Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 05, 2009

It’s like watching a train wreck — you don’t want to but … just … can’t … stop …

Ahh…. Tabongo Bongo, I remember it well! Caught an STD there!

Ah gee…was THAT you?

Ah yes, the ol’ STD Midnight Special. Rode that train many’s the time myself.

It was such a sad day when it ran headlong into that little circus train. Good thing Dumbo knew how to fly, it’s the only way he survived.

”you don’t want to but … just … can’t … stop …”

I know, I know! I just couldn’t stop myself, either.

The truly hellish part is, neither can we.

Honest ta pete, I’m gonna have to either get off the Internet, or get a special keyboard with a Here’sYourSign key.

I think I saw Bill Engvall selling one on eBay.

That’s it…give him an opening you can drive a truck through.

Of course he does Joe..

My response to Joe’s Mom: ” What ISN”T an opening for Cap’t Eddie?”

Cap’n Eddie IS famous. We all know about him, don’t we?

Captain Who? and where did that shot glass come from in panels 2 & 3?

anyone notice Cap’n Eddie’s cat turned his back when the story started?

If I act really quick, I can give my computer to homeless orphans somewhere before the Capt snares me with his tales of wonderment and fame.

I still think there is a connection with Homer and Capt. Eddie.

It would make for an interesting story. You know, like him telling the “kids” to say hi to Lars????

OOH Tabongo Bongo. Maybe there will be some scantily clad island girls in this story.

Famous Dan Eye:

I like your eye.

Wiley, that’s what I love about your strip………the little details that makes me look at it more than once. With Capt. Eddie you have to watch especially close after the story starts…

Thanks, Wiley. I’ll be more attuned for the subliminal. Thanks kea, I would have missed that. My focus was lower. Maybe because I have more in common with a shot glass than a cat.

Famous Dan Eye: I like your eye

Thanks, but don’t say that too loud when Wiley is around. Intellectual properteye issues, y’know.

I mean, you notice that squll all of a sudden just … isn’t around anymore.

Comic strips is a mean business.

Amazing how it only took two panels (equivalent to 5 seconds) for Cap’n Eddie to dream up another one of his long-winded tales (equivalent to 2 weeks).

Lovin’ it already.

Tabongo Bongo! S-l-o-w-l-y I turned… step by step.. inch by inch!

Better sit down…looks like this could take awhile..

Wiley, you should make a book of Captain Eddie’s stories.

Are those wee happy faces emanating from Cap’n Eddie’s pipe? or just ordinary noxious fumes?

Amazing how it only took … 5 seconds for Cap’n Eddie to dream up another one of his long-winded tales

Nonono … he’s been living that tale on Tabongo Bongo Island inside his head, polishing it, since the last time someone was slow witted enough to give him an opening, and not quick enough to escape “What’s that Flo I have a phone call in the back yes I’m sure you said that gotta go Eddie bye”

Are those wee happy faces emanating from Cap’n Eddie’s pipe?

They’re happy to be escaping

Wiley, I haven’t even read the comments yet, (OK, your two, I couldn’t resist, but, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I’ve been waiting with baited breath, (worms, not minnows), for some Capt. Eddie! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

BTW, it’s always a Nah-eastah isn’t it?

kea, great eye on the cat. That’s what my cat does when I do the same thing over and over again. She’s worse than my girlfriend….

Draceyep, you look … different somehow. Must be the latest Internet fashion statement.

I’ve been waiting with baited breath for some Capt. Eddie!

Flo’ll be happy to know you’re the one always sets him off.

You better duck out, Drac, here she comes with a cast iron skillet and That Look on her face …
