Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 14, 2018

That nose in panel 2 looks like Joe “Broadway” Namath

Weinstein of the Nahth!

My grandson just asked me “What is polar ice?”

Kahmah will bite you.

We’ll have to make a list of who that could be.

It wasn’t, “And then things got grizzly”?

What goes around, karmas around. We get as much karma as we can bear.

Karma bear? Sorry, only heard of the karma chameleon.

Somehow I don’t think this story will be continued….

Yeah….. I only stopped by to see whether anybody in the forum had narrowed down the long list of possible contenders.

Eddie imagination really flies and I find it fun. Nevah know what comes next from him.

Just imagine if what happened to us in life was really connected to what we have done in the past? Do good things good things are reflected onto you. Bad things and so on.

Donaldus Trumpling Harvey Winepot in a polarized version of the Flying Dutchman and of Ahasver the Eternal Wanderer, condemned to wander the earth in eternity for spitting on Christ and on humanity. Until Eddie shows him his Karma. Most galling for Donaldus as Ahasver: He has to give all his money to the poor. That would be the most fitting exercise for some currently living.

Next time make it a karma walrus—-giant and purple of course!

Kahma beah? Isn’t that a cheese?

So the message is it’s the woman’s fault. Where have I heard that before? Oh, yes, by that same idiot.

Anoesis is derived from the Greek word noesis meaning reason or intellect and the prefix a- meaning not. Thus it means, no reason.

Could it be an out of control Kama bear (as in Kama Sutra?).

By this time tomorrow, CNBC will be “reporting” this as a real news flash.

There’s bearly enough time to contemplate the situation.

Those hearts aflutter threw me off at first. A nettled bear with a growling stomach would have made for immediate noesis – unless I am still missing the gist. (Whatever. Flo really gets and likes it.)

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! Wiley KARMA Bear!!! YES!!!

Gather up the candles and let’s wax philosophically for a minute…..I like the metaphor, here. We all have a karma bear behind us where we can’t see it, don’t we?…..But we know it’s there…..Grrrrrr…..Wait. What was that?…….. I think Wiley bears have good karma. They’re always smiling when they eat you….That’s nice…..

Aw c’mon, Wiley, don’t leave us hanging! You are going to continue this, right?

Wow. Look at all that polar ice.

Where is Boy George,when you need him?

A Kahma Bear ? This is truly a Kodiak moment !

I think someone needs a care bear.

Is Karma Bear a man or a woman? I think in this case, Karma is not a b——.

KAHMA BEAR: it’s something we all carry on our backs once we are mature enough to have regrets.

One of my favorite quotes:

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

Omar Khayyam, Persia, 1048–1131

Thus the need for a Kahma Bear for modern times.

Well, that lowered the level.

Well, that lowered the level.

Is a Karma Bear related to a Kermode Bear? They are both Spirit Bears.

Maybe Karma Bear will give this flake of feces a big, loving bear hug - and engender his untimely compression-based demise! Hurrah!

Bill’s all excited about his new rifle. So, he goes bear hunting in Alaska. The first bear he sees is a little brown bear, and he kills it with his first shot. There is a tap on his shoulder, and he turns around to see a big black bear. The black bear says, “You’ve got two choices. One, I maul you to death or two, [I make love to you].” Bill [acquiesces]. He’s sore for 2 days, but he recovers and vows revenge.

Bill heads out on another trip to Alaska and he finds the black bear and kills him. At that moment there is a tap on his shoulder. A huge grizzly is standing right behind him. The grizzly says, “That was a big mistake. You’ve got two choices. Either I maul you to death or [the same option again].” He survives, but he’s really hurting and takes quite a bit of time to recover, and, he’s outraged.

Sure enough, he heads back to Alaska and finds the grizzly and shoots him at point blank range. There’s a tap on his shoulder. He turns around to find an enormous polar bear, and the polar bear says, “You don’t really come here for the hunting, do you?”

Wiley, I truly LOVE every drawing and line of text that you have ever written.Your cartoons are poignant, contemporary, absurdly political and always SOOO amusing.The last panel with Flo’s comment takes the Oscar.Here in Hawaii, the day after the Korean nuke was NOT headed in our direction, you have made my day.Ten thousand thank yous.

Me too…I’m beginning to like this story…..
