Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 18, 2020

Well, if you ever want to earn some money, take a look at your future.

Is that Pennywise the clown ?

I sure never foresaw my current shape from when I was that age. ’Course I never managed to wrap my head around the idea of actually being ¼ of a century old either.

Run. Run now, and never look back!

At least he’s practicing social distancing.

As long as I don’t see a grave in the mirror, I’m good.

The Destiny Hall of Mirrors, aka the House of Horrors! How is that busty cheerleader going to like discovering that in the future she will be buying her bras in a 39 Long!

In the third mirror, he’s dead.

“OMG, I turned into a voter!”

I finally got one of those mirrors. It’s in my bathroom.

Well it must be one of those mirrors. Please let it be one of those mirrors. ;-)

And, from further on in line: “Quasi? Aren’t you enjoying the Quackadewwo?”

A true comment on society; so many of the 60’s radicals wound up wearing suits and ties…..

He’s got all that to look forward to …

I’ve never minded growing older, some of my friends never got the chance…

It rather shocked me when I looked in the mirror and saw my mom. Now I look and see my grandma. Yikes!

In mid-1980’s in a friendly kidding session, some of my punster students joked that I my music was old, my jokes were old, and I was old, bald—headed, bow-legged, and overweight At the time I was in my early 40’s and in very good physical shape and they knew that. My reply was to suggest they take a good look at any elderly relative who they most resembled. Then I told them that one day years hence they would look into their mirrors and see that exact face and shape. And there, looking over their shoulders would be me, laughing. I know some of them are seeing and remembering the old guy’s prophecy right now. Payback is awesome. Bwah-ha-ha-haaa!!

I am 65 going on 66, gained 100 lbs, lol. and still have same sex desire as I had at 1, and the same luck with females too ha ha zilch

that should have been have at 15-16 lol getting so old I cant type, fingers must be good for something….sticking in my ears so I don’t hear the women complain.

Those mirrors are on the floor, attached to spring loaded boards that come up quickly and smack you very hard right in the face.

The people that should be in the mirrow are at their jobs.

FIRST REAL LAUGH OF THE DAY! Hey, kid, if you’re lucky, you won’t have to carry a briefcase; you’ll find other work more gratifying than corporate USA—such as drawing comics!

Dorian Gray.

It’s a rare comic that gets a Snort! and a giggle. I was prematurely bald and out of shape in high school; fifty years later – same. Even weigh the same.

Three blind mice,Deepest fear.Welcome to the House of Mirr’rs…

I am a child of the 60’s who is now in his 70’s. What happened to our generation? Where are the protests against the establishment – especially the current establishment? Have we all sold out to “the man?”

Maybe it is the generations in between. I am sure there are some good people (just like Trump believes that there are some good Mexicans), but the generalization is that they are mindless and selfish. They believe what they are told without questioning and love their neighbor only if they can choose WHO their neighbor is and as long as it doesn’t interfere with their being superior to them.

We live in fear of Mexicans, Muslims, gays, Chinese, women who do not “know their place”, the browning of America and even things as trivial as running out of toilet paper. How is it that we still have enough fear left to worry about dying from a disease or the financial turmoil it is causing?

Oh wait, finance is fine, don’t worry about that, the Stock Market is doing well. You should not worry about paying YOUR bills, your government doesn’t worry about paying theirs.

Things were simpler in my day, all I worried about was being nuked out of existence by a multi-megaton Soviet weapon.

Please tell me I am wrong. Where is the voice of reason?

Hey hey kids, where are you

Nobody tells you what to do, baby

Hey hey kids, shake a leg

Maybe you’re crazy in the head, baby

Sorry, Wiley, but we’re always thin and have full heads of hair when we look in the mirrors at that age. And, of course, no actions we take have any long term repercussions.

Well, if it was good enough for Jerry Rubin………. the fine capitalist that he became. Hey, a guy’s gotta eat and the big “C” is the only game in town.

Old saying “if I’d knowed I was going to live this long I woulda took better care of myself”!

Kill me now!

Huh. 20 year old me, with long hair and getting stoned all the time, would see 60 year old me, with long hair and getting stoned all the time.

A lot happened in between…

Growing old is not for the weak or faint hearted.

I want to find out if I lose weight.

Destined for a broken nose if it’s a simple straight hallway with a mirror on the end wall.

We are the people our parents warned us about!

Third mirror: Who’s the fairest of them all? Not you, bucko.

Me too

Hard to say who’s more disappointed.

I recall at about 50, looking in the mirror and seeing my mother…

You know when you’re over hill when your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill – Little Feat

Did that amusement park buy those mirrors from the Circus of Dr Lao?

Four score and seven years ago, I was born.

Perfect.

They need to focus on these instead of the story-based ones.
