   Okay, now I’m confused again. Is Homer the arrower or the arrowee?

   Homer does not appear to have a bow.

   Sometimes enlightment may spirit you away from the darkness of the human heart, sometimes not so much.

   All we ever have is the eternal present. Noone really knows what went on in the past (it’s just memory) and noone can know the future.

   Steve Homer is the observer who has apparently stumbled upon an unpleasant scene.

   All we have is the NOW, but the past does contribute to who we are, and who we are shapes our future.

   He should not have been following the deer that closely!

   Yeah, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

   yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present

    I remember a birthday card from Hallmark’s Shoebox (paraphrasing): “The past is behind us. It doesn’t matter any more. And the future? It lies ahead, a vast potential. As for the present…” [open card] “I didn’t get you any.”

    As always, Wiley provides food for thought. My wife dwells excessively on the past and worries excessively about the future. But don’t believe it’s any better to ignore the past and the future.

    If you do not learn from the past and plan for the future, your next “now” is likely to be unpleasant.

    None of Homers’ lives seem to end well.

    DTUT is right no one seems to remember the past because it seems that we are about to do it all again in the near future

    Perhaps the deer was hiding the bow and arrow, and is now just hiding the bow!

    how wonderfully buddhist.

    breathing in, i calm my body.
    breathing out, i smile.
    dwelling in the present moment
    i know it is a wonderful moment.

    Neither, Steve. He’s the guy with the spear. I would like to know, however, how a good looking, tall, red-headed hunter could turn into a short lump like Homer.

    I only wish that I could follow this advice as I tend to be a person that frets and worries and even having known this advice before reading the strip I have not embraced the concept…and that worries me.

    Some things never change….’cept for the choice of weapons.

    The Bible says it well: “Do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.” [Matthew 6:34, Amplified version]

    Homer’s past life is a fable he made up.

    Do large-sized rugged and ruddy guys with red hair turn into ghostly-looking Cupid-like souls when they die?

    “Noone” does not mean “nobody;” but, “no one” does mean nobody.

    “Noone” rhymes with “noon.”

    People who use “noone” generally use “prolly” for “probably.”

    Since this comic strip is called “Non Sequitur,” which means “does nof follow,” anything can happen it it. It really doesn’t have to have any connection with real life … past, present or future.

    My local newspaper doesn’t have the Sunday edition of the strip, only the weekday ones.

    JanCinVV…The same way I did - just kept living and the years piled up as they are wont to do….lol

    JAD.. You missed your nap again, didn’t you?

    Seeing as how, a few years ago, Homer came back as a girl (The “Honor” arc of a few years ago), I’d say “Yes.”

    Heavy duty strip today Wiley. What’s coming next?

    another strip, no doubt!

    Well? What would you do when you were taking a liesurey walk out in the neighborhood jungle and you came upon a dead body with an arrow sticking in it?

    RUN! Run like a mother!

    pbarnrob said, 27 days ago

    OH; look around carefully; arrows tend to come in quivers-full.

    else; bodies are always the genetic luck-of-the-draw; the billions of combinations of DNA make fingerprints the least of our “matrix of individual differences” in whatever comes out of Mom. Who’s in there? That is the interesting part; God playing at masks, jumping out to say “BOO!”

    From Herbert’s God Emperor of Dune:
    He is discovering that it is pointless to live in the past, impossible to live in the future, and difficult to live in the present…”
