Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 27, 2010

Uh oh, don’t let the Ekert near some of the message boards on GoComics, that could be funny, uh I mean bad, yea really really bad, in a funny sort of way.

Wiley could also have used any of the “Real Housewives” locations, “The Hills”, the “O.C”, any “reality” show or any of ClusterFOX’s political pundits.

You’ve got yourself a BIG problem here, Joe.

I hope he doesn’t find me. He might not fit in a football stadium anymore.

Don’t let it watch “Jersey Shore”.

The Ekert needs to pack his trunk and get out of that house. He’s so big that when he sits around the house, he sits around the house.

I’ve heard of the elephant in the room, but this is ridiculous!

or ‘the ed show’, the ‘rachel maddow show’, ‘tingle up my leg matthews’ hardball, any editorial page, any board of directors on any college campus or … . left, right who really gives a rat’s a__. the politicians screw us, 10% of us re-elect them, then they screw us again … it’s ‘pitchfork and torch’ time folks.

The Ekert gotten to me weeks ago. Since then I the good sense to drop Frog Applause, Doonesbury, Brenda Starr, Gil Throp, and Pibgon.

Okay, so do you shrink it by Happy Thoughts? Calling Peter Pan!

Send the Ekert to Wash DC, the UN, BP HQ. Oh, the list goes on and on!

Wasilla!

I had to carpool with a vacuous airhead for over a year. sheer torture that was. She only had about five talking points.

This isn’t about the elephant in the room, but the room in the elephant.

LOL good one, chasm_b!

What happens when he, um, ELIMINATES these negative thoughts, etc.? Maybe they should evauate while they still can or at least stay on the FRONT porch…

I don’t think they make a “scooper” that big……Wait!, Call D.C. Or try Democratic National Headquarters.

Unfortunately, Danae is into instant gratification without forethought. DO NOT LET HER into any job that requires such. The obvious corollary is that she will go into politics!

Whatever you do, Joe, DO NOT try go in the back door…

I just don’t understand the appeal of shows like “The Real Housewives of…”

Does it just make some people feel better to watch such shows, in that they can feel a teensy bit more superior since their own lives aren’t so overloaded with drama and scandal? Is it just that proverbial train-wreck that they can’t look away from?

The commercials alone make me think, “No, thanks!”

For the love of God, keep him away from the internet. digg alone could kill us.

Wiley – you’re barking up the wrong tree – the people who insist on injecting politics into a social commentary are just doing what Americans have always done – social issues and politics are intertwined to such an extent you can’t split them apart in any meaningful way. Just smile and nod, and ignore the kooks on both extremes and know you’re helping make people think about issues in a way that makes MOST of us smile….

WILEY No politics? Surely you jest. An Ekert that eats all they negativity. Who pray tell decides what’s negative? Is it wrong that a lion eats a zebra? Is it wrong that someone collects welfare. Is it wrong that a company makes a profit?

So giving an Ekert power to make our ethical decisions for us isn’t political. What was that political party that made those decisions in Germany between the wars? Wait, it will come to me.

I could use a barroom cartoon about now!

Hey, it’s Wiley’s comic. His house, his rules. He did say PLEASE.

Plant Ekert in a department store on the day after Thanksgiving. He’ll get so big NASA can forget about rockets and use his trunk as an on-ramp.

If the Ekert is force-fed positive thoughts, does it shrink until it dissapears?

methinks lewreader is afraid the ekert will come calling at his house…

TV? TV? Oh yeah, I remember now. I used to own one of them. Big piece of furniture, tubes and all.

The Ekert is welcome at this house…

The Ekert is now experiencing growing pains

Nicely said Wiley. I was going to observe that each (partisan) side seems to think that the comic only pertains to the other side. There’s quite enough nastiness in our discourse to go around, particularly in the provocateur category.

Was she anything like this character?

Capn Eddie knows about the Ekert. How? Was he the caretaker of the shed that held the Ekert? He seemed pretty upset that it had gotten out, but he hasn’t done anything to get it back in the shed. and what would be so bad about a world that lives by the Golden Rule? unless the saying “you are what you eat” will eventually apply to the Ekert? how ugly will it be with all the world’s negativity? and how about……..

Wiley, you’re saying an elephant is not a symbol having anything to do with partisan politics? Please explain.

Ceceee, do you think because Jesus rode a donkey, He’s a Democrat?

I don’t believe Jesus would take sides politically, but there are some who do. As for Wiley, he does have his political leanings, why pretend he doesn’t? Political opinions are not supposed to be a matter of good vs. evil or lies vs. truth, and shouldn’t be painted that way.
