Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 10, 2021

In ballet, a pas de deux is a dance duet in which two dancers, typically a male and a female, perform ballet steps together. The pas de deux is characteristic of classical ballet and can be found in many well-known ballets, including Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, and Giselle

I’ve got the singing frog song in my head, “Hello, my honey. Hello, my baby….”

“If you give us the prize money, we won’t do our routine again.”

Nopes Danae, that was just a pas(s)!

Dang, and she didn’t have her phone on her to record it.

With apologies to Michigan J Frog.

The kid doesn’t appreciate talent.

I believe this is a faux pas de deux.

Dog and Pony show?

“FINALLY! We’ve had those canes and straw hats stashed in the nearby bushes for ages.”

A true dog and pony show.

The Pas de Deux that Danae expects those two to compete and win at is not a soft-shoe routine (although I’d dearly love to see them perform). It is more of a ballet done on horseback, and takes about 10 years to learn how to do at the highest levels. Check out this first class example, ridden by one of my dressage idols, Reiner Kimpke and his magnificent horse, Ahlerich:

Thanks for the earworm, and making us all show our age…..

She didn’t seem to appreciate their song and dance show.

It’s a prize winner, all the same, Danae.

Gotta love the jazz hands

Who knew that Petey was that talented???

Whatta dog and pony show!

Now that’s what I call a REAL Dog and Pony Show. Love it!!!

Grande

Other than the hats and canes, it would qualify.

De yada dada dada, de yada dada dada, de yada dada da da d-a-a-a. Good evening, Frie-e-e-nds.

If Petey puts on a Vulpine costume, they could do the Foxtrot.

Yup, the entire event had me thinking of Michigan J Frog. She’ll get them to the show and they will practice all the way there, then sit licking butt and making horse hockey pucks on stage. …still funny though. ..no prizes

Love it. Who doesn’t enjoy an…. expressive… performance?

I love everything about today’s strip.

Wiley, BEST EVER!!!

“Michigan J. Frog” is his name.

Impressive…

No encore then?

Horses prefer tap over ballet. They’re natural hoofers.

Is this the first time we’ve heard Petey speak?

America’s Got Talent !

A real dog and pony show.

Faux “pas”

Looking good!

tip o’the hat to Charlie Schultz

Great art work. That must have been fun to draw!

Michigan J. Frog approved

Thank you! That was just… funny! Perfect for my birthday on this dreadful year; not to mention, you featured my favorite character.

I think we saw a paw de deaux.

Perhaps Petey can learn from a camel?
