If a cartoonist successfully captures life's humorous and ironic moments in three short panels, readers applaud. When Wiley does the same in his single-scene format, they roll on the carpet laughing.

Seven years ago, Wiley exited the editorial pages of the San Francisco Examiner with the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in his pocket and began a career as the preeminent solo panel creator working today. Non Sequitur readers were ready for his wild and unpredictable takes on an untamed world. Non Sequitur not only breaks the three-panel mold, it succeeds without regular characters, standard settings, or repeat situations to fall back on. Each piece, in other words, hangs out there as Wiley's snapshot of the worlds of work, leisure, and life's many crossroads.

Following the solid success of his last collection, The Non Sequitur Survival Guide for the Nineties, Wiley's newest collection is destined to continue his sardonic tradition. Non Sequitur's Beastly Things, as guided by Rolf the dog, promises to keep readers howling, growling, and scratching for more. They will delight, for instance, in crocodiles luring fishermen with dollar bills, Randy the science lab kid who announces that his homework ate his dog, and the desert dweller who celebrates the change of season by raking needles beneath his cacti.

• Anyone trying to make sense of modern culture is bound to fail. Wiley's job, it seems, it to show why. The cartoons are all just a little off from reality - it's not the difference that's so amusing, but the realities that he lampoons.
  I get a taste of Wiley in my daily newspaper. This collection is a feast, a treasure of daily and sunday strips. Now that I see them collected, the recurring themes and characters are even more apparent and enjoyable.
  My one complaint about this book is density - or lack of it. Other comic strip collections in this format print at least five or six dailies per page - this usually prints just two or three. Yes, I like being able to see additional detail in each panel. On the whole, I'd prefer more Wiley.
• I consider this cartoonist to be the natural heir to the throne of "The Far Side." These are great!
• This is definitely a book of, from and about the 1990's. For those of us who lived through them, this will seem extremely funny. For those whose memories start a bit later, or who were rather young at the time, this will be an interesting anthropological study. Except for the occasioanl cartoon that made me laugh out loud, bring the book to work and photocopy a page, clip the cartoon out and post it by a computer, and point it out obsessively to everyone else in the office.
  Wiley is one of my favorite cartoonists, and I love his stuff... but maybe more his later stuff than this earlier stuff. He has a website, and you can read his current cartoons online (back to 2000). He even does buisness cards. I want the ones where you can have your name info next to a picture of the penguin hovering near a flower. Unfortunately, his website stuff doesn't ship overseas... Guess I have to wait.
• I love Non Sequitur, and having some of the strips collected in one book by theme is a great concept.
  My only complaint is that the electronic version of the artwork got degraded by 's online PC reader.
  Buy the paper book, you'll be glad you did.
• If you like Wiley as much as I do, you will love this book.
• very funny stuff
• Really like Non Seq.....
• I really enjoyed this book. The cartoons are skewed and not for everyone but I found it very funny. If you like cartoons such as "The Far Side" and "Bizzaro", you will enjoy this book.
