Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 30, 2021

Whenever we saw a car parked in a wheelchair spot without the appropriate registration we say " mentally handicapped "

Those spaces are for the good drivers and not the putt putt putters.

I’ve always wondered… at the Paralympics, do they have special parking for non-handicapped people?

The rows of “For cancer clinic patients only” evoke respectful figurative pause as I keep rolling towards the far end of the hospital lot.

Wiley, How come all of your drawings of middle-aged golfers look like me?

Am I missing point of cartoon, or the other folk writing comments? In golf a low handicap is a good thing. (If I still had one, it would probably be about 37.) So a reserved spot for someone with a low handicap is a privilege not associated with a physical limitation. Wiley is playing with different meanings of the word handicap (as I read/understand today’s panel).

FORE!

I’m looking forward to the day when I see a golf cart parked across two parking spaces so it doesn’t get scratched. (…now that I think about it, maybe a Tesla would count)

¿Sun City, Arizona or The Villages, Florida?

This would be funnier if it were for handicaps 10 or over.

The local grocery store has marked spots for everything else, so why not? All the close places are handicap, pregnant, pharmacy pickup, veteran, fireman, hero, etc.

I wish these cartoons were larger. Even with “magnifier” on, it is poor enough resolution I can’t see details well.

“10 or under” 10 what ?

At age 76, I certainly qualify for those “seniors” parking spots, but I don’t really need one, so I leave them for someone who does.

Now that we are talking about it, how come Home Depot has 35 empty handicap spaces and the Physical Therapy Center has only one spot?

Ah yes, parking for the privileged. I’m disabled. When I go to the commissary or the military exchange, the closest parking space is labeled “Commanding General.” Next to that are three spaces “O-6 and above only.” Then a single spot for “Pregnant women only.” The handicapped spaces are several rows further away.

We always used to say, “There’s the right way, the wrong way, and the Army way.”

10 & Under? Those guys don’t need it. How about 16 & Over??
