Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 02, 2010
Transcript:
Danae: What's with the mirror, Jeffrey? Jeffrey: It's not a mirror anymore, Danae. I made it into an ID self-realization projector. Danae: O-o-o-kay... What does it do? Jeffrey: It taps into the subconscious and reflects how you really see yourself and the world. My theory is, the projection from the psyche will help people see their character flaws. Danae: Pictures from my brain? This I've gotta see... Whoa... Cool! So when do I see the character flaws? Jeffrey: ...A-a-and another theory bites the dust...

She’s not the only one trying to rule the world. Don’t pander to her.

She kinda reminds me of Godzilla…

Again; WHAT character flaws? HAR! Normal 2-year-old behavior, in a -what- 8, 9-year-old body?
Justice22 about 14 years ago
While the machine shows the flaws, that doesn’t mean the person can recognize them. Imagine some of your acquaintances on this machine. ???? Would they or wouldn’t they???

what outsiders might see as a flaw, I see as an asset.

For heavens sake, please put every politician on the machine, before they are elected, so that we get to see what they really think and not what they want us to see. COOL machine if ever one was invented.

Hahaha, another brilliant one Wiley! No wonder you won Best Comic Strip! Congratulation on that!

Like when they put Zaphod into the Total Perspective Vortex….
FlashfyreSP about 14 years ago
Yeah, but that only worked ‘cuz he was in a ‘suitcase universe’. So he really WAS the center of the universe, in a sense.

I am so pleased to see Danae - I missed her and her egotism.

It must be tough for the judges to decide! I know, sorry to say, that I couldn’t do it. All of my favs would win. Here’s to ya, though!

CONGRATS WILEY!
Have you ever been to the White House cartoonists dinner? Whom have you rubbed elbows with among your fellow cartoonists?

Flaws are for the weak!

It is impossible to improve on perfection. The greedy mortals wouldn’t understand.
cleokaya about 14 years ago
Terrific, I love the transformation in Danae from the first image in the mirror to the second.
celeconecca about 14 years ago
Was anyone surprised to see Danae’s inner psyche? Funny! Rayannina - i agree
lazygrazer about 14 years ago
I actually have one of those !#@*! mirrors. Flaws are all I can see.
ottod Premium Member about 14 years ago
Sadly, it’s one of those things most of us don’t grow out of.

Jeez….. I wish I’d had that machine BEFORE I married my ex-husband. What a time saver that would have been.

“Monsters from the ID.” How very ‘Forbidden Planet’.
BTW, is that a new Quantum 42 computer that Jeffrey is using?
lindz.coop Premium Member about 14 years ago
Love it!!! I only wish I had had a few of Danae’s “character flaws” at her age. If she were a boy, this would be considered perfectly ok and even cute.
Do we really feel the need to put other people down for their comments on a site that is supposed to be fun? Folks have a right to say what they want here, and there are folks who make comments that are far worse than anything Joe ever says. Give it a rest!!
MatureCanadian about 14 years ago
Wiley, can your adoring public influence the judges? We would be glad to help.
Long live Danae. Poor Jeffrey, he tries so hard .
bmonk about 14 years ago
The self-idealization projector reminds me of Barry B. Longyear’s gadget in “The House of If.” That inventor didn’t realize what he had either.
