Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 02, 2021

The question is – for whom?!?

Now you need a little hammer so you can find out what it sounds like.

Wiley has developed cabin fever

Winter doesn’t last long enough. I should move to Alaska.

Already coiled to spring into action too.

Pearls Before Wiley.

Does that spring come with a shock absorber?

In six months, fall will be right around the corner, and you know what that means.

He’s not going to fall for that trick.

Reminds me of something I once saw in a Road Runner cartoon.

And spring is all coiled up.

“What goes down stairs, alone or in pairs….?”

Gerald McBoing Boing.

It’ll give him a lift.

It should be ‘a’ spring is just around the corner; and he’d be right.

After all Trump’s “just around the corner” promises, we should all know not to expect anything good.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Better for physical health than a fall being around that corner.

And in a nice coil as well.

About 7 more weeks.

Watch OUUUUT! (((((((((BOING))))))) (BOING)))))))

Such a simple little joke which made me laugh out loud

This and today’s F&E. But most of all, THANKS for the English language and its infinite variety of words and their even more (can infinite be more?) infinite meanings.

Coilly!

We’ve had moderate temperatures and very little snow the past few months. I feel like winter has finally arrived, and I intend to enjoy it.

Okay, I could SO do that with a slinky. About the only thing I can think of to do with a slinky, really.

My wife is entranced with the snow and cold weather. She loves to watch all those shows about life in Alaska. Of course, she’s never in her life had to live in those conditions! She doesn’t know what a backbreaking chore shoveling snow can be, or what a thrill it is to try to drive to work on icy roads!

To all my friends in those cold climes, suffering through winter, I feel your pain. Been there, done that.

All street placards should come with props!

He’s about to get some spring in his step.

You wouldn’t know it looking out my window today. I cleared a foot of snow off my driveway last night and it’s still coming down this morning.

Some of us really like winter!

Very appropriate today, with almost 2 feet of new snow in my yard. About to leave for work and see how the roads are. All plowed out. Thank goodness for great neighbors with plows!

Are you crazy lol, I’ve had enough already

I cant believe I laughed at this!

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY !!

(senses a very clever cartoon)

To quote the great philosopher, Bugs Bunny, “Don’t be so dang literal!”

A chilly spring, at that.

A Slinky, a Slinky!

It’s fun for a girl & a boy!

He recoiled at the suggestion.

Mad Magazine had a similar idea for a cover. https://nationalbookswap.com/pbs/l/22/4522/9780446364522.jpg

6 more Weeks!!

Perhaps the sign should say “A spring is just around the corner.”

Jolly Green Giant’s bed spring.

I would’ve expected to see that giant spring on the Saturday when we turn to Daylight Saving Time. (For that matter, we just might!)

That’s one big coil. Heat treating it must have been interesting.

A couple blocks later, watch your step, it’s the Fall.

SPROING!

Happy Groundhogs Day! My father, who held an MS in meteorology and a PhD in physical oceanography, ruined the fun of Groundhogs Day for me when I was in the 4th grade. He told me that no matter whether or not the groundhog saw his shadow, that spring would start in 6 weeks. February 2 marks the halfway point of winter, and there are exactly six weeks left to spring. So, yes, spring is “right around the [six week] corner”. Those of you who just had a significant snow fall, get out of your COVID lockdown and enjoy it! Let your face mask keep you warm.

Dad also ruined St. Patrick’s day when he told me our Irish ancestors were Protestant land owners, so we were orange Irish, not green. “Daddy Downer”

Funny how we say around the corner when corners are most often square.

Hilarious

Oooh, wordplay!!

Adds some bOuNcE to the strip

Very uplifting but implies a nasty Fall.

Soooo … is that a mortal coil?

Some people take a Dad Joke way too far.

“Rejoice!”

Gotta be a first for those apocalyptic types.

That darn groundhog!!

This is suspicious. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is some kind of Wiley Bear trap!
