Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 19, 2020

But who will pay focus on my happiness?

Is the wise ass related to Danny Donkey?

He’s telling the exact truth as I know it. But I admit, I have at least a little empathy. I presume that if you’re 100% self centered, you need to fix that first.

Anyone who spends their life sitting on a hill is either really dumb or really smart. There is no middle ground.

Doesn’t thrill half. as much as dancing cheek to cheek.

That looks like a really steep climb. What an ass-hill.

you asked, Rat, you received

What exactly is that hill made of?

If Pig got a turn, the answer would be “Cheese” and Pig would consider him the wisest wise-ass in the world.

Reminds me of the old joke, If I was put on this Earth to help other people, why were they put here?

Personally, I would be happy if I could get back down that hill without tumbling.

Unlike other wise creatures on hills,this one has to advertise. Second thoughts should arise somewhere.

It only works if you’re not overly selfish.

i’ll focus on the happiness of people who want to make me happy…

Rat’s favorite author is Ayn Rand.

Obviously Rat does not agree! Is he a dumb ass to not to agree with the wise ass?

He’s not spouting gibberish, she’s spouting gibberish. An ass is a female donkey.

A sage and sober Danny Donkey.

Is the Ass on the hill a Jack or Jenny ? …. Croc Power !

That’s why they don’t send donkeys to school. No one likes a smart/wise ass. :)

“Oh, Wise Ass On the Hill, what’s the key to personal happiness?”

“To discover that, you must consult the Wise Acre Down In the Valley.”

That Rat is such a rat.

And Rat is The Fool On The Hill.

Hmmm! Looks like a donkey-pig mix with half baked wisdom! You have to be happy within yourself before you can make others happy….

Hakuna matata! Oh, wait, wrong species.

Kinda surprised the Comics Censor wasn’t in here somewhere…

Well you assed.

The Jackass on the Hill says “spend more, raise taxes”

Run him for office!

Nothing brays louder than a smart ass.

Currently replaced by DumbAss in the White House

Why can’t we read the comics without having some comment about our president in the comments.

This the zen comic of the week…

Or, like the Gates’ charge us egregious prices for poor products and donate huge amounts to do-good organizations we hate. Oh, goody, almost time for another ginormous M.S. Update.

But the question remains; “If a male goat is a Ram, and an ass is a Donkey, then why is a ram in the ass called a goose??” Never waz able to figger that out in all my 80+ years…

Why aren’t they practicing social distancing?

Fat didn’t let the WAOTH finish. " focus on the happiness of others, and find a way to destroy it, misery loves company"

“Most people are about as happy as they make up their mind to be.”

- Abraham Lincoln

He’s not a wise-ass for nothing!

So, basically, Donkey is saying don’t be an ass. That’s some deep sh!t, man.

I thought for sure that this was going to be another Comic Strip Censor guy cartoon.

Rat prefers the Wisdom of Danny the Donkey.

Only because Rat doesn’t like anyone is it gibberish.

Am I reading Pearls Before Swine or The Wizard of Id?

Instead of being up on a hill, a wise ass should be hanging out in a plot of land. A wise ass in a wise acre.

Clearly, Rat did not benefit from toiling up the hill of the Wise Ass. What a waste!

He’s back boys

shut up, you smart hog
