Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 14, 2014

Forty years he shleps around this furshlugginer desert, and then what??? He picks the only place without any oil!!!!

If you want oil, all you gotta do is grow olives!

Don’t even get me started about the “milk and honey” thing.

Come on Mo, pick ‘em up and lay’em down. And that ain’t the talk he was talking about, BTW

First of all, never use any lines used by Sarah Palin.

It’s a good job none of that really happened—the snake, the Flood, the (somewhat repetitive) Plagues the Canaanite genocide.  Horrible! Even worse if it gave anyone ideas today..

Moses couldn’t even “talk the talk”. He had a stammer (Exodus 4:10), so he had his brother Aaron speak for him (Exodus 4:15-16).

@ Brass whatsit.  I’m glad you can at least get a laugh out of the pictures. The snake and the Flood were, I admit, gratuitous (look it up), but the point depicted in the cartoon is roughly half way between the silly Plagues and the vile genocide, and it would be disgusting if notions of a ‘god-given’ promised land were to prompt anyone today to try to emulate those ancient, putative Hebrews.

Only twenty years to go – hang in there, Mos’.

“Levi’s Sandal Repair – MMMCDIV cubits ahead.”

Decades of loyal service and he cuts my benefits just before retirement.

Simply wouldn’t ask directions. Hardheaded, then and now.

The first known example of someone writing a check with their mouth that their butt couldn’t cash. Also, why do I picture the scene from History of the World, Pt. I where Moses parts the sea because he’s being robbed?

The colorist didn’t even get to the halfway point before giving up.

No oil? You must be kidding…..I suggest you try reading the news sometime.http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-07-17/israel-s-deepest-well-targets-1-5-billion-barrels-of-oil.html

Thirdguy: Or wall them off from the owners. The majority of Israelis (and probably all of the Likud) are not even Semitic, but Askanazim, an Indo-European ethnos.

How did he talk the talk? He had a speech impediment. You could look it up, if you’re not familiar with the text. 8-)

Wiley,Do you follow a specific religion? If so which one? I notice you do a lot of religious cartoons.

@argyb

Of course there is evidence for Israelites and some of the Bible has some relationship to history, but THOSE Hebrews, ie the ones depicted in Genesis and Exodus not so much!

Sorry about the Arthritis, I only have a few twinges of it, just enough to sympathise with you.
