Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 14, 2022

Bob is in over his head

If they need to “cull the herd” for survival reasons, Bob just volunteered.

The flag has the morse code for the letter “A”. Any significance?

oh, and i thought stockbroking lead to ship-wrecks. How wrong i was!?!

They just decided that the life raft has one person too many in it.

How to get mugged, in one easy lesson.

Bob belly futures just went up!

“Stake your claim. Whoa, not LITERALLY!”

Unfortunately, I have a feeling there will be a lot of people who discover they have no survival skills in the not-so-distant future.

If he’s a good buoy, they may let him bob along behind the raft…

Any significance of the pennant on Bob’s raft?

A raft full of women and children…and Bob.

Read this side, it’s the letter ‘A’. The other side = ‘N’. This side might be signal for ‘aid’. The other might mean ‘Na.’

Throw him overboard!

Does not seem to be an international maritime signal flag…Hmmm.

Bob’s lessons continue with ‘’Treading Water 101’’

Bet that Bob is good eatin’.

“A”

That flag, hum…

Underwater. no one can hear you scream. …unless they’re really close.

FYI. The dot-dash in the flag is Morse Code for the letter “A”.

I think it may cost the stockbroker an arm and a leg if he isn’t careful. ;-)

One less BSing mouth to feed.

Eat the rich.

I notice that Bob is the only male in the raft; the rest are women and children, who will change his attitude in a matter of minutes.

Right after this, Bob learns the meaning of Shark Bait.

how about ‘stock brokERing’?

Which begs the question, “Who stuck a pole into the floor of a rubber raft?”

How long can Bob tread water?

Bob just got moved to the top of the emergency menu.

OK, Wiley, I did and also found that orange smoke is another distress signal. There must be a lot of distress at Formula One races, with all the Dutch fans of Max Verstappen covering the stands with orange smoke.

I suggest they eat Bob first.

They are going to feed him to the sharks.

Bob will become one of the provisions.

Where’s Alfred Hitchcock?

Also,the first lifeboats to leave the TITANTIC were only halffull because they still didn’t think the situation ws serious.

It’s an Orion Distress Signal. Good comic, Wiley!

I believe the term is “brokering,” not “broking.” At least, if you’re doing it right.

A little-known fact from the dark days of WW2 is that John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Richard J. Daley all served in the US Navy in the Pacific theater and were in fact all aboard the same frigate when it was sunk by the Japanese. By chance, they found themselves sharing a lifeboat. Taking stock of the inventory, they realized that they had only enuf provisions for a single person to survive until he reached the nearest friendly island. So, as staunch American believers in democracy, each man gave a speech as to why he should be the one to get the boat while the other 2 jumped overboard. Then they voted. The results were Kennedy, 1; Nixon, 1; and Daley, 243.

I wonder if the “stockbroker” is named Shannon Bell?

And to make matters worse, Bob did not taste very good.
