Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 08, 2024

His answer: Turn around.

Pig must have got some cardio. He looks thinner in the last panel. Good on you, pig.

If he did turn his life around, he’d be unemployable in this strip. Not sure where else he could go. Maybe be Hobb’s tiger food?

If he did turn his life around he maybe would be bnuoɿɒ ɘʇil.

Free advice is usually worth what you paid for it.

To turn your life around, go in the other direction.

Lives don’t turn around very often. The usual trend is up for a while, then gradually downhill to death. Major variation is early death so the gradual decline becomes a cliff.

In this election week, it might be interesting to compare people to nations as regards change. Or maybe even some research to find out how many women were unwilling or afraid to vote against their spouses? Or worse? Pretty sure the “wise @ss” wouldn’t touch that topic with a long pole.

(Funny that the comment system complained about a word from the comic. Got me to reread to make sure my quote was accurate.)

Never too late to improve yourself, Pig!

One word of advice: Plastics.

From the “Tales of Hoffman”.

so the exercise was a first step in turning your life around! You go, Pig!

The only way pig will change his life is when he’s in my fryin’ pan and oven !

That’s not advice. That’s a prediction.

I think the Wise A** is my fav character. Well, I always especially enjoy the ones where Pastis shows up too. Edit: OMG, the comment software wouldn’t allow the name of the character!!

Pig now ask Larry Croc the same question ;-)

You aren’t allowed to type the word “a s s”. The software sees that and blocks it. In the cartoon, the “word” is just a graphic, not actual letters, so it isn’t blocked. Makes sense to me, anyway…

Good Cardio…yes, there is that…

Notheengs is gets solved by just a One Weird Treeck Pig.

“Change is inevitable; except from a vending machine.”

Ouch, Pig. At least you’re still as optimistic as ever.

So, stop asking the donkey for advice?

Search for truth inside the mountain that is yourself.

The wisea$s can tell the truth: “All around a pigs a$$ is pork!”

Just do the “Hokey Pokey”.

Gurus often speak vaguely so the querent will reach the conclusion by thinking about what was meant…Cardio can indeed turn one’s life around, especially if one is as dedicated to eating cheese as Pig is…

Stop waiting at the airport for your ship to come in.

Hey Rat, Great Wise A.ss said you should climb up and ask the question once a day.

Once again, the Wise A$$ demonstrates his wiseness.

That isn’t a hill, it is a pile of….

It’s hard to turn around when you’re face down in the gutter

Yeah, I know better than to click on those “Try this one quick trick to…” clickbait items.

I wonder if that huge hamburger chain has mixed in wise a s s yet, like that horse meat trick.

Do you think it strange that the comic sensors won’t allow a** or hel* but the comics say it all the time?

Wisdom isn’t that hard to find. We just need to listen for it.

If he made a U-turn to get down the hill, he did turn his life around.

Silver bullets only work on werewolf’s. Werepig’s I’m not so sure about.

Now that’s funny!

Sad but true.
