans in the modern world achieving, much less maintaining, self-sustaining practices. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!! Now tell me the one about Bigfoot and the honest politician! Humanity has proven, time and time again, that they’re either too apathetic or too greedy to change their ways. The zombies that kill us off won’t be walking corpses, they’ll be us as we are right now. Blindly thinking “things will be better in the future.” That’s the thing about “the future;” it soon becomes the present.
Jason Case over 11 years ago
By that you mean that she would change?
Hunter7 over 11 years ago
Did Jeffrey go far enough into the future? Just because he discovered he was head of the CDC doesn’t mean he stopped the Zombies. Only that there were none around when he was in the future.
Caddy57 over 11 years ago
Aaaand it won’t be long until they start calling him Doctor What…..becaaaaause drum roll please…..Doctor Who is already taken…..YESSSSSSSSS
ossiningaling over 11 years ago
Sure there’s no zombie apocalypse. If you don’t count the CDC being run by booger-brained boys!

grammar police? lol. just incredible ignorance in spelling. that is enough in itself. the ability to communicate, say what you want and have someone else other than you get it. with Google as a dictionary, it’s hard to believe bad spelling isn’t a personal attack on the minds of others. The zombies of language. just hurts to see bad language in the age of the internet. more Repubican behavior. no attempt to be “factual”.
lol. somethings never change.
