Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 25, 2023

Like how to carve a coconut to look like bait for fishing.

Oh, well, better luck next time.

I’m nutty for coconuts.

“Hey! If someone’s been out here to post these signs …?” “You been to a museum lately? Got any idea how often they get maintained? Or have the money for it? Like, once a decade?” “Dang.”

i have no words…

The palm tree appears to be upside down.

You’re probably better off going back to the boat.

Now let me get this straight;

You put the lime in the coconut

You drank them both up

put the lime in the coconut,

you drank them both up

put the lime in the coconut,

called your doctor, woke him up, and said,

“Doctor, ain’t there nothing I can take”

I said, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"

I said, Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take"

I said, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"

All you need is some limes to get rid of this ear worm!

Is this a subtle double reference to Ernie Bushmiller’s recurrent three rocks in his old comic strip, “Nancy”?

Some folks just get old volleyballs…

“The good news is we’re not going to drown.”

If I hear the term “curated content” one more time… well, I usually I just tune it out. But this strip nails it.

School my daughters attended took them on 3rd grade trips to state historical society. When I accompanied daughter #1 on her trip I noticed a misspelling on an exhibit sign. Reported it to a curator, who assured me it would be changed. Two years later it was still there when I chaperoned again. The sign was for a McGuffey spelling book.

Margaret Dumont: Get out of this room, or I’ll scream for the servants.

Groucho: Let the servants know! Let the whole world know! About us!

Margaret Dumont: You must leave my room. We must have regard for certain conventions.

Groucho: One guy isn’t enough, she’s gotta have a convention.

(The Cocoanuts)

Upcycled disaster.

Rule of coconut palms: DON’T stand under the tree. If a coconut doesn’t hit you, one of the dead fronds will.

“I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconut facts . . . "

They could escape the island using Monty Python “Holy Grail” galloping coconuts.

Touch the exhibits – somebody will be right there!

Sounds like a congressional hearing.

This plaque here speaks of the migration patterns of coconuts along with the average airspeed velocities of unladen swallows

I checked Google maps, but couldn’t find it. Where is November Scotia?

One of those signs should be about the sharks encircling them

“… because we have no bananas today!”

Where’s Mary Ann when you need her?

One warning: “Do not pee or poop on the sand as that will kill the coconut tree”.

It docent look good.

Cartoonists are often left to draw their own conclusions.

Where are the limes?

Do any of those interesting “things” tell you how to open the coconut without a machete?

Those mountain tops sticking out of the sea doesn’t give much room or food. But are excellent for the trope.

This was an unusualy happy thread.
