Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 26, 2022

Wisea$$ forgot: Concentrate and ask again.

He forgot ‘sometime’.

And, of course, 42.

And, of course, 42.

3 of the 5 paths work.

Sometimes you get what you ask for.

Yes. No. Maybe so Pig.

Now, like with Jeopardy, all you have to do is come up with the right questions to go with the answers.

It does tend toward multiple choice.

Many questions. No meaning.

These days the answers are all right there before your very eyes but nobody wants to looks at them.

Hill guy would be a good politician, giving all ambiguous answers!

I love the Wise A on the Hill (ironically, I could not type his name here.) lol

Maybe wasn’t very specific either.

That wise a$$ on the hill is truly a wise a$$.

Sounds about right.

43.

That’s way too many questions.

“When all else fails, punt.”

It helps to ask the right question, Pig.

Nah.

Waaaay to few „Maybe“ and totally leaving out the myriads „Doesn’t matter“ and „Don’t care“

only 17 questions in life?

When Johnny Carson first signed on as host of The Tonight Show he was so swamped with interview requests that he compiled a list of ten answers—to which reporters were invited to furnish appropriate questions:

1. Yes, I did.

2. Not a bit of truth in that rumor.

3. Only twice in my life, both times on Saturday.

4. I can do either, but I prefer the first.

5. No. Kumquats.

6. I can’t answer that question.

7. Toads and tarantulas.

8. Turkestan, Denmark, Chile, and the Komandorskie Islands.

9. As often as possible, but I’m not very good at it yet. I need much more practice.

10. It happened to some old friends of mine, and it’s a story I’ll never forget!"

That was Madeline Kahn’s bit in History of the World. Slightly different context.

42

Steph, you are balm for my weary soul. Thank you doesn’t seem enough.

being more specific is always a good idea

I’m sorry, my responses are limited. You must ask the right question.

Can you repeat the questions?

Once again I question the wisdom of the wise donkey.

Does anyone know the date Pastis wrote about his dogs death? Our furbaby just departed for the rainbow bridge.

“None of Your Business” is a g ood answer for half of everything

“X” is almost always eleven,and “Y” is almost always nine.

Not necessarily in that order.

If WA can repeat that list, we’ll know he’s not BSing.

“Oh, and 8.227.”

First of all, the answers are aardvark. No matter what the answer really is, the answer is aardvark (one of my personal mottos).

Second, pretty sure today’s strip is a peanuts reffernce. That’s definately Peppermint Patty’s test taking method. And usually the point at which Marcie or Franklin has to tell her it’s not a True or False/Yes or No quiz.

Yes, no, and maybe. And 42.

Your fault, Pig. —Just as it always is.

But, also, Wise A$$ is a useless fraud….

Who gives better advice: this guy or The Tree That Knows Stuff over on Over The Hedge?

I’ve read all the comments and I’m shocked that everyone has overlooked the most important answer of all: “Whatever!”

“And one good ole fashioned ‘maybe’!” – Peppermint Patty

♫ No-no, no, no, no-no-no, no, no-no, no, no-no Na-no, no, na-no, no-no, na-no, no-no, no, no-no, no Nobody can do the (Shing-a-ling) like I do ♫
