Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 04, 2011

It’s looking more like teeter than totter at the moment!

In cahoots? Surely not!

I was making a comment on yesterdays strip and, before I could finish it, I was redirected to todays… and STILL my comment went up after comicgos!! What gives?!?

“At the sound of the tone, the time will be exactly 10 to [WHACK!].” - Daffy Duck

it looks like a bargain under the circumstances.

I don’t know why I never noticed it before, but Wiley has a mean streak!

strictly slapstick, not mean. (and funny as all get out, most days.)

America in a nutshell.

The cops are all on the side of the freeway, robbing innocent travelers at gunpoint, Congress is employed by the corporation that sells the bats, and insurance companies sell you a helmet knowing full well it won’t help: as soon as you’re hit once, they take away your helmet because you have a pre-existing condition.

Ke Nguyen: What country do you live in? It sounds like a fever-dream alternate-universe version of this one.

^Which proves that not all technology is worth having.

KE NGUYEN. I tried to buy homeowners insurance as my house burned to the ground. Dirty insurance company said I had a pre-existing condition. Why shouldn’t people who have been paying their premiums for years pay for my misfortune just because I was too cheap to buy insurance before the trouble began?

Sounds like Ke Nguyen has nailed it. Or at least he will have if Sarah Palin - or worse yet Mitch Daniels of Indiana - is elected President. Then the only thing we can hope for is that the ancient Mayans are right and the world does end on 12/21/12.

Lewreader has summed up the argument for the mandatory coverage in the new healthcare law. When you are young and healthy you are effectively paying ahead for when you are not-so-young and healthy (I was going to say old and infirm, but I’m not yet ready to put myself in that category).

This sure triggered a memory. As a young Sailor in Long Beach, CA. ,, a girl picked me up (I thought I picked her up) and led me to where 3 guys jumped me and robbed me. My pay was only $75/mo. Lesson learned.

To complete the triad, the door to the right should be labelled “Litigation Attorney” – for when the batting helmet fails! He (er, you) will made a fortune suing the manufacturers of both the helmet and the bat…

Insurance is a fraud…expecting a company to undertake the risk that you will NOT become sick or hurt is a foolish position, since all of us will, at some time or another, have ailments that require treatment. A universal health care system is the only sane, intelligent and humane way.

It should be a bear wielding the bat.

new info: (unpopular) notice that the mayan calendar end was miscalculated by about 2 months early. oops. 2013, march at the latest. oh, and the actual reason the mayans didn’t make any further calendars? Conquistadores. nothing to do with planetary disaster.

Never would have thought so much humor could come from a dark alley… Next he will be selling a bear suit! ;)

I use Kaiser and the VA. Both non profit socialized medicine. Both work well for me. I don’t see what the problem is. Socialized medicine been berry good to me..

@Habogee: AMEN!

Is the pic Spike Jones? Too small to be sure. =)

The real question is: Who sold the guy the baseball bat?

@ 1OldDude: Yup, that’s him! I’d recognize that mug anywhere!

If that dude had his CCW permit, it might turn out differently…

Yikes!

It’s a cruel world.

“7catsrule said, about 8 hours ago

But always remember that a bat in the hand is worth more than a gun in the holster. Think the businessman can get at his concealed weapon before the bat descends on his noggin?

Nah!

This is why I do not bother with CCW permits. I carry at least 19 weapons with me that no court or law can take away or restrict me from using, so do most of you, why not take the advantage of learning how to use them?

The 19? Ten fingers, 2 fists, 2 elbows, 2 feet, 2 knees and your skull.

Unregulated capitalism.
