    Plagiarizing Dr. Seuss is brilliant unless you get caught.

    Considering what the “hill” appears tbe made of, “stinky” seems appropriate.

    There’s a wise ass on the hill, I’m pretty sure he sits there still.

    For Rat, being busy means that he’s talking. Ergo, he gets depressed when he’s not jabbering away.

    Wise Ass on the Hill reminds me of David Letterman.

    That “hill” is a pile of his own making, so climb at your own risk.

    I have two questions about this strip.

    First, doesn’t keeping busy at least require some people to think? If you’re an engineer, or doctor, or teacher, or any of numerous professions, thinking is pretty much required.

    Second, is the wise ass implying that he doesn’t think? Can you become wise without thinking?

    Why is it that thinking depresses you? Is it because of your thoughtless actions in the past?

    I believe that the pandemic may be starting to take a toll on the Wise Ass; also he might be looking in too many childhood scrapbooks.

    Uh, all the Wise Ass does is think. You would think that he would be depressed to the point of suicide.

    When Rat’s busy he’s up to no good, so that should cure his depression.

    “Idle hands are the devil’s tools.” — Geoffrey Chaucer, 12th century English poet and author.

    The pandemic has proven 2020, and thus far 2021, that Chaucer’s quote is as true today as it was in his time.
