In 1991, Wiley launched his popular Non Sequitur strip, eventually syndicated to 700 newspapers as well as published on Go Comics and distributed via email. The strip oscillates between one-panel commentary and stories with recurring characters. In either event, the strips have a history of politically leaning and sharp commentary. I was strongly taken by the comment here and I am pleased to have this art to display. Completely democratizing the world through self-publication on the Internet flattened the world (sic, Thomas Friedman), much like the step of the elephant flattens the mouse.
The note from Wiley: “All the News that’s Fit to Print”
A reminder – Wiley composes these to be able to be cropped as a horizontal or vertical format (see additional images).
