Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 19, 2019

A little slow today aren’t we Dad.

Actually, moose are rather short tempered and dangerous.

It could be a moose muse.

Ze muse does not amuseVen ze moose is on the looseorVen ze moose vishes to be on the Lucy

Lucy going va-va-vamoose!

He’s in denial!

Lucy the pygmy horse and Dave the moose do have a long romantic history together, going all he way back to December, 2003:

And that took place just five months after Lucy was introduced to the strip:

But won’t squirrel get jealous??

Again, Homonyms:

Muse-An imaginary friend

Moose-An animal with very large antlers and a relative of the deer

Mousse- A tasty desert, mostly chocolate

A moose once bit my sister . . .

a little SLOWER

Dad better get up and see what all that barking is about……YIKES!

My dogs bark at imaginary stuff all the time.

How does one hear muse from moose? What is he, Siri?

Just moosle through Wiley.

Maybe an imaginary moose as a muse is manageable but I can’t imagine managing a material moose, much less being amused.

Little does Dad know but that Petey is also imaginary.

’DAVE’S NOT HERE!’

There ya go, dad. Problem solved.

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretti nasti…

I used to live in Wyoming. Every summer we would read about some tourist in Yellowstone who tried to take a selfie with a Moose calf. Momma, who weighs a mere 900 lbs, would then proceed to stomp said tourist into red mud. Here’s your Darwin Award.

My brothers and I gave our sister the nickname Moose and she hasn’t talked to me in 5 years. Of course that’s all her because she’s a butt and I’m not, but I digress. Does that make her imaginary?

Does a Muse s—t in the woods?

A real moose in the yard cavorting with your pet horse is not all that unheard of. Welcome to Montana.

I can imagine a moose, so they can be imaginary.

The joys of verbal communication.

This begs the question, “Where does a 500 pound amorous moose sleep?”

Lack of evidence is not proof.

It’s that Maine Accent. Muse & Moose sound a Lot alike.

Um, the proper term is “meese”. ;)

Doesn’t work for me. Do they pronounce muse /muːz/ in the US? I thought it was /mjuːz/ everywhere.

Also, I call moose elks.
