Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 12, 2024

Best strip ever!

May the pooping commence!

Insert horse laugh here.

Of course it makes sense… horse sense.

So if you weren’t told before – now you know!

Has AI been coloring the strip this week? Could that explain why the speech balloons are colored, but the actual comic is in black and white? If so, they might want to either retrain it or reboot it.

Apt comparison.

That’s what babies do, and the adult lives revolve around that.

“A horse is a horse, of course, of course“

Also cats’ schedule.

Words of wisdom right from the horse’s … mouth!

Lucy lives a very full life…..

How is that ancient TV showing the news?

That’s kind of like dogs knowing when it’s time to eat. My dogs clocks are running a little fast…

CF Ernest Becker’s “The organismic stomach project”: teeth at one end and excrement at the other—“life is good!”

Uh, wait. I thought that there was a 4th. Something to do with…reproducing?

Estrous. Has anybody seen a moose, lately?

Nature shows a strong push for procreating too; She’s always far less invested in what’s here than in what’s coming next.

I’ve studied cats and that’s how they seem to handle it. My dad, born 1921, learned parody lyrics to The Old Gray Mare when he was a kid that started, “The old gray mare went pffft on the whiffletree…” Back then kids knew what a whiffletree was.

The only real purpose for life (aside from decreasing entropy locally) is to reproduce. Humans tend to complicate it way too much.

News time == sleeping time by looking at her eyes in the last scene!

I would have added farting, in your general direction

Totally correct.

None of which will get Lucy into The Kentucky Derby….

Useless information, horses go several times a day 4 or more. Side note, anyone here remember a Carol Burnett show that had a live horse in the scene, live show and it let loose with a healthy number 1 ? Carol lost it and kept on with the show.

Lucy has the schedule down pat.
