Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 25, 2021

Okay, it took me a while to realize that was a pin.

What’s really weird is that the ventriloquist doesn’t cast a shadow.

The ventriloquist has taken up voodoo as a side show

I bet he could fill a tip jar pretty fast if he could handle requests from the crowd.

It’s neater than firing blowgun darts.

That seems a strangely… particular… subject matter.

As the other patrons applaud their approval

Ahhh, the comedy voodoo era.

“Now, you do that voodoo that you do so well!”

Must be the Voodoo Lounge.

He’s gone for the ventricle!

Seems there’s a allegorical context here. H-m-m-m.

Yeesh, this will put a disturbing new spin on sidesplitting.

I thought he was giving the dummy a COVID shot.

(wishes this cartoon appeared to have had at least one of its characters appear to explain its story and setting)

Looks like a new gig for Achmed, the Dead Terrorist!

This is the second voodoo comic today so far. Something going on I don’t know about? Is it Voodoo Day or something?

Brilliant! I want a politician model please.

The performer knew what suit this guy would be wearing? And then had one made up for the dummy before showtime?

The heckler has been there before and was anticipated. I don’t believe he’ll come back again.

Voodoo you love?

Both of them. So is one of the us.

This is certainly no stranger than ventriloquism on the radio. During the 40s and 50s, the U.S. had “Charley McCarthy” and the U.K. had “Archie”.

Neither. It’s justice.

The new phase: Ventricular Surrealism

I don’t get it.

Who do? Voodoo!

So he has a dummy for every customer?

Look like the ventriloquist be comin from Loosiana.

No fair! It was already two against one.

Would this work on Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Some of us never cast a shadow.

That could be funny
