Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 30, 2020

Thank goodness for mountain top delivery.

The Ass implies I am the dumb one in the family.

It’s nice to know a man can depend on his Buds.

It’s good to see there’s at least one hill with some wisdom.

what’d you expect from such an intelligent, yet ludicrous donkey?

24 beers in a box… 24 hours in a day… coincidence…?

Ah, the drunk ass on the hill. Now I know what clarity I can expect.

The problem with being very very drunk is that it only helps for a little while. On the other hand, it DOES work for that little while, and there’s maybe nothing better at the moment.

If I could save “wise” in a bottle…

This strip is a nice change from the usual wise donkey strips. He literally talked down to everyone.

That wisdom is good for what ales anyone!

Crazy wisdom.

Might as well be drunk:

“Day after day, alone on a hill

The ass with the foolish grin

Is keeping perfectly still

But nobody wants to know him

They can see that he’s just a fool

And he never gives an answer…."

(apologies to Beatle Paul)

Say, who pays for all that drinks?

So he’s drunk on his ass?

Isn’t the wise ass on the hill Danny the Donkey’s Father?

Never had a drop of alcohol in my life! If I can make it to the end of this year with that intact I’ll have no doubt I can go without it for my entire life!

Rat looks like you have a drinking partner ! … Croc Power !

In #104:14-15, the Psalmist sings, “Thou dost cause grass to grow for the cattle and plants for man to cultivate that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine to gladden the heart of man …”

I hope that wise ass recycles.

A true role model for Rat.

I hear that’s how the Dalai Lama does it.

Somehow this doesnt seem very different than usual.

Now I know that: Fat Drunk and Stupid is a way to go in life

Cheers!

I guess Pastis foiled the censors by making the Wise Ass an actual donkey.

More Wiser’s than wise. (Canadians will get that)

In Budweiser Veritas.

Don’t people drink to avoid problems? Doesn’t seem like wisdom to be.

I wished I hadn’t been sober for last light’s debates.

After that sh*tstorm in a hailstorm, I did something I rarely do … poured myself a copious amount of scotch to wash away the bad taste in my mouth.

Being a drunk wise ass on the hill …..Capital Hill? HICCUP!

Get your drunk ass off that hill.

The Wise Ass is a gone-case!

Eew, this one’s a real pisser.

o great wise ass on the hill, and how do you hold the pee for so long after drinking all of that..

The drinkers/drunks in this cartoon should form their own AA chapter. This is not how you deal with depression. HINT: Alcohol makes it worse.

As the saying goes, “In . lies truth”.

Although chemically speaking alcohol is a solution, it is not the solution that you are looking for.

I just stop caring.

saw some interesting drinking games posted on FB right before the “debate”…if you could call it that with a straight face

So that was the key to enduring that horror show last night…

Random factoid I learned today: while they’re the same animal, usually “donkey” refers to a domesticated animal, and “ass” to an undomesticated one.

WOW! It’s Rowley Birkin QC!!

So much for placing my trust in the Wise Ass on the Hill. Nothing but a drunken wise ass—and what a polluter, with all those empty cans at the backside of the hill….

A glass of Wiser’s sounds good about now.

You betcha!

Am I the only one who sees Cedric the Entertainer when this guy comes up?

Wise ass strips are my favorite
