Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 08, 2023

Is this the end Wise A$$? Will he survive the jump? Will he return to give advice? Tune in for our next episode.

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no point in being a d@mn fool about it.” —W. C. Fields

So the WA failed? Keep trying WA!

To keep trying the same thing and expecting different results is commonly regarded as a mark of insanity.

I thought I heard something go SPLAT.

He jumped off a mountain? That’s not the ‘something new’ you should be trying.

Pig does bring out the worst in all wise posteriors. (hadda change that?)

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit and get tanked"

Steve Dallas

Try and try until you cry eh.

Wise donkey fails once to conveys thing to Pig and quits immediately. Wise donkey bigger failure than Pig.

Today’s strip deserves a ‘like’ for sure.

OK, I can’t resist the tie-in:

“As$ over Elbows” as the old expression goes?!

Tried to make a comment, but apparently the word a**, WHICH IS USED IN THE COMIC, is on the banned list. Don’t care much for stupid this early in the morning.

The problem sometimes is in the quitting so easily (after each failure).

Sometimes you have to quit quitting right away.

You made the Wise A$$ commit suicide, Pig. Good job

Do or Do Not; there is no Try.

I’m obviously insane, I’ve been married twice…

One less wise a** in the world ain’t all bad.

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.” Samuel Beckett

I’ve never yet failed at any task I chose not to undertake.

Doing something poorly at first is to be expected and is not a sign of failure. Quitting too soon is failure.

Try everything.

Did the Crocs move away? We haven’t seen them in ages.

One can’t fail if one doesn’t try, but then again, one cannot succeed without trying either.

I heard Homer Simpson say “trying only leads to failure”

PIG would drive anyone to the brink….‼️ He’s always on your last nerve‼️☺️

And marriage is the leading cause of divorce

Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is “statistics”. And yes, statistics is a form of insanity.

Pig pushed the Wise Donkey too far. No pun intended.

“If at first you don’t succeed, keep on suckin’ til you do suck a seed” Curly Howard

=-( is all I can say

Obviously a Smart As+s.

Typical “Causal Fallacy”, otherwise known as a Pastism…

Farewell, Wise @ss. Thou shalt be missed.

If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

It is true that you will never fail, if you never try; then again you will never get anything other than what you already have.

Love me some root beer.

No, Pig: “Trying only once, is the root of all failure.”

First time the Wise A​ss On the Hill has done some truly wise that I can remember! Pig is the Despair of the Wise!

Like watching a movie and still expecting the one stupid event to be done differently each time you watch it, which would then change the whole rest of the movie.

looks like another fail to me… well, at least you tried

Success is the process of constant failure without the loss of enthusiasm…

His learning curve is a vertical line

I did NOT.

I literally laughed my butt off when he said “oh great wise a**”
