Wisea$$ needed sometime away from the summit.

It depends on why you’re criticizing. But yes, most of the time the criticism is wrong.

On a self imposed break from Twitter. The Trumpanzees relentless poo flinging seems to be based on a mirror, an irony that escapes them

methinks the wise-ass speaks the truth

Rat needs a yes-ass, not a wise-ass

Now we got no Great Wise-Ass, what now?

NEVER trust RAT, that’s all I have to say on THAT subject! Dan aka…

Thus proven, the wise a$$ on the hill always gets pushed down!

It depends on why you’re criticizing them; some people desperately need it.

I am surprised Rat has not done this before or has he?

The Wise Assss on the Hill isn’t an unpredictable hothead, but Rat’s a predictable jerk.

Woah the wise-ass moved!

Revenge for the booting!

Instead of a wise a$$ on the hill now we have a dumb a$$!

Larry Croc we have a job opening just for you ! Just sit on top of this hill ;-)

Wise donkey shoulda known that trying to talk sense into idiots is suicidal. Obviously wise donkey is no wise.

It says more about you than it does about them.

Rat had finally reached the edge with The Wise Donkey.

What’s that mountain made of if all the wisea$$ on the hill just sits there?

So true.

Hey, that’s how the Heffalumps work… PROJECTION of their own faults on others.

Starting to look like fall around here.

He is now called “Wise Azz at the Foot of the Hill”

I have never thought of that before. I wonder how accurate it is.

I seriously doubt that’s true. On the contrary, the faults we criticize the most are often the ones for which we have no temptation or for which we have no opportunity.

That poor donkey. I wonder if he takes his own advice.

A lot of truth in the wise guys comment.

Projecting, we witness that behavior from right-wing populists regularly. Oh wait, this is the no politics cartoon because Pastis has never created a political piece.

So does this mean Rat is the new Wise Asp on the Hill? Cool Beans! The Count ❤️ Rat’s Philosophies and Views on Life and lowly unworthies.

My great grandmother would tell us that what Joe says about Peter tells us more about Joe than it does Peter.

Well, that’s one way to move your a$$.

Old Dutch saying: What you say about others you say about yourself.

I’m not Dutch..

I don’t think I am…

Rat would push himself off a cliff.

Well, out with the Wise ss on the Hill, and in with the smartss rat on the hill.

Author Martha Beck calls this, “You spot it, you got it.” This idea gave me pause to reflect on myself. Rat does not reflect, lol.

Ha! Don’t like the answer? Just get rid of the source…that’s what RATS do!

And there you have the woke philosophy perfectly described in 4 panels.

Sometimes I doubt that donkey is really so wise.

Look who’s talking

Please, please Burro into a hill and be gone forever.

The Wise-Ass explaining Donald Dumpster —also see today’s “Calvin & Hobbes” for Calvin’s take on the Dumpster.

That’ll teach the wise a$$ to be such a wise a$$!

Well, this is awkward. I came here while waiting for my telehealth appointment to begin and had to stop laughing long enough to explain to my doctor why I couldn’t stop laughing.

’bout time someone did it to that jacka$$

Shouldn’t that read “We was an unpredictable hothead.”?

Veritas

“I’m starting with the man in the mirror

I’m asking him to change his ways

And no message could’ve been any clearer

If they wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself and then make a change"

~ Glen Ballard & Siedah Garrett

Well done, Rat! It’s about time time someone knocked that high and mighty “Wise A$$” off his perch! Maybe he won’t get back up, either; we can only hope….

That hurt. Also, Rat looks really stupid on top of that hill.

Now, he’s a dead unpredictable hothead.

Logically Challenged folk believe 0 = 1 and always accuse 1 of being 0. (Good choice for the character of a “rat” for that particular personality!)
