Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 17, 2023

Did the Great Wise One just correct the behavior of every teenage girl on Earth?

Some people prefer sailing into storms.

It’s simple dumba‍ss, just don’t be a smarta‍ss

Clearly the WA smells a Rat!

So it’s okay to start new problems where there are already existing problems? Bus ticket to the US Capitol, please!

That’s right Rat you heard him right. Do not cause plague you pesky pestering pestilential pestiferous pest you.

Oh wise donkey on hill. Please answer me question. Why you actual name me not able to say in comments?

Spouse used to be in charge of a group of transcriptionists. Most of them just buckled down and did the work, but some of them enjoyed gossip and similar things. And ONE of them simply wasn’t content until he’d stirred up some kind of fight. Preferably among two or more coworkers, but if that wasn’t in the cards, he’d start an argument just to keep himself happy.

Spouse called that behavior “Never satisfied unless he’s stirring the pot”. Rat’s a lot like that…

From the very beginning Rat was a problem child.

There will always be a place for you, Rat, unfortunately!

If it Ain’t Broke Don’t Fix It ;-) Croc Power !

Election season has started. To bad the candidates won’t heed this advice.

Rat is super petty, so that’s gonna be hard advice for him to follow.

Only if you follow his advice, Rat. And you won’t.

Not entirely true. Yes, it’s a good place to start, but some problems are created beyond a person’s control.

We need all the federal politicians and bureaucrats to go see Wise a** on the Hill!

From Despair.com:

Consulting – if you’re not a part of the solution, there’s good money to be had in prolonging the problem.

You cause problems, you better solve ’em.

My daughter was a Dickens of a teenager. it was the best of times and the worst or times.

The Wise A$$ makes a very valid point.

and spoils all of his fun. :(

Of course, Rat really likes being a rat. It validates his existence.

You have to give Rat credit for self awareness.

Rat can’t help being an a$$hole

That should be the mantra of the all governments.

Did RAT just admit he’s the problem of his and others grief?

A lot of internet trolls are going to be very upset with that suggestion.

We engineers say, if it’s not broken, it does need fixing better.

" . . . d_mn."

I’d be exhausted after climbing that hill.

That about sums it up for too many people!

Between panels 3 and 4, Rat pushed WA off the hill.

Words to live by.

More like the obese Wise A$$ on the hill. He never moves! :D

Rat is very aware of his issues. But he needs the entertainment.

My late father would say the same thing. Miss you dad.

Back to the ol’ drawing board!

Rat should have brought his bat and knocked the Wise A$$ off his high-and-mighty perch….

The whole reason behind facebook
