Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 23, 2012

A Guru.

What? No Lawyer.

The lawyers are in the water (sharks).

…and in the boat, I think!

there should be a cow and a chicken, and maybe a cat

Well, it’s not a creek, and they both have paddles.

Is it the Dong with the luminous nose?

…and sharks circling with a pirate ship on the horizon.

Isn’t IRS Island around there, too?

Aaww, it’s paisley.

Given the outlook for politics and international furor, the three m.o. of coping left for civilized man…desert island, therapy, or proclaiming the END…ie, hoping God’s gonna solve it.

Wiley’s sending himself up. These are some of his stock characters and settings. Very funny, in a subtle sort of way.

No UFO? No Grim Reaper? No Swedish Bikini Team? (I just threw that last one in to see if you’re paying attention.)

I bet there’s a DHARMA hatch in that cave.

No, they’re both from Quebec.

Where’s the island with Gilligan and the Skipper?

Looks like the circle of life…. the psychiatrist has the questions, the guru the answers, and the other guy – the outcome.

There also needs to be a message in a bottle. But this was hilarious, I thought, one of my favorites (of any comic) in a week or so. And as James Thurber reminds us, “Run, don’t walk, to the nearest deserted island!”

No plaintive cry…“Da plane! Da plane!”???

Maybe if there were a bartender? There could be “A minister, a priest, and a rabbi”?

At least it’s not raining…

Having a raft, they’ve got the service in demand. Anybody want a ride?

Pschearer, I’m looking for No Bikini Atoll…..

Found the secret to Life. Stuck it in my back pocket. Forgot it was there and sat down on it…

( With apologies to e.e.cummings )

de ju…. all over again…..

They’re hiding behind the word balloon.

Hey, we can build bridges and then level a tax…

No Wilson?

The story arcs with Danae and company are well done and entertaining, but this is why I come here, for these other stories. Love this one Mr. Miller; most excellent.

Can someone explain?

Is it “every man is an island”? Except the guys in the boat, there’s two of them, and all the islands are taken.
