Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 08, 2016

Well, moldy food can grow some very strange things…

Want an apple?

The parable is that man was bringing in the bread from day one?

Awe, I like Wiley bunnies, too….But I am surprised he didn’t ask for a beer…Um, or at least a Red Apple Ale

That’s exactly right, Danae.

I bet the unicorns were tasty.

What about the strips w/ Adam beering it up w/ the bears BEFORE Eve came?

Hey, what’s on the menu at the tea party….Wait for it…….Ribs?

BTW, is that Mrs. God in the fist panel?

Love the daintily-crooked finger on the teacup!

So man arose from the priMOLDial mass?

I didn’t realize Paulie was that old.

Danae’s legend is better than most myth.

Since the story of Genesis has been used to trash women for centuries, why shouldn’t they get equal time?

Just wonderful, especially the captain’s cat Paulie on a tree branch.

Let’s get down and dirty!

Paulie is eternal!

One day God looked in the garden of Eden and saw Adam was sad. So He went to Adam and asked what was wrong. Adam said “I have no one to talk with. The animals are all unable to talk.” God says “I will make a mate for you. She will cook your food, clean up for you, make your clothes, and never argue with you.” Adam says “Whats it going to cost me?” God says “An arm and a leg.” Adam asks “What can I get for a rib?”………………and the rest is history.

a superior creation myth.

Dr, Fogg, Yeah….And it makes me wonder…I wonder if Mrs. God has a hot little sister……..

In many religions one of the gods is a prankster, or trickster….I think that is a really cool touch…..

In Terry Pratchett’s Faust Eric life on Disk is created in exactly the same way.

A Lady fair, of lineage high,Was loved by an Ape, in the days gone by.The Maid was radiant as the sun,The Ape was a most unsightly one,The Ape was a most unsightly oneSo it would not doHis scheme fell through,For the Maid, when his love took formal shape,Express’d such terrorAt his monstrous error,That he stammer’d an apology and made his ’scape,The picture of a disconcerted Ape.

With a view to rise in the social scale,He shaved his bristles and he docked his tail,He grew mustachios, and he took his tub,And he paid a guinea to a toilet club,He paid a guinea to a toilet clubBut it would not do,The scheme fell throughFor the Maid was Beauty’s fairest Queen,With golden tresses,Like a real princess’s,While the Ape, despite his razor keen,Was the apiest Ape that ever was seen!

He bought white ties, and he bought dress suits,He crammed his feet into bright tight bootsAnd to start in life on a brand new plan,He christen’d himself Darwinian Man!He christen’d himself Darwinian Man!But it would not do,The scheme fell throughFor the Maiden fair, whom the monkey crav’d,Was a radiant Being,With a brain farseeingWhile Darwinian Man, though well-behav’d,At best is only a monkey shaved!

—W. S. Gilbert: “Princess Ida”

22 And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created; and they must have remained forever, and had no end.23 And they would have had no children; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin.24 But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.25 Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy. 2 Nephi 2:22-25

Now THAT makes sense
