Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 24, 2009

If he had forgotten the heart it would have been a lawyer.

Why do I get the feeling Wiley Miller doesn’t like comic sites?

If he’d-a been a lawyaw, he would’a been numbah one in the numbah two business.

More Flo and Capt. Eddie!!!!!

Apparently Wiley has never heard of advertising, though he seems to be on-board the modern idea of spending money that you don’t have.

If he wanted this comic to really be biting, then he would have had the brainless monster trying to sell “news” that lectures people on what they’re supposed to think, and everyone being shocked when it isn’t selling like it used to in an age when people have more choices than ever.

Wiley: I’d buy the paper but no single one prints the comics I like to read, so I go online. I’d buy the paper but our local rag is skewed so far to the right it can no longer be taken seriously (10 conservative columnists to 1 liberal). Don’t get me wrong, I was raised in the era of newspapers (Cleveland Press, Plain Dealer) and I miss them but they long ago ceased to be reliable sources of unbiased information. Their corporate owners bow to shareholders whims and advertisers wishes. It’s easier to just go online (and I don’t mind ads, I know my economics). I’m certainly not against paying for content either, but it better be quality work. I’m not going to pay good money for Drudge or Huffpost type of “news”.

Me too.

Eh! CEO Frankenstein with brainless!

I think it means that the newspapers (or brainless edtiors) shot themselves in the foot and just realized it.

I have a choice to read our newspaper(already paid for) or use the net. Being visually impaired, the net is easier to read.

For I wish CNN Headline News (Not HLN) would go back to being that, a 24/7 all-news channel, not a 24/7 News and rag-chew channel!

Ya know that comic can explain a lot of aspects of a lot of problems in several industries… e.g “I know, let’s write $500,000 mortgages to first time buyers without verifying income” Or, “We can sell more cars if we finance them interest free for 6 years” So the artist picked his favorite pet peeve, that’s his prerogative.

I have to read this comic on line since our paper chose to drop it last fall. Actually it is to sophisticated for the local reader and paper editors.

I get my local paper everyday, but I read Non Sequitur here because the paper only runs it on Saturdays! That only works with one-off strips, not the storylines that feature the continuing characters. Bizarre. They used to run it everyday, but dropped it in a comics page reorganization a few years ago. Fortunately, (sarcasm alert), we still can read the daily adventures of Spider-man.

Wiley, This is great!!! I want a signed original!!

Wiley, I’m a journo for a top-20 circulation newspaper. Read this in my Sunday paper. Right on. Paper’s need get an antitrust exemption like the Failing Newspaper Act of 1970 so they can collectively establish a fair-market price and erect pay walls that will allow them to charge for content and pay their employees and syndicated contributors.

Love the old Mainiac philosopher. Having gone to school at UMO I find quite Yankee. I would like to see another series of several devoted to a topic about the lobster one done in the recent past

I warned the Detroit Free Press that when they took out my favorite comics, they could say goodbye and I’m stickin to it.
