Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 09, 2022

In FREE GUY, one of the computer game characters is put into the game before he’s finished, and he’s always saying “Catch phrase.” Works for me. A really fun movie. I recommend it.

Well, hang in there. (Bonus points if you know which character said that.)

We were driving in Hollywood and there was this guy dressed in a baseball uniform. He was standing on a corner acting like he was throwing a baseball at passing cars.

When I first opened this comic, I thought the man was a movie character come to life.

They were probably waiting for one from him!

Watched the new Reacher series. There’s a new Schwarzenegger in town. Wondered where they got the wood for the main character doll. But, given modern series making, it’ll probably run a few years and land among the Classics.

Really liked the book series. Perhaps the old rule is still true. What one reads is often more entertaining to the imagination than the events provided by media.

So does he want money? or someone to give him a catchphrase?

Hollywood has always been full of people acting out trying to be discovered, without having any idea how to go about it.

So “Build Back Better” hasn’t worked out so well for you, eh?

Yes they did - that was it.

“Can we talk?”

Hollywood, where the insane pass for normal while the normal go insane and everyone is indeed mad. What would we do without them?

What you talkin’ ’bout, Wiley?

“Will neglect writing my screenplay for money.”

Wasn’t it David Hyde Pierce who said, “Without the writers, …………..”?

“Hands off my junk!”

(The airline passenger could have been even a bigger star if he developed a whole stand-up routine with it.)

“What the modern battle cry lacks in archaic charm, it makes up for in full-body syllabic punch.” – Charles Krauthammer.

Don’t blame the writers. Real stars can make up their own catchphrase without even trying, like Greta Garbo.

Bazinga !

But now you have one on your sign.

And, yada yada yada, he was out of a job.

Cowabunga, dude! Whatchu say, Willis?
