Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 08, 2022

Who is the Wise Ass loving on that mountain?

What about those of us who hate everyone and are hopeless at making loot? Are we here just as filler?

Today’s background music: “Get Together” by The Youngbloods.

This is largely true. My Zen master has said that the more conscious and less unconscious someone becomes, the more they turn into an incarnation of love itself, with life as an ongoing celebration rather than an affair of pure sorrow and coercion.

From a wise ass to a dumb one!

I seem to remember that I learned here in the comics that we’re put on Earth to be tiger food…

Rat seems to be a Ferengi.

We are not “put here” on Earth.

Life is an accident of biology. There’s no grand purpose.

Of course Rat knows that the wise ass on the hill is misinformed.

Rat must be speaking for Musk and Bezos, feel free to add a third person

Fake news, Rat. That was really the Dumb Ass on the Mountain.

It looks a lot like the Wise Ass on a pile of _____.

better to be born a wise ass than a dumb ass…….

I’m surprised that there is not a long line to see W A .Shouldn’t there be one of those take a number gadgetsto know who’s next, I mean of the busier days?

I don’t get why people who already have pretty much everything are still spending their time just acquiring more loot.

Shouldn’t that be BADLY INFORMED?

I would leave a comment but I need paid and I’ll. love it

You call me your friend

but you only want my gifts

And I’ll never see you if I had no loot

- Tony! Toni! Tone!

Not just one.

More like several.

Q1: What is the chief end of man?A1: Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him for ever.

I try very hard to love my neighbor as I love myself. But some of them make it very challenging to do so, as they’re quite vocal about what should be done about people like me who disagree with them at times. . . /s

I see a lot of love in the comments. And in the comic strips. And on social media. And in real life!!! I know what you are thinking… A Three Dog Night song you say?

This isn’t 2020 any more, Rat. We can all stop stockpiling toilet paper.

Wise Ass has been using that Porta-Potty for far too long.

Churches used to teach that, but it wasn’t profitable so they went with “being rich means God loves you!”

Does that donkey ever leave the mountain?

The fact that you have to climb a hill of s**t doesn’t clue you in?

Rat is totally confused…he thought it was all about him

Prosperity Gospel to the main stage.

He’s actually a pretty smart Ass …

You’re asking a guy sitting on his own enormous pile of dung, so…

Acquiring loot is the Madison Avenue Christian heresy. We need to admit this in the next creed,

Wise ass on Hill….homesick for corned beef and sharp mustard.

After much analysis, I conclude he proves crap always flows down hill.

Seems Wise Ass disagrees with Kurt Vonnegut, who said we were put here to fart around.

You Rat.

We are but a virus infecting the planet.

 Quantum physics and related theories say that the act of observation changes what we see just by the act of looking at it—so much for objectivity being able to show us the unvarnished truth. The idea that both the big bang starting it all with a beginning and an end -and the concept that we have always been and always will be are both correct is mind boggling. Everything is important and not important. There is no logic for any of it to exist-and yet, here we are, sentient beings using logic to try to understand the meaning of our existence. That a prayer may be answered before it is prayed hints of a place where there is no time. We are all energy, our thoughts are energy, and we are all connected in the creators’ matrix. So maybe we can’t recognize the real logic, reason, and morality—- but we live in an intelligent design, we are intelligent beings, and we will continue to wonder as we wander.

The purpose of life is to continue life, so Wise Ass is right if you take it literally.

I myself am not so quite so keen on all the stuff I’ve gathered over the years. With a move coming up, I’m looking to get rid of some of it.

You are Speaking for Yourself, Rat.

Wise Ass was right, for a change….

Oh, F*** you. We are “GOD’S CREATION!!” Dan aka Ryan

You sound depressed Please get some help if you are.

Well, it’s for sure you can’t take it with you.

Loot? Is rat a gamer? I could see him playing C.O.D or maybe Halo… Destiny…

Anyone else feel pig plays Minecraft from all the fantasies he makes?
