Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 03, 2021

Hell’s Buffet, Party of 1, Your Table Is Ready.

If God didn’t want us to eat chickens pigs and cows he wouldn’t have made them so tasty

By the looks of him I’d say he’s eaten a lot of BBQ. Might make him king ( size )

He’s doomed. He had a cow and pigged out on meat! ;D

When pigs fly.

When your chickens come home to roost.

Sometimes you just have a cow of a day.

Seeing those three together reminds me of an old series of commercials for a local restaurant chain which each featured one of the animals, in the voices of John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Alfred Hitchcock (guess for which ones), trying to persuade viewers to choose the others when ordering their meals.

Speaking of vacations, it looks like Wiley is on one. This cartoon is a blast from the past, copywrite 2017.

If God hadn’t wanted us to eat meat, he’d have made the animals of tofu.

Animal Heaven.

He’s gonna get more than a light ribbing from his judges!

Hey. They were already dead when they arrived at my door.

Saint Peter is a racist. He never let’s the deer, trout and slugs sub-in.

You’ve heard about “Comedy Central Roast”? Well, NOW it’s time to roast YOU!

There’s a note here that says you like a good hot fire. Well, we aim to please The King.

Obviously sent ’em off to paradise that much sooner …

He was doing God’s work by helping all those animals go to heaven.

It wasn’t good to be the king in Louis XVI’s case, either.

Bless the beasts and the children! Looks like the “King” is headed for the ultimate barbecue!

Vegans are feeling smug & vindicated

but still weak ;)

I suggest to my vegan friends that if God didn’t want us to eat meat, we wouldn’t have cuspid teeth.

Does the chicken now have 2 sets of wings?

MMMMMMMM! Bacon!

My spouse is from Coweta County GA and Sprayberry’s is the best BBQ in town! I saved this one when it first ran in the paper.

Is there an appellate circuit?

Pigs are flying!!

Have you noticed the obituaries of ‘’B-B-Q’’ kings, so often note the age at passing as Fifty something? There is a correlation. Note how the Gentleman is drawn.

When the Farmer’s wife heard that the sheep could talk, the Farmer only said that the sheep lies.

That’s how he ended up here in the first place.

His only comment was, “I was supposed to get 72 Virgins here! Where are the other 69?”

At least there’ll be plenty of coals where he’s going.

Might as well own it dude. I’m thinking you have another date with a Barbeque ahead of you.

I’ll vouch for him!

All of the seasonings and spices in rub and sauce are coconspirators.

Nothing wrong with eating meat, just eating too much of it

He never expected to be grilled at the Pearly Gates.

I like the angel wings on the chicken! Given that chickens already have wings. :D

This toon brings up so many philosophical questions starting with “Where’s the beef?”.

PETA=People Eating Tasty Animals

Billions of generations of my ancestors worked and evolved so that I their descendant could someday eat the flesh of other animals. I’m not going to be so unfilial as to throw away all for which they sacrificed.

Yes, I’m counting the trilobites; mine is a very old family. Not noticeably wealthy, and quite often disreputable, but OLD.

They already killed him, looking at the shape of his body

NOT a ‘good day to die’…

Just wait until the day a tomato plant substitutes in.

You have to remember that God delights in putting the temptation to sin right in front of man. See: Apple.

“I found a clam beside the sea inside a seedy sack.

I said to the clam, ‘Dear sir or ma’am, allow me to call you Jack:

Will you come home with me for a cup of tea

And maybe a midnight snack?

For I have some nice Tobasco sauce

To pour upon your back.’

I put the clam in a big brass pot

And I boiled a burbling brew,

And his green eyes gleamed

And he steamed and steamed

And he grew… and grew… and GREW…

He was oh so small — now he’s nine feet tall

And I’m feeling rather blue

‘Cause he’s pouring Tabasco sauce on MY back…

Now what do you think he’ll do?!"

—Shel Silverstein

Why does someone need a vacation from Heaven?

I think Tom Petty would disagree.

Mel Brooks fibbed in “History of the World, Part 1”?

Mel Brooks would disagree (“It’s good to be da’ king!”).

I understand some peoples objection to eating meat, and industrial farming has a lot of issues to clean up, but if tomorrow everyone switched to a vegan diet and all animal production magically turned to crops, it would not be sustainable. There is no model, that I am aware of, that can produce enough food for everyone, sustainably, without animal husbandry. It would require the extreme use of chemicals to try and replenish the soil, and even still that would not be enough to prevent the depletion of the soil to an infertile state. Natures own design is such that there is a give and take between each other and continual back and forth nourishing and replenishing. Why do vegans never talk about this? How do they propose we solve this problem?

Timing is everything!

gave up meat in ‘86…never met an animal i didn’t like

The rooster got into heaven because he was hen-pecked his whole life.

“…with their forks and knives, to eat the bacon.” – George Harrison

He’s about to be fried

The cow, pig and chicken all look friendly, much in the manner of Wiley Bears.

I’m pretty sure that Wiley Miller has a huge squishy spot in his heart for animals in general. Me too. You know who else? Good ol’ Chuck Darwin. This story, heard in his youth, haunted him thruout his life: “[E]veryone has heard of the dog suffering under vivisection who licked the hand of the operator; this man, unless he had a heart of stone, must have felt remorse to the last hour of his life.” —Charles Darwin (1809 Feb. 12–1882 Apr. 19), British naturalist, The Descent of Man (1871)

Holy Cow!

Pigs? Next door is the Jewish Heaven. All the lox, whitefish, blintzes, etc., you can eat. Lotsa bingo, pan and mah jongg too. I know. My mom sent back a message.

When Pigs Fly

Everybody wants the crown, but nobody wants the Damocletian Sword that comes with it.

@Mediatech "Many want the throne, but few want the Monarch’s desk.

Mr. Sprayberry? …is that you?

I just went through the past week-and-a-half’s worth and I’ve decided to start following again.

and pigs can fly!
