Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 26, 2022

That’s funny, I see an ice cream sundae.

The next Warhol?

Bob let his hair grow out.

Vision quest

Starving artist isn’t usually a voluntary move, there, Bob.

I thought ALL artist are on a starvation diet.

I think that burger is life size

Let’s put a happy little hamburger right about here.

I think I shall never see… A Big Mac as lovely as a tree.

Bob’s Burgers: The Saga Begins.

Scenery looks more like a Sunny side up egg

Is that Bob Ross?

If Bob Ross painted a cheeseburger:

“Let’s put an almighty beef patty in front of those happy little clouds, and… there. Now then, let’s take the fan brush and add some happy little lettuce, tomato, and cheese… right there. Mmm mmm. Now with the round brush, I’m gonna give this burger a top half of the bun, and then… and then, so he’s not lonely, we’ll give him the bottom half of the bun because everyone needs a friend, even a burger bun. Now comes the fun part: we just wash the brush in odorless paint thinner, shake it off, beat the devil out of it, and give multi-color freckles to the camera crew. I highly, highly, recommend you do this in a waste paper basket with a brush beater rack. It’ll save your happy home and your marriage. Okay, we’ll take the liner brush, dip it in some paint thinner, and make some ‘hwite’ paint as thin as ink, and add some sesame seeds to that bun. I think we got ourselves a finished painting, so we’ll sign this painting and with that, I want to wish you happy painting and God bless.”

At least he didn’t paint a can of tomato soup. That would add insult to injury.

He’s an Egg-McMuffin fugitive. Guess it’s a good thing he wasn’t brought up on oatmeal.

I see boobs, 2 of ‘em.

I see a giant pimple.

You never realize how many commercials there are for restaurants and fast-food joints there are on TV until you are on a diet.

I love the smell of oxymoron in the morning.

I like the way the light plays off that pickle.

Sadly, the starvation diet appears to be a current popular diet in which one cuts the daily intake of calories in half (e.g., 600 instead of the 1200 considered necessary to sustain life) or fasts. Obviously person can lose weight this way, but it may not be the kind of weight that one can afford to lose. Because the body isn’t provided with the fuel it needs to function properly, the metabolism slows down and muscles, bones, organs, water mass, etc. have to do with less. Loss of muscle mass means reduced strength and endurance. Reduced water mass can lead to dehydration. Reduced bone mass (density) can make one more prone to injury and can lead to osteoporosis. Reduced organ mass can mean a reduction in their abilities to function properly, which can result in a plethora of health problems.

Bob does actually look like he needs to go on a diet.

On survival training, after a couple of days, you start licking the toothpaste just to have some flavor in your month.

This could also be “painting when starting on intermittent fasting”

why are foods we craved in our youth, do come to haunt us in our dotage? Whatever childhood we be in it is best served by the deliciousness of cheese on that there hamburger; maybe double doses of cheese for what ails you.

And the ad with this comic is for a T-shirt with a food slogan

" the only BS I need is

BEER and SUNSHINE "

Bob should never have quit his job on Madison Ave. as an illustrator.

Mt. Fuji?

Starvation is serious.

I know that it’s not the case today, but one thing I’d like to see is Whatchamacallit spun off into its own strip so Non Sequitur can become solely a single panel strip.

Apparently people really do paint landscape paintings outside instead of based on a photograph. https://goo.gl/maps/rWYRCmtgU76MXfNeA

He “begins to think” it wasn’t a good idea. Was there a time when he did think it was a good idea to starve?

Sno-cone or shaven ice?

Would you like fries with that?

Cheeseburger in paradise.

I see an egg Sunnyside up!

If he were Andy Warhol he’d make a killing.

If you can get rich by painting a soup can, he should do as well with a hamburger.

Wow, Bob again.
