Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 25, 2016

Let me guess. She didn’t do the “book report”. More precisely, she didn’t read the book

Yesterday was ""Happy Turkey Day". Today is “Shop Till You Drop day”. I hope everyone bulked up yesterday so they have the stamina today

Fs happen – get over it.

Do they still make kids repeat grades? You know, until they get it right? (And realize being a smart ass has it’s own built in limitations?)

Danae’s version of spirituality has more in common with Scientology than spirituality. The credo of the confidence man or woman selling a product to the “morons” she can get to buy. Fortunately she hasn’t found the benefits of a higher education so she will be handicapped by her lack of knowledge.

Ahhh, the old irresistible force meets the immovable object……..I love the face of the teacher, especially in panel four….

If she had my parents, she would be in for a great awakening of her spirituality….

And Dad just has to ride with it.

What Danae hasn’t realized yet is that stuff happens to her, too, not just other people.

When the ethereal realm, of transcendental thought, encounters the hard core reality, of human existence, it is akin to a bug hitting the windshield at 60 mph.

A great big Splat !!! for Danea.

Ewww! Forgot the psycho-goth is back! I’ll revisit in a week!

Danae, your mantra is incomplete, since it doesn’t address situations where stuff — e.g., your book report — doesn’t “happen”.

In psychoanalytic theory, reaction formation (German: Reaktionsbildung) is a defensive process (defense mechanism) in which emotions and impulses which are anxiety-producing or perceived to be unacceptable are mastered by exaggeration (hypertrophy) of the directly opposing tendency.

Danae Pyle, what are you trying to do to my beloved school?

For Danae, it did not quite happen; the missing step. . .

So his last name is Pyle?

The weakness with Danae’s mantra is that it can be used in reverse against her . . . “Here’s your ‘F’, stuff happens, get over it” (LOL)

Excellent discussion, except at times I lost tract of whom was being discussed.

Oh my Gahd!! I just realized Danae’s destiny is to be President of the United States!

What Danea doesn’t realize is that stuff can happen to her too.

“Danea Meets Lucy (from Peanuts)!!”: Cage match or instant sympatico?

Schools don’t have to flunk students anymore, they just drop out and run the streets…..Trust me, you don’t want them in your classroom anyway…
