Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 26, 2013

It’s all down hill from here.

“…and the agony of defeat”

See Rock City..Great to see you Dogsniff. I was beginning to wonder.

He stuck the landing!

The mountain forgot to duck.

It looked further away from on top.

George of Jungle say, watch out for mountain!

Looks like he got the “point”.

Not exactly at the peak of his ability….but close…

Panel 2 and 3..slowly sliding backwards, picking up speed, and sitting smack dab on the pointy end of a pine tree…

Bruno, thanks! I forgot all about Roger Ramjet…Ha! Great stuff!

Oh my God, just remembered the end credit lyrics:

So come and join us, all you kids,For lots of fun and laughter,As Roger Ramjet and his menGet all the crooks they’re after.(repeat lyrics fromn last comment)

These things occupy the limited space in my brain, so I don’t understand how escrow works.

I believe S. Crow retired some years ago, so now he doesn’t work.

“First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain; then there is” – CRUNCH!

His meteoronic rise came to a sudden but predictable end.

X-Games, here I come!!!!

Super Skier by Chad Mitchell Trio

(Gibson/Rieser/Rieser)

Well, they called him Super SkierAs he sat around the sundeck,For he swore that he would never take a spill.When they finally brought him downThey had to use three toboggansTo carry all the pieces down the hill.CHORUS:He was comin’ down that slopeDoin’ ninety miles an hourWhen he caught an edge of his ski.Well, his clothes, they were fast,But the slopes, they were faster.That’s the last of Super Skier we shall see.Well, he hollered, “What the hell!”As he lined them parallel:He figured there was nothing more to learn.(Oh, no…)And as he started on his way,He shouted, “Ondelay!”,Assuming that he’d never have to turn.Well, he was slippin’ down that slopeDoin’ ninety miles an hourWhen a mogul flipped him in the air.His jumping form was fineUntil he ran into that pine,[- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]And two one-legged skiers left from there.(repeat CHORUS)When he left that tree at last,He was moving twice as fast.Both halves were skimming moguls like a feather.He said, “If I must beA split personality,How can I ever keep my knees together?”One ski was headed north,And the other headed west,‘Cause both of them, you see, were running freer.And folks up on Little NellLooked up, scared as hell,Said, "It’s a bird." “No, it’s a plane.” “It’s Super Skier!”(No, uh, it’s a bird.)(repeat CHORUS)Now the moral of my story(Though my story’s kinda gory):For all you sundeck Charlies, there’s still hope.You buy the fastest clothes you can,Then talk skiing like a man,But don’t let people catch you on the slope!(repeat CHORUS)And let’s get Charlie off the M. T. A.

I understand completely. I can never forget the lyrics to the “Super Chicken” theme song.

Location is everything.

Leap of faith it is not; snow kidding…..

thought that lookout was in georgia. part of the chattanooga/chickamauga civil war battlefield. was wondering why chattanooga is in tennessee, but part of its sprawl is in georgia, it was once an area where the cherokees resided before we forced them to oklahoma.

“We are (um, buzz-click, um) wondering why (um, buzz-click-whistle, um) that ski jump was put THERE!?” (Sound effects courtesy of Roger Ramjet’s nemesis: the Solenoid Robots!)

Anybody remember Super Dave Osborne?

I’m 57, and Jonny Quest was always one of my favorite shows. The Cartoon Channel reran them about 10 years ago, and I watched with the same glee as when I was 9. They also did a more modern version which was interesting, but not quite as good.

Today’s comic and comments confirm once again why Non Sequitur is the very first thing I read every morning.

Is this how yodeling got started?

Why am I picturing Captain Caveman meeting the “agony of de feet” and anything else that gets broken on the way down?

The peak of his skiing skills.

Thanks…you are right!

It’s not the takeoff that you have to worry about. It’s the [abrupt] landing.
