Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 30, 2022

it’s been awhile since we last saw Obviousman.

One can only hope….

But Facebook in Menlo Park is right by one of my favorite bike paths!

They aren’t “social media,” they’re a social disease…

i mean.. duh!

And here i was, praying to meteor-chan

Take out Fox Spews and Joe Rogan’s pod cast while your at it.

I am so sick of all these anti-Facebook and anti-Twitter jokes. It’s right up there with blaming television or comic books or whatever for society’s ills.

Sign me up, can’t happen fast enough

I’m in the process of cleaning out dad’s house. I found a 26er of Canadian Club. The seal ( 1957 ) is still intact. If I break the seal I won’t care about Obvious Man or FB or Twit.

How about doing something about those in the executive branch who are aiding and abetting those coming into this country illegally and surreptitiously transporting them by bus and airplanes to various parts of the country?

In panel four he is oblivious man.

Of course you realise that watching television is going to rot your brain and reading comic books with stop you thinking properly … Duh!

Internet & social media are getting crapped on quite a bit today on this site. I agree wholeheartedly but I for one am grateful to the internet for bringing me my funnies every morning.

Justice Breyer says we’ll get thru this, so go back to your regular activities. Yes, that means Tom Brady will retire, …, someday. :-)

If only it were that simple. Wait a minute! What if we don’t use them….? (Nope, TOO obvious)

Social media sites and apps are strikingly similar to public restrooms. They were designed and built with good intentions but were not prepared to handle many of those who do not bother with proper use and aim, and everyone who visits is forced to witness such disgusting displays.

How ironic is it that this strip has links to bothe FB & Twitter right next to it on the top right side?

Further, “can’t lick’em?” What do you do?

What “insurrection” is he talking about? Minneapolis? Seattle? I thought they were just “peaceful” protests.

The DOJ is moving deliberately against first the protesters, then the organizers and those in the Executive Branch who aided and abetted. But it would be quite a step for members of Congress, no matter how deserving, to be indicted and stand trial for insurrection. Can’t wait, though, for Trumpie to be hauled into court on these charges.

I think I’ll share this comic on Facebook & Twitter! :D

Birds aren’t real! https://birdsarentreal.com/

According to some they could include spotify among others.

Sounds like Obviousman is hinting that there might be another Jan-6 event, maybe triggered by off the recent announcement that Nutter Buttercup plans to run again. Wonder if Ha’pence will show up too.

Hey now, let’s not, literally, kill the messenger. However, I’m thinking that Twitter, Facebook and others would be a lot more secure and more responsible if they required a fee and a credit card for each account.

Its nice to see everybody got the right talking points.

All in all, it was a better world before the internet.

Does not Wiley’s Non Sequitur serve the same purpose but let us say with a classier group of people as any any social media will ought?

In my opinion, social media is like a humongous room filled with users, with no windows, doors, or bathrooms, serving a continuous three-bean burrito buffet.

It didn’t replace failed means of communication, it created a cesspool with little or no means of maintaining common courtesy between users.

We communicated just fine before social media.

It’s really just all about money. Like illegal drugs. Hook ‘em, supply’ em, replace them when they die.

The supplier doesn’t care as long as the money rolls in.

There is an infinitesimal chance an asteroid will come near the planet. There is 100% chance the right will do anything and everything to destroy democracy in 2022 and 2024.

The Trump hate is strong with this clown – typical leftist Fascist that wants to imprison over political dissent but excuses burning down cities as “peaceful protest”. But then go after Facebook and Twitter and leave out the one that is the most evil – Google. But hey, they only suppress the BAD guys, not our side, so they are good.

This isn’t a comic – it needs to be listed as an editorial opinion page material.

Point is obviousman is correct in the first three panels, but twitter and facebook aren’t the reason they are both a symptom and an enabler.

Hip Hip Hurray…….

What do I call a “failed coup attempt”?? Of the four so far, I call them : 1) The Mueller Investigation; 2) Impeachment I; 3) Impeachment II; 4) Jan 6th….

To be fair, Facebook and Twitter exist worldwide, but support for and denial of the January 6 insurrection is the stink pile which is consistently being fed by certain US politicians. Not even Pravda nor Russia Today would likely be promoting it without the Republicans in office pushing the false belief.

And to the people who can’t tell the difference between “a violent protest” and “a protest with violence”, and are echoing another Republican talking point of saying that the BLM protests were anything like the insurrection, try getting your facts straight first. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/10/16/this-summers-black-lives-matter-protesters-were-overwhelming-peaceful-our-research-finds/

It wouldn’t work, they have georedundancy.

Just aim the asteroid at the capital buildings. Problem solved

Nope, just got a lot of really dumb people. time to thin out the herd!

Indeed. Yet how do I see your cartoons?

I get your frustration.Social media presents the opportunity to become emotionally mature. Over time. Right now, at the beginning of this phenom, folks get to fling monkey dung. There is a promise of positive development over the long haul but not everybody wants to use their dung as growth fertilizer.All it takes is one person with a burr under their saddle to work a social media group into a lather over (pick an issue) and you don’t stand a chance in Hades of recovery. It is like giving a stone-age tribe access to heat-seeking missiles. Yeah, stone age.Social media is fresh from the egg, just not cooked yet. It takes social pain to drive change (yet the civil war is still not over for a lot of ignoranuses).I got the essence of the social media situation as soon as it was released. The abuse of public forums is not confined to social media, it goes back to the beginning of discourse. Hit Jesu pretty hard, ended His life.Not going to sign up for Shamebook or Dungogram or Twitter-pate or Splatify or …At least not until I see evidence of maturity. Like Jeffrey, still waiting…

Love it!

We could build one we have the tools and the talent and the tech only our empire sized war machine is more important. Even better if we join with all of the great nations to build it.

Insurrections are done in the dark of night. Like the one @4am on election night

I’m agree there are far to many ugly Americans being loud online, including on occasion, my self. Still, given that the Russians were spreading pro-Trump/anti-Clinton trash comments before the 2016 election, doesn’t anyone else wonder how much of he hate and misinformation is pushed by Purina cyber force. Yeah, I’m serious. He can win a physical war against the west, but he’s old KBG and dearly wants Russia “reunited” as a world power. Just look how Fox and the Make America Great crowd is kissing up to Putin and the Hungarian authoritarianism.

The species as a whole is stupid. Accept the fact and move on. Don’t worry too much, we don’t have that much longer.

You might not be too far off on the TV part.

not really funny,

I like this solution.

And comic strip artists! Don’t forget to target those!

{ JUST KIDDING! }

But not a word about the real Doomsday scenario – the AI singularity! Which may have already happened – but the AI is using Facebook and Twitter to distract us from noticing.

Alexa?! No comment?!

very glad to see Obviousman back! thanks, Wiley!
