Product Description
Non Sequitur creator Wiley Miller truly broke the cartoon mold when he first published his strip in 1992. This hugely popular cartoon is chock-full of witty observations on life's idiosyncrasies. The name of the comic strip comes from the Latin translation of "it does not follow." Each strip or panel stands on its own individual merits. Strips do not follow in a sequence and are not related. Non Sequitur's characters are not central to the plot; the humor is. Before it was even a year old, Non Sequitur was named the Best Newspaper Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society. With an ever-expanding cult following, this quirky cartoon is set in no specific time period or place. It is a whimsical yet flippant look at everyday life. Non Sequitur's readers are steadfast and dedicated-they even began a letter-writing campaign in 2004 to rerun several strips that had proved to be prophetic. "Humor knows no bounds, and neither do my cartoons," Wiley says. |

Non Sequitur's Sunday Color Treasury
This picture book gives excellent insight into Miller's career. He is one of the best and most subtle political cartoonists active today. He is right on so much of the time especially with the set of morons making the news these days.

One to treasure
Wiley is one of my favorite cartoonists. Not just my favorite - the National Cartoonists Society named "Non Sequitur" Best of the year, before it even a year old!
These strips cover a variety of Wiley's sub-categories: Danae and Lucy (think the dark side Calvin and Hobbes), Obviousman the balding superhero, Cap'n Eddie and his tall tales, and Ele's new idea of how the dinosaurs became extinct - much the way our species is driving itself into the ground right now. I'm torn. I want more of each, but if I get more of one, I get less of the others.
And I want Wiley's other kinds of creativity, too. Page 88, especially that second cartoon - well, cartoons don't have to be funny to be good. That one is very good.
That vertical format for his Sunday comics, that's no accident. Wiley realized that the ever-shrinking sunday funnies, trying to cram more into less paper, was leaving odd gaps on the page. Cartoonists, Wiley included, are always competing for space on the page. Like any successful scavenger, he discovered a resource he could use without competition, those weird spaces that his vertical strips filled perfectly. Any cartoonist that solve problems like that for the newspaper editors has a valuable advantage. Wiley also says he was the first to use "process color", real halftones, on the funny page, where everyone else used (and use) big, solid patches of color. I can't vouch for the claim, but it is a distinguishing feature of his comics, and adds a lot to his expressive style.
As with Wiley's other collections, I have only one complaint. There's never enough Wiley in the book - but I'd probably say that up to the day he publishes "The Complete Wiley." Even then I'd want more.
