Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 20, 2019

I think you got them to both agree who REALLY needs to be fitted for that casket here.

At least he’s not dealing with bears.

Yup, this town is big enough for the both of us. But it ain’t big enough for the three of us. So long, stranger.

This casket is not big enough for the two of them

(the therapist and his chair).

The undertaker’s the only predictable winner. Maybe he will keep the chair?

High noon. Everybody showed up on time, so that’s a start.

He probably forgot to smile when he said that.

And the winner gets a lovely armchair, coffee cup and table.

That is as smart as a hole in the cranium!

A humorous illustrated lesson on how an injudicious display of “Perspective” can get one dead.

Drawing a drawing of a draw is daring. I love hump day. Woo Hoo!

This cartoon used to be witty and humorous. What happened?

Sad. Truly sad. But, we all have our slumps.

Looks like his job as a therapist is shot.

Isn’t that what March Madness is all about?

I liked it!

They both agreed that the town wasn’t big enough for a conflict therapist. They had a ballistic breakthrough that opened up hole new avenues for the therapist.

Anyone not liking this is either a therapist or a snowflake PC.

Wasn’t it Wiley who once did a cartoon about needing a better sign on the office door of “the rapist”?

Is that Dennis Haysbert in the middle?

Ka-POW!

I like it!

The drawing alone makes it worth reading. Whole lotta nuance ! Look at the gunfighters’ poses – elbows up, shoulders hunched..it’s a small masterpiece. (But I can live without the damn bears…)

The seating chart had a fatal flaw.

A little different perspective on this; I doubt that this scene ever really happened in the frontier towns in the 19th century. The face off in the middle of the street with a quick draw contest was probably an invention of Hollywood. I think most of the gun violence in the old west was ambush like. Kind of like we have now.

Squashed by government and big media to be more politically correct. Maybe Wiley has been replaced. Is he being held under house arrest or maybe sent to Guantanamo for reeducation forced to read tweets from our glorious leader. Although I have to admit on second reading I do like today’s strip. Wry and subtle…

I Miss Captain Edy . . .

but on the plus side, they did go in the saloon afterwards and bought each other a drink

He was the fastest notation in the West!

Dunno. Maybe “witty and humorous” passed you by.
