Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 20, 2020

They found the two smartest humans on the planet

They’re just here for Happy Hour.

I’m pretty sure they don’t want to be taken to any leaders.

The bar must have big doors for that to have come in the normal way.

I’d go with the nothing really shocks me anymore as it would be impossible to eat sardines with removing their helmets.

See. I was right! The aliens HAVE visited and are here right now! although I admit I suspected the Aardvarks.

Wearing their little environmental cold suits.

Just because they look like they’d like sardines, doesn’t mean they would like sardines. For all you can tell at this point, they could be after anything from Bud Lite to Macallan. Or even peanuts or pickled eggs.

How about if you try fish and chips?

They are really here for pilchards!

Just perfect.

How else are penguins supposed to fly?

Yeah, after Donnie Darko nothing would ever surprise anyone….geeeesh. Go Chiefs!

Does their spaceship’s computer system run Linux?

I know how the man feels. This world is so crazy now days.

Oh, oh, hang on: The Flying Spaghetti Monster looking upon this scene just said, “Hold my beer.”

After the past 4 years, I am beyond being surprised, shocked, dismayed, embarrassed, furious, or any of the myriad of normal emotions I had back before the National Disgrace became President of the United States.

Perhaps, after November 2020, I will regain some normality and stop being so numb. Then again… the pessimist in me says…

Just wait until they break into a very well Choreographed dancing routine…

Not to worry. If the technology was built by anyone like humans, they just sent the penguins in first to see if we would hurt them. The assault/colony forces will come in later. Assaulting or colonizing depending on our treatment of the birds.

How’d they get that ship through the door?

they’re preparing to follow the dolphins before the Earth is destroyed

You can’t make a “Fisherman’s Martini” without Anchovy Stuffed Olives!

“So, three miniature penguins in spacesuits teleport into a bar……..”

A beer would be a good start for BOTH outlooks !!! lol

These 3 alien penguins walk into a bar…

Soooooo…instead of “Planet of the Apes” we now have “Planet of the Penguins”?

Intergalactic pub crawl. I’m in!

Where did they get the little tuxedos? Is this a formal visit?

Get a pie with extra anchovies from the pizzeria next door.

As a famous science writer (Isaac Asimov? Carl Sagan? Stephen Jay Gould?) once remarked, the idea that aliens came here to interbreed with us is based on massive ignorance of how DNA works. Every living being on Earth is a leaf on the great Tree of Life and related (however distantly) to every other leaf. The upshot of this, he noted wryly, is that you’d have better prospects trying to interbreed with a cauliflower than an alien.

Numbness of the brain is far worse than my foot going to sleep. When will the madness stop?

Is this in Pittsburgh?

The space penguin peeking out from the hatch is a cute touch.

Hello, and thanks for all the fish.

Those little beings should have fingers.

Hmmm, “Alien”, might they be looking for an egg laying site???

speak up, i’m hard of herring

Two penguins are standing on a floe.

One turns to his friend “It looks like you’re wearing a tuxedo, Freddy.”

Freddy answers “How do you know I’m not?”

So, the mechanic says “It looks like you blew a seal.”

The penguin says “Nah, it’s just some ice cream.”

I’m sure they know where the Sardines can be found.

They came for the Happy Hour Free Snacks. The tiny cocktail weenies are particular favorites.

Bet they ask for Anchor Steam Beer!

The idea that penguins crave sardines is just a red herring.

You guys are a day late, the Pokemon GO community day event starring Piplup was yesterday!

Not sure what they eat, but I’d bet that ship runs on Linux…

They’re just checking out the increasing ocean-level real estate…
