Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 31, 2012

I always suspected that Micky had more of a sense of humor than we are led to believe….

What an egomaniac.

Hey, don’t point that thing at me! Can’t you see it has a nail in it? Sheesh!…..

If that’s supposed to be Wiley’s self-portrait (twice, no less), he’s lost a bunch of weight.

I guess the pope gave Michelangelo the finger.

Of course he made it in his own image.He painted it.

On the ceiling of the Its-me Chapel

It probably is a self portrait, being 20 th anniversary and all, COGRATS WILEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After all, man did create god in his own image.

Didn’t Michelangelo work Julius into the ceiling as a devil?

I always thought Peter Coyote should name his son Wiley

Pull my finger…

Wrong Julius. July and August were named after Julius Augustus Caesar. ‘Twas Pope Gregory who started the Gregorian calendar in 1582. But Britain didn’t start using the Gregorian calendar – or celebrate the beginning of the year on January 1 – until 1751. Up to then, the year began on Mach 25. So though it’s almost a week late, Happy new year!

Two nearly naked men rubbing their fingers together?

The Poop in the Big Mouth Bass cap is wondering why it doesn’t look more like himself. Do artists really stick their pens/brushes in their ears when meeting before Very Important Pooples?

Wrong Julius. Emperor Julius Caesar ordered the reformed Roman calendar in 46BC that bears his name, and is still in limited use. It was Pope Gregory XIII who ordered the reformed calendar we now use in the 1580s.

Oops, didn’t expand the comments to see Saskfan had already addressed the Julius mix-up

@vonne antonnot in – behind – note the flap of ear under the brush – once again – wiley’s artwork detail is amazing

excellent rendering of the hands!

Watch it! Do you know where those fingers have been? :)

Okay, if “Adam” got “fingered”, how come “Eve” gets the blame for everything that went wrong??? Michelangelo was just another misogynist “working” the room.

Don’t worry, Mikey managed to sneak himself into the Last Judgement instead.

I’m waiting for all the Pull my Finger jokes.

Michelangelo was a pencil necked geek?

Many pranks were pulled when the Masters painted for Catholic leadership. In this one, notice that God is painted inside the obvious shape of the human brain. Meaning, “God is created by man, and exists only in his imagination.” Got that one by the old man…

tl;dr

Ahistoric rubbish does not need to be “deleted” — although this breathtaking collection of misrepresentation and misstatement is annoying to anyone who’s more interested in historical fact than grinding his personal hatchet, Catholic or not..A point-by-point carving of this rhetorical turkey would be fun, but beside the point, since you’re self-admittedly parroting the rubbish of others anyway..Flagging you would be appropriate, because of the sheer personal vitriol you’re directing at other readers who don’t share your tiny, distorted worldview. But you would regard that as some kind of vindication, and I decline to give you even that much satisfaction. Besides, it’s better than everyone else see you as you really are.

SCATTY, ….Um…..OK, explain why just two points Sharunboy makes that are wrong and why….that should make it easy…..please enlighten us…we don’t want to be misled!

BTW, of course it’s not Wiley’s self portrait, come on………. if it was the paint brush would be coming out of the other ear…

Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch “Michelangelo and the Pope”. “No kangaroos, no mariachi bands, no trampolines …!”
