Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 13, 2024

Somehow, I don’t see sitting on a tall hill as a celebration.

He got his wise A$$ down the hill!

I’d love to see the wiseass climb the hill

If there’s no future, we can ignore climate change!

He came down the hill to hug Rat as one of his loved ones? Whoa.

or, get drunk now—you don’t know when the next democrat will outlaw booze.

Good sentiment anyway!

Don’t forget, you can’t remember the present.

well, this strip has devolved into crap.

Panel 6 was really deep and sageful.

I wonder if Stephan has been watching the 70s ”Kung Fu” lately. It’s on the “Outlaw” channel. This has a definite Master Po feel to it.

Some truths are so necessary, they have to be repeated almost 35 years from different wise stages, for me, I first heard this same truth in 1990 from Doc Brown from the BTTF trilogy, today, a new human being will hear the same thing from this comic strip when the WISEASS ON THE HILL says it!!!! “The more things change, the more they stay the same, in other words, history will ALWAYS repeat itself…” Dan aka…

This if the first time I’ve seen him off his hill.

Climate change is the reason there will be no future.

I know several red states where they swear there’s no past. That’s why they’ve banned teaching history. Of course, they probably don’t have much future either. You can tell because the insurance companies are pulling out.

Preach it, Brother!

How true!

Pastis is getting very philosophical lately. I like it.

Hugs loved ones

Thanks, intelligent donkey. It was worth it.

I think both Newsweek and Time wrote short articles on global cooling. So I am not sure calling them urban myths is fair because they were mainstream media at the time. It does support the idea that, then and now, unproven theories from scientists are not science. We do have evidence that the world is getting warmer. The disagreement is why and how we can address it (if that’s even possible)

The past is how we got where we are. There’s no future if the ignorant @$$ in Florida wins.

The W-A has lost his wisdom. Don’t get too sentimental, W-A.

Dad told 7th grade me to do it “now”. His EEuropean sensibilities did not appreciate it when I suggested that “there is no now, it is already the past.”

God Bless America!

So true – hugs all around!

Monday is Canadian Thanksgiving. Yesterday I had dinner with extended family and, as Wise A$$ says, hugged my loved ones. Today I have dinner with my oldest friend and his extended family. Tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, I will go to my sister and hold her cats while she trims their nails.

Puddy tats need loving, too.

SOMEBODY must have got a glimpse into the second week of January of next year…

I’m rather torn about Stephen Pastis turning out to be the sage of our modern times. I suppose a sage can also make horrific puns from time to time.

Wise words indeed……

Wise One hasn’t come down for donkey’s years

But first, pay up our national debt. Each and every U.S. resident send a $100,001 gold bar to Fort Knox by Parcel Post.

Amen!

Wise-A runnin’ down that hill to share his thoughts?

Thank you!

only get one chance to make the best of each moment

Probably needed a break from the stench of the enormous dung pile he sits on.

Sometimes you auld sod, you hit the nail on the head so smartly. (pro tip…less painful if you use a hammer) :=)

So now WAOTH is evangelistic? Kinda goes against the self-absorbed guru thing…
