Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 19, 2012

No, because 60 is 50% older than 40. Therefore, 50% heavier than 120 would be 180 not 200.

Eat the desert very delicately…that way it won’t have any calories what so ever.

Eat while standing. ah the hell with it. Just enjoy.

Sounds like his Objection is going to be Overruled.

Yes, Dear, Yes Dear…Yes..Dear…No, Dear, Of course not, Dear. Yes, Dear…Anything you say Dear… (Gotta know how to treat a woman, eh?)

The guy to the right of them in the picture,,,He did a spit take when he overheard her. But that’s in the second panel…

It’s always right to give your body what it wants. It’ll tell you when it’s had enough.

But then how much younger is 40 tan 60? 33 1/3 %? When you stare at a virtual key board long enough it takes on 3D properties like those dot drawings!

Okay, what’s this lady been smokin’ and where can I get some :D

Whatever works, as long as I can have dessert!!

I was working a banquet back in the late seventies when Marlo Thomas, the guest speaker, pointed out that she was forty years old, and women should admit it when they are. This is what forty looks like. Maybe it was the lighting, but at that moment she looked as attractive as any woman in the world…and I was only in my twenties…..

This is too hard to compute, lets split a banana and talk about it. Oh, put some ice cream and fudge and caramel and walnuts and cherry syrup and whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles on too.

Reminds me of the time I tried to explain to the cop that 70 mph was really the new 50 mph.

Life is short – eat dessert first.

I heard that restaurants upholster and decorate themselves in colors that stimulate hunger, happiness, etc, in their patrons…wonder what they are trying to stimulate with puke green…?

True, If you accept that diabetes is the new indigestion.

If American’s keep gaining weight 40 is going to be the new 60. Of course modern medicine will find a way to stretch out the lifespan of the obese while allowing the patient to binge and still cling to life.

Waaaayy too much blab here. simple question, deserved a simple answer: “No.”

Not for me, it ain’t. 150 is my ideal weight. There is no substitute – and no desert for me.

“…insurance company who, like cartoons, have their own alternate (and completely separate thankfully) realities.”

not completely separate because their “reality” impinges on ours…

btw, 200 might work, if she’s 6 5, got a 50# pack and a rifle….

But is 42 the new 42?

Could it be the old 42 too?

If 60 is the new 40, I want back the body I had at 45!

THANK YOU! It’s a joke, people. Geez.

“There are two kinds of statistics, the kind you look up and the kind you make up.” – Archie Goodwin

60 is the new 40? I am certain Social Security is pleased so many are willing to accept this.

Forget the numbers and what is ‘new’. If you’re still hungry after the entree, split a dessert. And enjoy. .

Hello, all! Just coming out of lurking for a minute to say how much I enjoy the comic, and how your comments always leave me laughing!

The ripple effect of age deflation.

Always one idiot trying to turn the thread towards politics. Other than that, today’s comments were pretty funny – kudos!

Yes, but I just wanted to figure out the math.

That doesn’t sound like the Mechanic I know. Has someone hacked your account?

An ex-gf would order a take-out tray when ordering at a restaurant, divide everything in half, then insist on dessert, but we could never share it. I could understand if she were skinny, but she wasn’t. Drove me bonkers. Of course, I didn’t dare complain.
