Hey, that's not your comic!

naruki_oniEvery once in a while when I am reading my daily bunch of comics, I get the deja vu feeling that I've already read one before. At times like those, I wonder to myself if the authors are deliberately plagiarizing or if they, like me, just have bad memories and forget that they didn't come up with the idea themselves.
Since most of the comics I read are pretty indistinguishable from each other, I also wonder if I am not just suffering from deja vu instead of actually remembering a different comic. I can certainly never remember the name of the supposed original, and searching my stack for the past few days invariably turns up no proof.
Until today, that is.
Oddly enough, the thief is someone who probably gets more circulation than his victim. Well, that seems odd to me, since you'd expect the funnier, more remarkable comic to be less likely to steal. But perhaps the rest of you are more cynical and experienced in these things than I am (I'm looking at you, BB2).
Without further ado, I present Wiley Miller's Non Sequitur and Dave Blazek's Loose Parts.
In case you were wondering, the Non Sequitur came out June 29, and the Loose Parts came out June 25.

see how easy I am? Sheesh.
