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?

Wiseass is talking in a manner that Rat can understand.

The more some thinky, the more they sinky, and that’s why so many go drinky drinky.

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.

An universal truth.

Is that why you sits on the hill and does nothing but thinky thinky all day?

More Shel Silverstein than Dr Seuss, methinks.

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?

thanks to the moronic p.c. ers in a generation or so there will be noone left who knew who dr. seuss was.

Is that a hill ? or a pile of poop? Just asking.

I have never been up there. I wonder what the big deal is with him.

Both but more of a borrowing from Dr Seuss….

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.
WCraft Premium Member over 3 years ago
Makes a lot of sense. And kudos for having the guts to reference Dr. Seuss!
kenwarnerfordictator over 3 years ago
Uh, all the Wise Ass does is think. You would think that he would be depressed to the point of suicide.
Buckeye67 over 3 years ago
When Rat’s busy he’s up to no good, so that should cure his depression.
DCBakerEsq over 3 years ago
Thinking is the leading cause of depression.

He better not be plagiarizing Dr. Seuss! PC Nazis have declare Dr. Seuss an evil racist, who’s books must be banned! WOKE!!

“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.
