Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 27, 2010

At least someone came for you.

“Whatyamean OUR signal fire??”

The bad news is…

Looks like a GRIM situation. They are going to REAP the consequences of their actions.

Wow, that Grim Reaper fellow really gets around the comics! (He’s often found at Eek, for example.)

All our times have come Here but now they’re gone Seasons don’t fear the reaper Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are Come on baby…don’t fear the reaper Baby take my hand…don’t fear the reaper We’ll be able to fly…don’t fear the reaper Baby I’m your man…

Blue Oyster Cult

reap!

@GreenJade: He has to! As I been saying (with very little response from the posters), he has lots of catching up to do since his series, The Grim Adventures OF Billy & Mandy was canceled!

Maybe he’s in a banana boat because he is a Jamaican reaper.

Or because daylight come, and everyone go home.

WHAT if death is on a holiday?

The GR seems to get a lot of ink in this strip.

…not that I’m complaining….

I’m sure Death isn’t there to take a holiday.

@ Grog Well Joe Holiday will be glad to hear that, but the other castaway might be a little upset

Styx stinks

Oops.

He’s coming to take you away today.

He gets around.

He has come to help him to cross the river Styx

They shouldn’t have had the salmon mousse.

BTW, Styx rocks!

Story of my life. I’m keeping a copy.

Why do we so often see the Grim Reaper on the beach, as in Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 film “The Seventh Seal”? You can see this famous scene and “The Seventh Skol” an animated parody of this same scene, at The Family Plot Blog (Aug. 20 and 23 posts) http://thefamilyplot.wordpress.com/

Grim Reaper uses a banana boat because Boody sank his other boat.

See Mythickle.

Sorry, poor economy Mr. Reaper! We can’t pay so go away, the sand will eat us anyway.

Life is a game of chess with the Reaper. All you can do is try to stay in the game as long as you can. You can’t win….

Come Mister Tally man! tally me banana!

The Grim Reaper comes for everyone, eventually.

Gotta’ love the reaper.

Good thing their fire worked. If not, they might have to stay there for the rest of their… oh, wait a minute…

Ah, yes, the three laws of thermodynamics say it all:

Conservation of Energy = You can’t win. Entropy = You can’t break even. Enthalpy = And you can’t leave the game!

@Sisyphos he’s also found at LIO’s house quite a bit :)

Wait, LINEBACKER UP, were you making a reference to Cutty Sark? My stepdad was quite fond of it. :-D

More cowbell!

What, no psychiatrist’s couch? No flying saucer? No mountain-top guru? No Pearly Gates?

My old sis the EE told me once, that mechanical engineers make weapons, and civil engineers… make targets!

I keep thinking, we should get together and make livingry, like Bucky Fuller suggested!
