Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 30, 2014

Just a fact, Eddie.

The theory is sound! We must have faith until it succeeds!

I know trickle-down doesn’t work. I still can’t get the smell out…

I count six in a million flukes….and three Wiley bears…..

Is Pauly actually pawing at a fish in panel 2? He’s looking at us in panel 4….Wonder what he’s thinking…..

There’s a cat that doesn’t mind getting wet?

As one commenter ha wrote if you do not first succeed, suc, suc, suc until you ceed.

How many times has a lobster been served? A few might take care of his tab. Or maybe never….

Lobster theory and economic theory are identically delusional, Flo. (Except economics is called ‘the dismal science, as if something relying on belief in magic IS a science. And lobsters are usually called ’delicious’…)

I just want to congratulate Wiley on such a powerful portrayal of the idiocy of this philosophy. Excellent job! Perfect!

Capitalism is a great idea, but not every plan is a good one. Just ask the fellas that designed the Edsel. And “New Coke.”

Oh, no. The Governator is back….

Since raising taxes is such a great economic policy the Great Depression should have been much shorter and the Soviet Union should have had the best economy in the world.

I think that’s what is called Congressional debate

Wiley – - – master of wait for it …….

Really. Raising the minimum wage will work this time. We promise that it won’t make prices go up and that we won’t tax people more and have it all come out of the consumer’s share of the economic pie when we raise the cost of doing business for the people who supply the goods and services upon which the consumers must depend.If we secure an extra $2,000/year for you, we (virtually) guarantee that it won’t result in your annual expenses going up by $2,100, with more money ending up in the pockets of those in power and their most supportive partners in industry.Cross our hearts and hope to blame it on the opposing party in the next round of popular awakening.

In his acceptance of the Reuben Award, Wiley gave a nice shout-out to his mom (characterized by “Flo”). Good job, Wiley! Congrats and well deserved.

@BrassOrchidI’ve read that it’s working in Seattle and San Francisco, so far.
